Some colors glow. Paraiba tourmaline radiates.
This greenish blue – classified by GRS as "Paraiba"-type color – is unlike any ordinary blue. It carries an intensity that other gemstones simply cannot match. The reason lies in its copper content: it is copper that gives Paraiba tourmaline its electric, almost surreal luminosity, one that holds even in dim light. Pastel tone or not – this color needs no saturation to command attention.
1.56 carats, oval faceted, 9.10 × 6.05 mm. Origin: Mozambique. African Paraibas have drawn serious attention from collectors and gemmologists worldwide in recent years – GRS explicitly confirms the characteristic Paraiba color here. That is not a technicality. That is a statement.
Significant inclusions are present – not unusual for Paraiba tourmaline at this size, and they do nothing to diminish the extraordinary color. Two of the most respected laboratories in the world – GRS and ALGT – have examined this stone. For those who demand certainty with Paraiba, this one delivers it twice over.
A stone for those who understand that Paraiba is not about perfection. It is about that one, incomparable glow.
