Paraiba tourmaline is an incredibly rare gemstone that is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is unique. The vivid and almost unearthly colors of paraiba tourmalines range from emerald, neon green, turquoise, neon blue, sapphire blue, sky blue, blue-violet, indigo to purple. Some of these extraordinary hues are not found naturally in any other stone on earth. The paraiba tourmaline gets these unprecedented vivid colors through the presence of manganese and copper within the stone which is unique among tourmalines. These cupriferous tourmalines from the Mina da Batalha in the Federal Brazilian State of Paraiba are small, rare and precious.
