Item Description

A beautiful polished slice of the famous "watermelon" Tourmaline as you can clearly see the outer green "rind" surrounding the pink interior. The best part of the piece is that the outer "rind" is completely in tact and not broken or chipped up! Typically we're used to seeing "watermelon" Tourmalines from Brazil, but a contact in Pakistan recently sold us a small parcel of these beautiful polished slices that came out of Afghanistan. A good piece for any collector of this material. Also a great piece for jewelry / wire wrapping!
