Introduction – A Bi-Coloured Gem of Balance
What makes watermelon tourmaline so special is that a single crystal holds two or more colours at once — a natural pink-and-green (sometimes blue) banding that forms as the crystal grows. This unique appearance, and its gentle, loving energy, make it a favourite for jewellery and crystal healing alike.
