Discover the extraordinary characteristics of this gem as well as its value on the market.
The characteristics of Paraiba tourmaline
Paraiba tourmaline is distinguished by its intense color ranging from blue-green to turquoise green. This remarkable hue is due to the presence of copper in its chemical composition, which gives it its unique shine. The exceptional transparency of Paraiba Tourmaline allows light to reflect dramatically, creating a dazzling luminous effect.
Besides its color, Paraíba tourmaline is also distinguished by its hardness, which is between 7 and 7.5 on the Mohs scale. This hardness makes it strong enough to be cut into different shapes and used in jewelry.
The rarity and value of Paraiba tourmaline
Paraiba Tourmaline is considered one of the rarest gemstones in the world. Its presence is limited to a few deposits in the Paraiba region, notably in Brazil and more recently in Nigeria and Mozambique. The rare combination of copper and manganese in these deposits gives Paraiba tourmaline its distinctive and coveted color.
Due to its rarity and exceptional beauty, Paraiba tourmaline fetches high prices in the market. High-quality stones with intense color and large size are particularly popular. Collectors, jewelry enthusiasts, and jewelers around the world seek to acquire Paraiba tourmaline pieces for their intrinsic value and visual appeal.
