Paraiba tourmaline is one of the most coveted gemstones in the world due to its extraordinary neon-like hues of blue and green, caused by traces of copper and manganese.

Found originally in the Brazilian state of Paraíba, similar deposits have been found in Mozambique and Nigeria, though Brazilian stones remain the most sought-after.
