0.38 Ct. Paraiba Tourmaline from Brazil

This exquisite natural Paraiba tourmaline from Brazil is a rare opportunity for the collector who seeks something truly singular, a transparent 0.38 carat specimen, expertly fashioned into a trillion cut and measuring 5.04 by 5.09 by 2.63 millimeters. Its vivid electric neon greenish blue color commands attention, while an excellent polish brings a lively brilliance to each facet. Clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which speaks to an authentic natural character that gives each stone a unique personality. This gem has been enhanced with oil and resin, a traditional treatment that stabilizes and enriches its appearance, and The Natural Gemstone Company offers this piece as part of a limited selection of handpicked Paraiba tourmalines, an opportunity to own something few others can claim.

When compared to lab grown alternatives, this Brazilian Paraiba carries advantages that transcend mere color replication. Natural stones are formed over geological time, often carrying delicate inclusions and growth features that act like a fingerprint, confirming provenance and telling a story no laboratory can reproduce. The neon tone in this tourmaline is the result of trace elements present in its natural source, a chemistry and origin that contribute to rarity and enduring desirability. Lab grown stones may mimic hue and clarity, but they do not offer the same provenance, natural rarity, or potential for appreciation that collectors prize. By choosing this Paraiba from The Natural Gemstone Company, you are joining a select group who value authenticity, history, and the subtle individuality of a natural gem, a stone that is ready to be set into a bespoke piece and passed down as an heirloom.
