Watermelon tourmaline forms in pegmatite veins within metamorphic rocks under high pressure and temperature conditions. Its distinctive pink and green hues result from variations in the mineral's composition during its formation. The pink core develops due to the presence of manganese, while the green rim forms from iron-rich components. As the tourmaline crystal grows, changes in chemical composition occur, leading to the unique watermelon-like coloration. This phenomenon is known as zoning, where different colour zones form within a single crystal.

The enchanting colours of Watermelon Tourmaline are a result of its unique composition, with the inner layer typically displaying vibrant pink hues representing love and compassion, while the outer core exhibits shades of green symbolising growth and vitality. This dual-coloured formation is believed to enhance one's ability to express love and gratitude, while also promoting personal growth and self-discovery.
