I am pleased to present a beautiful transparent watermelon tourmaline from The Natural Gemstone Company, weighing 1.25 carat, in a slice shape that measures 8.06 x 6.98 x 2.35 mm. This specimen shows a vivid pink core surrounded by a bluish green outer rim, creating the classic watermelon effect with medium intense color intensity and excellent polish. The clarity is slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which lends natural character without detracting from the gem clarity or brilliance. There has been no enhancement to this stone, and its origin is Mozambique, a source known for producing highly desirable tourmalines.
This slice shape piece is ideal for jewelry that showcases its unique cross sectional color zoning, such as a finely crafted pendant with an open back to maximize light transmission, a delicate bezel ring for everyday wear, or a pair of custom stud earrings to highlight the concentric color. The transparent nature and excellent polish allow light to pass through and emphasize the inner pink nucleus, while the slight inclusions act as natural fingerprints that confirm the gem is untreated. At 1.25 carat and with the given dimensions, the stone balances presence with wearability, and it will read as a distinctive focal point in both modern and vintage inspired settings. For care, I recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic or steam cleaners, because the inclusions and natural growth features respond best to careful handling.
At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the authenticity and natural beauty of this Mozambique watermelon tourmaline, and we are happy to provide additional images, a short video, or assistance with setting and bespoke design options. If you would like to explore matching stones or discuss mounting suggestions that enhance the slice profile and protect the stone during wear, I am here to advise on metal choices and settings that complement the color contrast and protect the thin edge. This is a rare and charming example of a slice watermelon tourmaline, perfect for a collector or a special custom commission, and I look forward to helping you make it part of your next creation.
