How expensive is Paraiba Tourmaline?

碧玺之王,帕拉伊巴碧玺

In fact, from the day the gems were discovered, their prices have only risen and fallen. Paraiba Tourmaline made its debut at the Tussan Jewelry Show in 1989. It started selling for about $100-$200/carat. However, in the following week, the price soared nearly 10 times and rose to $2,000/carat. The ground has captured the attention of all jewellery investors. Today, high-quality Paraiba tourmaline prices can reach 20,000-50,000 US dollars / carat, and even higher, staggering.

Unique beauty, unforgettable

The history of Paraiba is very short, and it has only been around for 30 years, named after the 1989 production in Paraiba, Brazil. Paraiba is very special, with a rich, neon-like green-blue-blue color that is almost unique among all the gems and is very attractive. Someone once described its beauty. "With a glance, you will fall in love at first sight, as if you were struck by lightning, you can't look away." Paraiba is not only unique in color, glittering, but also has a unique "neon" The effect of "fluorescence" is that some people call their unique colors "Electric Light Blue" or "Neon Red Blue", which is also known as "The King of Tourmaline". Its distinctive and vibrant color is its label, even for jewelry amateurs, it can be recognized at a glance!

The extremely fascinating colours of Paraiba are derived from the special colouring elements inside. Unlike the color-forming elements of common tourmaline (iron, manganese, chromium, vanadium, etc.), Paraiba tourmaline has a mysterious copper element (Cu), which has never appeared in any tourmaline before, while Parayi Barne also contains manganese (Mn). This is what makes Paraiba Bibi unique, giving it a neon-like glow.

Exhausted resources, scarce production

Although Paraiba Tourmaline was first discovered in Paraiba, Brazil, with the mining of mineral resources, the current source of Brazil has almost exhausted and rarely appears on the market. At the beginning of the 21st century, Paraíba resources were discovered in Africa. Most of the Paraíba tourmalines on the market are from Nigeria and Mozambique in southeast Africa.

However, the quality of the gemstones in the three producing areas has its own characteristics. Brazil's native Paraíba is the most expensive, often with good quality, and its high color saturation has always been the most popular choice. Although the raw materials found in Africa are relatively clean and have large particles, their color is slightly paler than that of Brazil, and the color saturation is relatively low. Some of the ingredients produced in Mozambique can be beautifully rich in color, but it is hard to compare with the rich and extraordinary neon blue of Brazilian materials, but it is usually more beautiful than the colors of Nigeria.

Many people think that Paraiba is a blue, so as long as it is a blue tourmaline, it is considered Paraíba, which is wrong. Paraiba Bibi refers to those varieties that are colored by copper. The blue, blue-green, and green-blue appearances have a neon and electro-optic brilliance. Save; regularly clean the pt platinum ring every six months; avoid letting the pt ring contact with irritating chemicals such as bleach or perfume, although they do not harm platinum, but may discolor the diamond or gemstone.

It can be seen that Paraiba Tourmaline is not a typical cute and charming, it has many desires for women to want it, but also adds a touch of beautiful color to the gem world. The tourmaline has the reputation of a kaleidoscope of gemstones, which shows that it is not at all simple, Paraíbbi, unspeakable beauty.
