These zones often consist of pink, green, and white or clear sections, creating a mesmerizing visual effect that sets tri-color tourmaline apart from other gemstones.
The formation of these tri-color zones in tourmaline is a result of the gem's crystal growth process, which can be influenced by changes in chemical composition during its formation.
