What makes a watermelon chalice a watermelon chalice

[Tabasco1]

:) I am having a hard time finding the common identifier among watermelon chalices. Is there something specific that makes links the different kinds of watermelon chalices specificlly a watermelon chalice? Or is it just naming?

imo, watermelon chalices have green rims, usually have yellow or greenish eyes, and can vary in color, but most are maroon, red, pink, or blue

Here are some examples of watermelons.. They are suppose to have a green rim around them. It can be thin or not, but keep in mind that some times you can see only it on a side because the frags is healing etc..

So, would My Miami be categorized as a type of "watermelon" chalice since it has a green rim?

Now do the eyes have to be a different color? I have a chalice that has a green growth ring but the eyes do not stand out. They are the same color as the body.

:) Nice restraint. Nice thread, I have to agree that watermelons should have a pink/red base and green rim. I understand that the hobby has moved on, but it would really make things much easier for the common folk.

Thanks for finding!

Definitely agree that a watermelon should resemble a watermelon - red/pink inside and green on outside...now if we could only find one with black eyes and call it a TRUE Watermelon
