RARE 5-COLOR "INVERTED" WATERMELON TOURMALINE NATURAL CRYSTAL (38.0 ct) | HANDCRAFTED WIRE-WRAPPED PENDANT & 18K GOLD-PLATED PORTUGUESE LINK CHAIN

Geojoia – Exclusive Natural Crystal Jewelry by LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS

A masterpiece of Brazilian nature: Watermelon Tourmaline (Elbaite) featuring five concentric color zones in an "inverted" sequence (pink core, green rim): dark green, green, white, pink, and yellowish-green. This natural prismatic crystal (38.0 ct) is a doubly terminated twin; it is cradled by a handcrafted wire-wrapped setting and suspended from a Portuguese link chain—both 18k gold-plated—creating a luxurious contrast between the golden gleam and the gem's vibrant color palette.

ORIGIN & THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY

Watermelon Tourmaline is an Elbaite—a borosilicate of aluminum, sodium, and lithium, containing trace amounts of Cs, Be, Ba, Zn, Sn, Nb, and Ta, among other rare elements. It originates primarily in granitic pegmatites. It typically forms long prismatic crystals with rounded triangular cross-sections, featuring strong lengthwise striations and multiple terminations; it is translucent with a vitreous luster and exhibits the unique properties of piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity.

The concentric bands arise from chemical fluctuations during crystal growth, where Manganese (Mn) typically promotes pink hues at the center, while Chromium (Cr) and Vanadium (V) favor green at the edges. With a hardness of 7–7.5 (Mohs), vitreous luster, and subtle pleochroism, Watermelon Tourmaline boasts an incomparable visual presence—whether in translucent form with internal "watercolor" effects or as a more sharply defined "slice." WHAT MAKES THIS GEO-JEWEL UNIQUE
