The "watermelon tourmaline” is one of the most popular types of Tourmaline. It has a pink center with a green rind.

Tourmaline is very known for its fantastic ability to look like other gemstones and create some confusions: many gemstones in the Russian Crown jewels from the 17th Century once thought to be Rubies, are in fact Tourmalines. This semi-precious stone could be really, really charming. The last Empress of the Ch'ing Dynasty was so passionate about this stone that she bought huge quantities of it, mostly of pink color from mines discovered during her reign in California. After that, the Tourmaline was used for jacket buttons watches and other clothing accessories worn by the Imperial Court and some other rich personalities.
