Paraiba Tourmaline owing to the rarity of these precious stones, they are super expensive. Of course, you may get any other type of tourmaline at a lesser price, but the Paraiba tourmaline price is an indication of its extreme rarity. Apart from the usual blue, you'll also find the Paraiba tourmaline in different shades such as green, bluish green, greenish blue, and violet.
Each of these are priceless, but the most sought after by gemstone enthusiasts are the blue ones from Brazil. This is because they have a higher color saturation, feature attractive hues, and, most importantly, are super rare. The price of the Paraiba tourmaline is not influenced by its size. Rather it depends on the origin, brightness, vividity, and inclination of the stone towards the blue shade.
The rarity of the stone is another factor that influences its price. High-quality tourmalines free from inclusions are super rare and come at a very high price. The Paraiba tourmalines with inclusions cost relatively less, as the inclusions are visible in the form of thread-like tubes running through the gemstone. The rarity of Paraiba tourmaline is also attributed to the difficulty in mining it. The usage of dynamite can damage these delicate crystals, which is why most Paraiba deposits are sought after manually with the help of hand-held tools.
