This GIA certified greenish blue Paraiba tourmaline from Mozambique weighs 2.13 carats and presents an oval shape measuring 8.99 x 7.02 x 5.09 mm. The gem is transparent, fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, and displays an excellent polish that maximizes light return. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, providing a clean appearance with minimal internal interruptions. Color intensity is medium light, and the stone has been heat treated as a disclosed enhancement. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this specimen with full documentation of its origin and treatment, ensuring accurate provenance and grading information.
In hue and tone the stone differs from classic Brazilian Paraiba tourmalines that are widely recognized for their electric neon blue green saturation driven by higher copper concentrations. Compared with those Brazilian examples this Mozambique piece reads as a softer greenish blue, with a medium light tone that emphasizes clarity and a pastel aquamarine leaning rather than the vivid intensity of the most saturated Brazilian material. Against well known aquamarine sources such as Santa Maria in Brazil, which typically produce pure blue to slightly greenish blue stones with a cooler, more uniformly blue tone, this Paraiba exhibits a discernible green component and a livelier internal scintillation owing to tourmaline s higher refractive index. The result is a color profile that sits between the intense neon Paraiba from Brazil and the cooler, more subdued aquamarine from Santa Maria, offering a distinct visual identity.
The combination of a 2.13 carat weight, balanced oval proportions, and mixed brilliant cutting makes the gem suitable for a variety of settings where light performance and color definition are priorities. Its medium light color intensity and very slightly included clarity allow for versatile mounting choices, from delicate solitaire designs to more structured halo settings that accentuate the stone s hue. As an item listed by The Natural Gemstone Company the gem is supplied with its GIA report and with transparent disclosure of heat treatment and Mozambican origin, supporting informed decisions by collectors and fine jewelry designers seeking a Paraiba tourmaline with a restrained, elegant greenish blue character.
