Description
This round triplet offers the look of watermelon tourmaline at a budget-friendly price. The triplet is composed of a faceted clear quartz top and bottom; the adhesive that holds the two halves together provides the beautiful two-tone watermelon color. The relative durability of quartz makes it ideal all types of jewelry. The natural transparency of crystal quartz makes it an ideal alternative to expensive gemstones or CZs.
One of the most common minerals, quartz comes in many varieties and colors. The two main categories are macrocrystalline, which are usually transparent and crystals are visible, and cryptocrystalline, which appear translucent or opaque. The many varieties of quartz each offer distinct characteristics and, according to folklore, their own powers and purposes.
Round-cut gemstones are highly popular and the most commonly available. Rio round gemstones are calibrated for size and hand inspected to ensure maximum attractiveness.
