Expert notes:
The paraiba is a recent find in the history of gemology. It was discovered in the middle of the 1980s in the Paraiba state of Brazil, hence the name. From the rarest blue seen in a stone until now, the deposit exhausts itself quite rapidly. The main production today is in Mozambique. Paraiba tourmalines of Brazil remain however the most sought-after stones. The one we are presenting to you today not only derives from this desired origin, but also from an intense saturated blue that is even more rare. This gem ticks all the boxes of a precious gemstones collection.
