This rare 12.80 ct Paraiba Tourmaline dazzles with the white diamonds.
Paraiba tourmalines are one of the most sought-after gems in the world. With such a high demand and mines that are almost depleted, these gems can be hard to find, especially in large sizes, which is what makes this 12.80 carat Paraiba tourmaline so special. The large gem really does to draw you into the azure colour that makes these gems so coveted.
The story of this neon-bright tourmaline’s discovery is as intriguing as the stone itself. Hidden for many years beneath hills in the north-eastern Brazilian state of Paraíba, and only discovered in the 1980s, within just a few decades it had become the world’s most prized tourmaline. Also known for coming from Mozambique too
What distinguishes the rarest Paraíba Tourmalines from the wide colour spectrum of tourmalines is their unmistakable, lucid glow – a wonderful peculiarity that is impossible to replicate or find in any other stone, anywhere in the world. This really does add to our rare gemstone jewellery.
