In the late 1980s Brazilian miners in the state of Paraiba, Brazil discovered a unique and brightly colored variety of tourmaline. This new tourmaline, which soon became known as Paraiba tourmaline, came in vivid and bright blues and greens. The beauty and neon glow of Paraiba tourmalines captivated the attention of the gemstone world from the very beginning. Today Paraiba tourmalines are among the most desirable and most expensive gemstones in the world.
The Paraiba colors are often described as "neon" since they appeared to glow. It was discovered that the element copper was important in the coloration of Paraiba tourmaline, resulting in the description of this variety as Cuprian, which refers to copper-bearing.
Recently a discovery in Mozambique, Africa has produced tourmaline which is beautifully colored by copper. The tourmaline produced in Mozambique is not readily distinguished from Paraiba tourmaline from Brazil. The Paraiba tourmaline gemstones from Mozambique are quite often found to be less included and found in larger sizes than the Brazilian variety.
