Crystal Confab Podcast Introduction: Are you just starting with crystals? Or maybe you have a whole collection, but aren't sure how to use them? Join 4 crystal nerds, healers, workers, and lovers for crystal confab, a casual chat about all things crystals. Nicholas Pearson: Hello, and welcome to Crystal Confab. Join me and my friends, Ashley, Adam, and Kyle, as we confab about a new crystal each week. And this week, we get to talk about something really special, unusual, rare, wonderful, magical, and it is watermelon tourmaline. And I think we should hand it on over to Ashley to give us a lowdown on what makes it special. Ashley Leavy: Oh, hello, everyone. So excited to be doing another episode of Crystal Confab. I love this crystal. This has long ranked in my top five, maybe even my top three crystals, dare I say, for a while. I named it out loud as my favorite, which if you're anything like me, you know, it's so hard to pick an absolute favorite crystal. But I love this stone for so many reasons. Largely though, because I am so drawn to the color. I'm definitely a big color person. I get a lot out of the different colors of stones that I work with. And there's something so magical about this combination of the green and the pink that just makes me feel some kind of way. And I want to take a moment to kind of talk about the difference between in my eyes at least, and, you know, I'll let my fellow cohost decide for themselves here. But in my eyes, between a true watermelon tourmaline and a bicolor tourmaline. So let me sort of explain. A bicolor tourmaline could be any tourmaline that has two colors. And usually, these are going to be at opposite ends of the stone, so you'll often have, you know, a different colored cap. Sometimes you'll have more than 2 colors in a long tourmaline crystal, and this is pretty common. We see this a lot that there's this really distinct color zoning that can happen. And this is one of the things that makes these stones so incredibly magical. But watermelon tourmaline is a little bit different because rather than the color happening, different on one end of the crystal and the other, it actually happens from the inside out. So there is this colorful core, in this case, that is pink, and then this sort of shell or exterior, in the case of watermelon tourmaline, that would be green. And so what happens when that is sliced is you get these really stunning concentric circles of color. And this is one of the things that I think is so special about this stone. And so I just want to sort of put out there that, you know, just because you see a piece of Tourmaline and it happens to be pink and green, I wouldn't necessarily always call that watermelon. It has to have those concentric circles. And in researching for a blog post I wrote just a little while back, I found through min.org, which one of the best websites out there for great info about crystals, that the first time the name watermelon was used to describe Tourmaline goes back to 1910 in Maine. When some was found, the name was coined by George Roblee Howe. So that was pretty exciting that this has reall...
