Think this may be also referred to as watermelon tourmaline - just love it
Used to make jewelry and purchased a few much smaller stones
This is an beautiful specimen! Colors are so pure😍!
@CinnamonGirlE gorgeous! 😍 love those colors together Cinny
Came up w my screen name, Umba sapphire, during time period when making jewelry...it's another favorite. It's from the Umba River area of Tanzania. So many different colors (though using a different spelling of sapphire like I did... don't ask me why😩 now reminds me a porn star name lol 😅) ... anyway these are some of the colors of the Umba
@UmbaSaffire
I love how you came up with your name. And these colors are fabulous as well.
What kind of jewelry did you make?
@CinnamonGirlE oh ty! Made mainly earrings, some necklaces - like metal working & mixing different metals, some beadwork. Have a good collection of tools and supplies, hope to get back to it at some point, still have much to learn. Thx for asking.
My bad! Wrong crystal! 🤣
So many crystals! So easily confused! 🤣
