Paraiba Tourmaline was originally mined in the State of Paraiba, Brazil. The beautiful and unique blue-green color is caused by trace elements of Copper within the crystal. This particular gem is called a "doublet", meaning that it is composed of two layers of gem material that enhance the color even more. The top layer is Paraiba while the second layer is gem silica.  Since we're using far less Paraiba in this 10mm round gemstone weighing 5 carats, we can offer it at significantly lower price.   Set in a Sterling Silver Pendant.
