Watermelon tourmaline is a rare form of tourmaline that exhibits up to three different colors which are store similar to those of watermelons. The watermelon tourmaline crystal consists of a green color which would be indicative of a watermelon's outer skin. Also present, is a pinkish red color that resembles the inner part of a watermelon. At times, there is a white color that will separate the green from the pink/red, and the white has a resemblance to a watermelon's rind. The green and pink/red placement will differ by stone. Green will not always be on the outside. Some times the colors will do a flip flop. If the white (rind) band is not present, the gemstone is sometimes called a bi-colored tourmaline.
