Paraiba tourmaline is a variety of elbaite, which in turn belongs to the tourmaline group. Decisive for the differentiation from other tourmalines is the chemical composition of the mineral.

The Paraiba tourmaline in its beautiful neon blue color has hardly been found in this form for years. The original main mine has closed, only individual farmers are still searching for material.

It is therefore often necessary to fall back on old bearings. It is one of the really rare colored gemstones, whose prices have risen sharply recently.
