 Tourmaline is a gemstone whose crystals occur in hundreds of recognized hues - more than any other gemstone. While it is found primarily in areas of Africa and South America, there have been discoveries in Maine that rank among the world's largest. In fact, the series of pockets uncovered at the Dunton Mine outside of Newry, Maine in 1972 ranks as the largest tourmaline discovery in North American history.
Maine tourmaline comes in a plethora of color; however, it offers a softer series of pastels than is found elsewhere. Maine is also known for its truly unique "Watermelon" tourmaline, bi-color tourmaline that when sliced and polished resemble that delicious fruit. R.D. Allen Jewelers is excited to have purchased over 200 high quality pieces of this special form of tourmaline. We have worked with several designers to offer you a variety of styles to choose from in either gold or silver. R.D. Allen also has over 100 loose watermelon slices to create your very own custom piece. Visit our watermelon garden in person or on our web page and pick your watermelon while supplies last! |
