0.78 Ct. Paraiba Tourmaline from Mozambique

There is a quiet poem held within a single stone, a whisper of ocean and moonlight, and this 0.78 carat oval blue Paraiba tourmaline sings that poem in a voice of electric calm. Transparent and tender, this gem measures 6.67 by 5.34 by 3.12 millimeters, an oval shape cut in a mixed brilliant style that captures both depth and dazzle. Its clarity grade is included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to natural character that tells the story of formation deep in the earth, and its color presents as a medium light intensity that shimmers with gentle vitality. The polish is excellent, the facets sing with a glassy clarity, and perhaps most precious of all, there has been no enhancement. Born in Mozambique, this Paraiba tourmaline arrives at The Natural Gemstone Company as an unaltered fragment of the world, ready to be set into a memory that will last a lifetime.

Imagine light sliding across the facets like a breeze across a quiet lagoon. Paraiba tourmaline is not merely blue, it is a rare infusion of copper and manganese that creates a neon undertow, a luminous pulse that feels alive beneath the surface. In comparison to more common gems, its voice is unique. Diamond will flash with white brilliance and intense scintillation, each facet shouting with fire and life, while sapphire will answer with saturated royal blue depth that feels steady and noble. Aquamarine will recall clear sea air with a cool, tranquil wash of color, and emerald will glow with botanical richness. This Paraiba does something different, it combines the playful sparkle of a well cut stone with a vivid internal glow, a soft electric blue that seems to light itself from within. The mixed brilliant cut and the excellent polish coax maximum return from this gentle luminescence, so that under candlelight or sunlight the gem throws a delicate, almost otherworldly radiance that draws the eye and tends to hold it.

The inclusions, visible at eye level, are not flaws in the emotional sense, they are fingerprints of time and place, delicate veils that scatter light into tiny rainbows and lend an organic, living quality to the stone. These internal features can give the Paraiba the feeling of a secret landscape, a tiny coastal inlet mapped across facets, where each line and bubble becomes a shoreline or a wave. The medium light color intensity means the hue is not overpowering, it will sit beautifully against the skin in a ring or pendant, offering a quiet glow that complements rather than competes. With dimensions of 6.67 by 5.34 by 3.12 millimeters it makes a graceful center for a slender engagement ring or an intimate pendant. Set in warm rose gold the blue will whisper of tropical dawns, set in cool platinum it will sing like seawater under a full moon. The fact that this gem comes from Mozambique adds a layer of romance and rarity, these Paraiba tourmalines are treasured for their scarce origins, and the provenance we provide at The Natural Gemstone Company ensures that the story accompanying your jewel is as true as the light within it.

Choosing this blue Paraiba tourmaline is to choose something that stands apart from the ordinary, a jewel that offers both personality and poetry. Where more common gemstones may offer familiarity, this stone offers an encounter, a small revelation each time it catches the light. It is ideal for a piece meant to mark a turning point, an engagement, an anniversary, a promise kept and honored. Its natural, unenhanced state means you carry something unedited and honest, its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish mean it will engage with light in ways that feel intentionally crafted, and its included clarity makes it human and storied. At The Natural Gemstone Company we embrace both the science and the sentiment of gemstones, and this Paraiba tourmaline is a beautiful example of how nature and craftsmanship can meet. If you are seeking a gem that is at once rare, poetic, and wearable, this small luminous oval invites you to begin a new chapter, to set its soft neon blue into a design that will become part of your life story.
