What makes it so special? Not all rare gemstones are equally sought-after while many are rare, they may lack the vibrant allure of Paraiba tourmaline or have a softness in hardness that limits their desirability.

This rare composition gives Paraiba tourmaline its signature vibrant hues, ranging from bright neon blues and greens to bluish-greens.

Since then, additional deposits have been discovered in Mozambique and Nigeria, though the most prized Paraiba tourmalines still come from Brazil. These stones are prized not only for their beauty but also for their rarity—so rare, in fact, that for every 10,000 diamonds mined, only one Paraiba tourmaline is found.
