The Brazilian Paraiba Tourmaline is the most sought after stone in this class.

Paraiba prices have soared up exponentially in recent years. It is considered to be one of the most precious gemstones and one of the best  long term financial investments currently available due to their unique rarity as the best Brazilian mining sites are no longer producing gems.

The brilliant, neon blues that come from the Brazilian mine are incomparable to the other mines in the world. This is where the stone was first found.

But production is very limited. There are two African sources of Paraiba discovered in the early 2000’s; one in Mozambique and one in Nigeria.

Stones from both are chemically identical to the original deposits in Brazil. with spectacular

hues of vibrant greens and seafoam. These new sources are both small, like the Brazilian deposits, and the mining techniques required mean that these stones are every bit as rare and precious as Brazilian.

Unlike Brazil, however, these are proving to be a consistently reliable, if limited, source

of Paraiba Tourmaline. *Note: the true colors of Paraiba Tourmaline literally cannot be reproduced in print.

The actual stones are far more intensly colored than these images suggest.

Paraiba Tourmaline is a very rare variety of Tourmaline prized for its Neon Blue, Green and Blue Green Colors. It was traditionally mined from Brazil, but today we have different deposit from Nigeria and Mozambique.
