My Journey with Paraiba Tourmaline
As a jewelry designer, I've fallen in love with a gemstone that's unlike any other. Paraiba tourmaline isn't just a stone – it's a breathtaking experience. Its electric blue-green hues capture the essence of the ocean and sky, creating a color so vibrant it seems almost impossible.
The Incredible Story Behind Paraiba Tourmaline
In the late 1980s, Brazilian miner Heitor Barbosa made a discovery that would change the gem world forever. After years of searching, he unearthed a stone with an unprecedented neon-like color. What makes it truly special? Its extraordinary rarity.
Consider this: for every 10,000 diamonds mined, only one Paraiba tourmaline is discovered. The stone's signature color comes from traces of copper, creating a luminescence that's impossible to replicate.
