——————-

Description:
A beautifully proportioned Brazilian Watermelon Tourmaline slice, remarkable for its near-perfect overall geometry and its exceptionally well balanced chromatic architecture. The central pink core is one of the most refined of the entire collection, displaying a rounded triangular form with AAA grade definition, luminous saturation and a clean internal structure that captures light with elegance.

Encircling the vibrant pink nucleus lies a crisp white transitional halo, smooth and even, providing the ideal contrast that collectors prize in high end Watermelon material. The outer green rim is equally harmonious, soft yet well defined,completing the classic three phase zoning that places this slice firmly within the museum grade category.

A single superficial inclusion can be observed under magnification, yet it remains confined to the surface and does not interrupt the internal translucency, nor the zoning. Its presence is minimal and does not detract from the aesthetic value. The slice maintains a highly desirable balance between structure, transparency and chromatic purity, making it one of the most attractively proportioned pieces of the entire series.
