Two beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, watermelon tourmalines are attached to the side of a fine, glassy euhedral quartz crystal. The larger tourmaline is 3.1 cm. It has superb and classic Pederneira tourmaline color characteristics, with very bright colors. The striking, central core of vivid, watermelon-pink has a thin, outer sheath of green, above a green base. The lustrous cap is a spectacular, teal-blue. The base is broken, but has healed. The bit of cleavelandite below the tourmalines is a nice accent.
