The crystal with a variety of colors is called a multi-colored Tourmaline or a bi-color Tourmaline,this forms the most beautiful coloration in Tourmalineand it is very rare.This color combination is very similar to watermelon’s flesh and skin,so it’s called the“Watermelon Tourmaline”.Afghanistan is one of the world’s finest multi-colored Tourmaline origins,but 90% of the crystals were damaged by the harshest environment and poor mining techniques making them uncollectable.
This typical bi-color Tourmaline specimen is in green and pink color.Top of the crystal is in bright apple green color,which transitioned to the pink color sharply.The whole specimen has bright gloss color.
This crystal is complete with lively color and luster.The main crystal interacts with the white Cleavelandite and forms a delightful contrast.There are several small-multicolored Tourmaline clusters on the side,vivid and cuddly,thisis a high quality bi-color Tourmaline specimen.
