Why This Gemstone Commands Attention

In the world of Paraiba, size is everything. Finding a stone of nearly 2 carats is a significant event, as most copper-bearing tourmalines are found in much smaller fragments. While the clarity is moderate, this is common for high-carat Paraibas; the internal “gardens” or inclusions are a testament to its natural origin and the complex geological environment required to create copper-infused colors.

The Green hue of this Mozambique specimen is vivid and “electric,” maintaining its glow even in dim lighting—a hallmark of the “neon” Paraiba effect. Its ensures the color is rich and saturated throughout the stone.

Investor Insight: As we move through 2026, large Paraiba specimens over 1.5 carats are becoming increasingly difficult to source. This stone offers the rare “big look” desired for high-jewelry commissions at a price point that reflects its natural character.
