Paraiba Type Tourmalines
Paraiba type tourmalines are renowned for their extraordinary neon blue to green hues, which are unique among gemstones. This vibrant colouration is due to trace amounts of copper, sometimes combined with manganese, which creates an electrifying brilliance. Discovered in the late 1980s, these gemstones have quickly become some of the most coveted in the world due to their rarity and distinctive beauty.
The original and most famous Paraiba tourmalines were found in the Brazilian state of Paraiba, which is why they carry the name. These Brazilian stones are considered the most valuable due to their exceptional colour saturation and rarity. However, similar tourmalines have been discovered in other locations, such as Nigeria and Mozambique, contributing to the broader classification of "Paraiba type" tourmalines.
Despite these additional sources, the rarity of Paraiba type tourmalines remains high. The limited supply coupled with their striking appearance makes them highly prized in the gemstone market. Collectors and jewellery enthusiasts alike seek these gems for their unparalleled beauty and the prestige associated with their rarity.
