AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Visual presentation
A set of five Watermelon tourmaline slices, featuring a beautiful variety of shades. They feature pink centers ranging from soft pink to deep magenta, surrounded by bright green or slightly smoky edges. The varied shapes and transparency of the slices enhance their unique and natural character.
Technical features
Total weight: 3,585 carats
Dimensions: approximately 5 mm each
Origin: Afghanistan
Colors: Shades of pink (light to intense) at the heart, with green borders and sometimes a slight intermediate transition.
Features: harmonious ensemble, well-defined contrasts, translucent slices beautifully letting light pass through.
Rarity and interest
These slices are typical of the most beautiful specimens of Afghan Watermelon tourmaline. The variation in shades within the same batch makes it a precious selection, ideal for original jewelry creations or to enrich a collection of natural gemstones.
Geological context
From Afghan deposits, renowned for their vivid colors and purity, these slices attest to the zoned growth phenomenon characteristic of tourmalines, which creates the highly sought-after 'watermelon' effect.
Conclusion
A balanced lot of 5 Watermelon tourmaline slices totaling 3.585 carats, perfect for collection or jewelry, offering a beautiful balance between color intensity and natural diversity.
