Paraiba tourmaline

No other gemstone has made such an impression in the gemstone market in recent years as the Paraiba tourmaline. This material is named after the Brazilian state of Paraiba, where it was first found in 1987.

Its extraordinarily bright blue, turquoise to green color is not found in any other wearable gemstone. The hue is often referred to as "electric" or "neon" and is reminiscent of a beautiful, azure tropical sea.

When properly cut, this gemstone is literally stunning. The paraiba tourmaline seems to glow on its own, even when there is little ambient light. It owes its impressive color intensity to traces of copper and manganese, which have not been found in any other tourmaline before. That alone makes the stone a geological rarity.

These properties are the reason why the paraiba tourmaline is one of the most expensive and sought after gemstones in the world. Its carat price can be well above that of flawless, perfect diamonds if the colors and clarity are excellent. As a rule, the best colors are obtained by slightly heating the stone, which removes secondary shades of purple and green.

Unfortunately, this mineral is extremely rare. Brazil's deposits have been considered depleted for years and no significant mining is currently taking place. The African mining areas in Nigeria or Mozambique, which were only developed later (around 2000), have already been largely exploited.

Indicoliet 

The name of this blue tourmaline comes from Sinhala and means "blue stone". Indicolite owes its beautiful color to traces of iron. Blue tourmalines are most valuable when they display an intense, clear, radiant blue and are not too dark. Pure blue indicolites are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors. Location also plays a role. Some sites produce much better than average material. The best stones come from Brazil and Namibia. Unfortunately, blue tourmalines that are sometimes more green than blue are sold as indicolites. Indicolite should not be confused with Paraiba tourmaline which can also be blue. Paraiba tourmaline has a much lighter shade that has traces of copper and manganese as a color cause. 

When looking at indicolites, the lighting conditions are also important in this context. The color of this tourmaline is best assessed in neutral daylight. Under the light of lamps, the same stone often has a darker shade. 

Indicolites are usually transparent and stones over 5 carats with a clear color are precious. Larger stones absorb so much light that they become very dark and unattractive. Blue tourmalines come from Brazil, Namibia, Madagascar, Congo and Nigeria. 

High quality indicolites are highly sought after collectible stones and are ideal for all types of jewelry. Top quality indicolites are also an excellent investment.

Sapphire

Ruby and sapphire are both color variants of the mineral corundum. While red corundum is known as ruby, all other colors of corundum are called sapphire. Traces of elements such as vanadium, iron, chromium and titanium are responsible for the wide color palette that characterizes sapphire.

Sapphire is derived from the Greek word "sappheiros" meaning "blue stone" and comes in the colors blue and pink. The most expensive and most sought after colors are royal blue, padparadscha (light pink/orange) and cornflower blue. Sapphire should not be too light on the one hand, but also not too dark on the other. Blue sapphires look best in daylight, but almost always show the pure blue in different types of artificial light.

In certain cases, small inclusions can give some blue sapphires a velvety appearance, further enhancing the beauty and value of these stones. For example, the deposits discovered in Kashmir around 1880 produced beautiful rare blue sapphires. Around 1930 these mines were largely exhausted. The padparadscha sapphire is as popular and rare as the Kashmir sapphire. This sapphire color should simultaneously combine 40 to 60 percent pink and 40 to 60 percent orange tones. Such untreated natural sapphires reach record prices with collectors.

Unfortunately, they are often confused with inferior padparadscha sapphires that have obtained this color through heating and chemical additions.

There are also green, yellow, orange and bright neon pink or purple colored sapphires, which are also more expensive. Current mining areas are in Sri Lanka, Australia, Cambodia, Kenya, Laos, Madagascar, Nigeria, Tanzania and Vietnam.

In summary, it can be said that sapphires are among the best known, most sought after and most expensive colored gemstones in the world. A timeless gemstone with a high potential for appreciation.
