Paraiba Tourmaline

Paraíba Tourmaline is a highly sought-after gemstone known for its unique and vivid colors, ranging from intense blue to green. Discovered in the 1980s in the Brazilian state of Paraíba, from which it gets its name, this gemstone quickly gained popularity and value due to its rarity and the striking neon-like quality of its colors. These vibrant hues are primarily due to the presence of copper and manganese in the stones, which are elements not typically found in other types of tourmalines.
