“Varadero” Paraiba Tourmaline 4.30 cts
190146Product Details
The prestigious and most coveted name Paraiba is reserved strictly for crystals with copper in their chemical composition, while it is perfectly fine to call Paraiba a Tourmaline from Mozambique. By the way, a copper-bearing Elbaite Tourmaline from the original mine from Brazil is still the most valued of all Paraiba stones. Mozambique Paraiba is better available and tends to be cleaner though. No matter the size, clarity or origin, choose your most exotic Paraiba by the color. Close your eyes, imagine a moment of heaven, think paradise... say Paraiba.
