A rare and vivid Neon Paraiba Tourmaline (copper-bearing cuprian elbaite) weighing 2.83 carats, fashioned in an exceptional Portuguese round cut designed to maximize brilliance and fire. This remarkable gemstone displays an intense neon blue-green color with the unmistakable electric glow that has made fine Paraiba Tourmalines among the world's most sought-after colored gemstones.
Sourced from a mine owner's private collection in Mozambique and acquired during a 2007 liquidation, this gemstone has remained carefully preserved in our private collection for nearly two decades. Opportunities to acquire material with this combination of provenance, size, color, and visual performance have become increasingly uncommon.
The gemstone exhibits exceptional brightness and strong neon flashes across a variety of lighting conditions. Its vibrant blue-green color appears illuminated from within, a characteristic highly prized among collectors of fine Paraiba Tourmaline.
As a copper-bearing Mozambique Paraiba exceeding two carats, this gemstone represents a rare category of collector gemstone that has become increasingly difficult to source. The stone is currently being submitted for GIA certification.
