Watermelon Tourmaline Faceted Sterling Silver Earrings Double Terminated Point artfully set with Bell RockPink at the center, green at the rimthe color zoning visible through the facets like a cross section of fruit. Watermelon tourmaline is a color zoned elbaite tourmaline in which the core of the crystal grows pink or red (from manganese) while the outer zone grows green (from iron), producing the characteristic concentric color pattern. This zoning develops as trace element concentrations shift in the surrounding pegmatitic fluid during crystal growth.
