Tourmaline (General & Bi-colour)
Standard tourmalines exhibit a broad range of colours, including vibrant greens, pinks, and yellows. Because the chemical environment often changes while the crystal is growing, tourmalines frequently display distinct colour zones within a single crystal. This produces bi-colour gems such as the well-known watermelon tourmaline, which features a pink core surrounded by a green rind.
