Three Brazilian Paraiba tourmalines, each offered individually. Every stone is filmed in natural daylight, unedited and unretouched, so the colour you see is the colour you receive.

Brazilian Paraiba

Paraiba from the original São José da Batalha deposit is, in practical terms, a closed supply. The mine has been effectively exhausted for over two decades, and what circulates today comes from private hands and old parcels. African material from Mozambique and Nigeria fills the market and carries the same trade name, but it is a different stone commercially, and prices reflect that.

The three stones below are Brazilian. Two are cut and already located in the United States. The third is rough, still at the mine, and has not yet been seen by the market. Each stone is sold separately. There is no requirement to take more than one.

A pear of this length carries the neon exceptionally well: the elongated outline lets light travel through the stone rather than bounce straight back, which is what produces the electric glow you see in the film. Documented Brazilian origin, already in the country, with no import step and no waiting.

Brazilian Paraiba above two carats is the point where the market stops being a market and becomes a waiting list. Most of the production from São José da Batalha came out under one carat. A clean 2.75 ct oval with this saturation is a stone dealers spend years looking for and rarely find. Comparable Brazilian stones of this size and colour are offered at US$ 100,000 and above at international gem fairs.

2.5 g Rough · to be cut as a Cushion

Secured directly at the mine · not yet seen by the market
EXCLUSIVE · UNCUT
Rough crystal, backlit to show colour and transparency

CertificationGIA report issued after cutting
AvailabilityReserved, single buyer

This is the stone that does not come up. It is being negotiated directly with the mine and will be held exclusively for this offer, which means the cut can be planned around the buyer rather than around the market. A cushion is the right call here: it preserves the most weight from the rough and gives the broad open table that Paraiba needs to show its colour. A finished Brazilian cushion in the seven to eight carat range is auction territory, not inventory.

How the final weight is settled. The price above is calculated on a conservative 7.00 ct yield. If the finished stone comes in above 7.00 ct, the price stays as quoted and the additional weight is yours at no extra cost. If it comes in below, the price is recalculated at the same rate per carat. The risk of the cut sits with us.
