Paraiba Tourmaline

No other gemstone has made such an impression on the gemstone market in recent years as the Paraiba tourmaline. This material is named after the Brazilian state of Paraiba, where it was first discovered in 1987.

Its extraordinarily bright blue, turquoise to green color is not found in any other wearable gemstone. The hue is often described as "electric" or "neon" and evokes the image of a beautiful, azure tropical sea.

When well-cut, this gemstone literally shines. The Paraiba tourmaline seems to emit light on its own, even in low ambient light. It owes its impressive color intensity to traces of copper and manganese, which had never before been found in any other type of tourmaline. This alone makes the stone a geological rarity.

These properties are why the Paraiba tourmaline is one of the most expensive and sought-after gemstones in the world. Its per-carat price can far exceed that of flawless, perfect diamonds when the colors and clarity are excellent. The best colors are generally achieved by lightly heating the stone, which removes secondary purple and green tones.

Unfortunately, this mineral is extremely rare. The Brazilian deposits have long been considered depleted, and there is currently no significant mining activity. The African mining areas in Nigeria or Mozambique, which were developed later (around 2000), have already been largely mined out.
