Electric 1.15ct Blue Paraiba Tourmaline | 7.8mm Mozambique Oval Experience the rare, “swimming pool blue” glow of this 1.15-carat Paraiba Tourmaline. While many copper-bearing tourmalines lean toward green, this specimen showcases a highly coveted Blue primary hue. Originating from the prestigious mines of Mozambique, this gem captures the “electric” essence that has made Paraiba the most famous tourmaline variety in history. With a length of 7.8 mm, this stone offers the visual impact of a much larger gem, making it an ideal candidate for a centerpiece luxury ring. The “Electric Blue” Advantage In the hierarchy of Paraiba, true blue tones are often the most requested by designers and collectors alike. This 1.15ct stone possesses the rare ability to maintain its vivid saturation even in low-light environments—a phenomenon known as the “neon” effect. While the clarity is moderate, these natural internal characteristics are typical of the copper-rich environment where these stones form. When set in white gold or platinum, the “neon” blue of this Mozambique specimen becomes even more pronounced, creating a striking contrast that is impossible to ignore. Investment Note: Since the start of 2026, demand for “Blue” Paraiba has outpaced supply. Finding a stone over 1 carat with this level of color intensity is a significant addition to any high-end inventory.
