Paraiba Tourmaline
Genuine • Natural • Certified
Paraiba Tourmaline is a captivating gemstone known for its mesmerizing electric blue and green hues. This unique gem belongs to the tourmaline family and derives its name from the Brazilian state of Paraiba, where it was first discovered in 1989. The vibrant coloration of Paraiba Tourmaline is attributed to the presence of copper and manganese elements within its crystal structure. Although Brazil was the initial source of Paraiba tourmalines, deposits have also been found in Mozambique and Nigeria. However, the original Brazilian Paraiba Tourmalines are considered the most prized due to their exceptional color saturation and scarcity. The gemstone's brilliance and intensity make it highly sought after by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts.
