Where Is It From? Watermelon Tourmaline Meaning

Watermelon Tourmaline is the name used to describe crystals that commonly have layers of color that resemble a Watermelon.

This name is easy to understand, as they have a deep pinkish red coloration on the interior, with a lovely green section on the outside, like a watermelon.

It is a variety of bi-colored Tourmaline that is comprised of sections that are pink or red mixed with green sections.

Some stones have a fine white line dividing the green and reddish colored sections, and you'll notice that the area to the outside is a deeper green.

This stone was first discovered in a mine in Newry in the state of Maine in the United States, and delightful specimens of this stone are still found in this location.

It has since been found in other places including in Nigeria, Malawi, Mozambique, Madagascar, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Russia, Burma, Brazil and Kangaroo Island in South Australia. 

It may be obtained as slices of stone, as tumblestones or as beautiful specimens that are in the raw or natural form.

Look for stones that are a deeper magenta or ruby red color rather than light pink.

Many pieces of this stone do not have the classic watermelon look, and you can see this in some of the images below where the colors are merged.

Its makeup varies and may contain a number of minerals, including aluminium, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium or potassium.

Regardless of the look they have the same energy, but many people prefer to obtain stones that have the classic look.

But if you are more interested in the metaphysical properties, the stones with merged colors may be less expensive.

This is one of the stones that are commonly faked, so if you find that it looks too good to be true, it may in fact be a fake so be careful.
