The Paraiba Tourmaline is the rarest of all Tourmalines with many examples selling for tens of thousands per carat. First discovered in 1988 in Paraiba, Brazil the Paraiba Tourmaline was immediately highly sought after due to the intense coloring due to copper, manganese and bismuth eventually selling for over $20,000 per carat.
