About the Item

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Gem type : Natural Paraiba Tourmaline Origin: Mozambique Treatment: Natural Color: Blue shape: Oval Size: 5.29 Carats Paraiba tourmaline is a rare and highly valued variety of tourmaline that is known for its vivid blue to green colors, which are caused by trace amounts of copper. The name "Paraiba" comes from the state of Paraíba in Brazil, where this gemstone was first discovered in the late 1980s. However, similar stones have since been found in other locations, such as Nigeria and Mozambique, though Brazilian Paraiba tourmalines are often considered the most prized. The Gia (Gemological Institute of America) certification for Paraiba tourmaline ensures the authenticity and quality of the gemstone. This certification includes a detailed analysis of the stone's color, clarity, cut, carat weight, and its origin. The GIA certificate is highly regarded in the gemstone industry and provides assurance to buyers regarding the gemstone's characteristics and value. Key characteristics of Paraiba tourmaline include: 1. **Color**: The most sought-after Paraiba tourmalines exhibit intense neon blue, turquoise, or green hues, often described as "electric" or "neon." 2. **Clarity**: These gemstones can have inclusions, which are natural and expected, though the fewer the inclusions, the higher the value. 3. **Cut**: Because of their rarity, Paraiba tourmalines are often cut to maximize weight rather than to adhere to traditional cutting standards. 4. **Carat Weight**: Larger Paraiba tourmalines are exceptionally rare, and their value increases exponentially with size. The unique color and rarity of Paraiba tourmaline make it highly coveted among collectors and jewelry enthusiasts. Its brilliance and vibrant color make it a standout gemstone in any setting.
