Tourmaline ("Watermelon Slice") bi-color and I really think it

and I really think it looks better in person

which is only found in a SELECT FEW localities around the world in crystals that are gemmy enough to produce fine cut stones

but rather a few blades in parallel growth twinned together

the piece was a gift from Erberto Tealdi (former editor of Rivista Mineralogica Italiana)

A true favorite of many collectors is the rare color change Sapphire

Tourmaline ("Watermelon Slice") bi-color and I really think itLots of people talk about "Watermelon" Tourmaline in terms of the simple combination of green and pink, but THIS is what a true "Watermelon" Tourmaline should look like.
