——————-

Description:
A slice that immediately commands attention, sculpted in the natural geometry that only the finest Watermelon Tourmalines from Minas Gerais can show. At the heart lies a perfectly defined rose fuchsia core, forming a rounded triangular nucleus whose colour radiates with remarkable purity. Surrounding this vibrant centre, a delicate and unmistakable white transition ring softens the passage toward the outer green layer, a feature considered rare and highly desirable in true collector grade Watermelons.

The green perimeter is bright, clean, and evenly distributed, forming a harmonious frame that balances the intensity of the inner colour. The translucency is exceptional, allowing light to glide through the entire structure without interruption, revealing subtle internal luminosity and highlighting the extraordinary definition between the colour zones. No black inclusions, no fractures disrupting the symmetry, only a clean, vibrant and highly aesthetic natural gemstone slice.

This is a superior piece within the species, selected specifically for its symmetry, its clarity and the rare three-phase colour transition that elevates it far above typical commercial slices found on the market. A true museum-grade Watermelon Tourmaline.
