——————-

Description:
A natural Watermelon Tourmaline slice from Minas Gerais displaying a soft but highly aesthetic chromatic structure. At the centre lies a gentle pink core with a rounded triangular outline, less intense than the first piece of the series but still clearly defined and naturally luminous. This core transitions into a subtle pale halo before meeting the outer green rim, which appears slightly irregular but retains the authentic colour zoning characteristic of true watermelon slices from Brazilian pegmatites.

The green perimeter is darker and more saturated on one side, creating an organic asymmetry that gives this slice a more raw, natural identity. Its translucency is moderate but clean, allowing the inner colours to diffuse softly when illuminated, revealing the internal structure without any black inclusions or intrusive fractures.

This slice stands out for its natural zoning, its pleasing organic geometry, and its attractive chromatic balance. A genuine collector’s slice with a character of its own within the five piece limited edition.
