Watermelon Tourmaline Mohs Hardness – 7-7.5 Found in – Russia, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Tanzania, Nambia, South Africa, Zinbabwe, Mozambique, Kenya & the USA History – Watermelon Tourmaline refers to bi-colored tourmaline of pink and green in the same crystal. Slices of this stone should have a green rind with a pink center. There are currently 10 different varieties in the tourmaline family. The name is derived from ancient Singhalese term turmali (mixed colored stones). Tourmaline is estimated to have been used as a gem for over 2000 years, especially by the Chinese. In 1703 a package of this stone was sent by mistake to Amsterdam. The Dutch noticed that the stone attracted ashes and straw when heated, and named the stones aschenstrekkers (ash drawers). Magicians used it in Sri Lanka to tell prophecies from the ashes. Tourmaline and Quartz are the only two common stones known to be pzioelectric, or capable of producing opposite electrical charges when pressure is exerted on both ends of a crystal. Metaphysical – In ancient times the stone was believed to glow with its own energy. It symbolized wealth, friendship and love. Watermelon Tourmaline is thought to help alleviate pain, strengthen the immune system and protect the nerves. Types of Tourmaline include: Elbaite(multi), Verdilite(green), Watermelon(pink & green), Rubellite(pink to red), Indicolite(blue), Dravite(yellow to brown), Achroite(clear), Schorl(black), Pariba(neon blue green) & Siberite(purple) Metaphysical – reported to balance male/female energies, attract love, success and management.
