About Paraiba Tourmaline – The Neon Treasure

Paraiba Tourmaline belongs to the elbaite subgroup of the tourmaline family and is distinguished by the presence of copper and manganese, which give it its signature electric blue and green colors. Unlike other tourmalines, Paraiba’s intense fluorescence under natural light sets it apart, creating a visual spectacle that’s both rare and enchanting.

Its Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5 makes Paraiba Tourmaline durable enough for everyday wear while retaining a dazzling sparkle. Its colors range from intense electric blues to bright neon greens, often with a glowing inner light effect that makes the stone appear almost otherworldly.

Origin of Paraiba Tourmaline – Where Does It Come From?

Paraiba Tourmaline was first discovered in the late 1980s in the copper-rich mines of Paraiba, Brazil. Since then, similar deposits have been found in:

  • Brazil (Paraiba State): The original and most celebrated source, producing the most vivid and sought-after specimens.
  • Mozambique: Known for Paraiba-like tourmalines with similar copper content but often slightly less intense fluorescence.
  • Nigeria: Also produces electric blue-green tourmalines that resemble the Brazilian variety but differ slightly in tone and brightness.

At ShivRaj Ratna, we prioritize sourcing from Brazilian mines due to their superior quality and authentic Paraiba characteristics, while also offering exquisite stones from Mozambique and Nigeria.
