In 1981, the gem miner Heitor Dimas Barbosa (commonly known among the local villagers as “Heitor the Fool”) began tunneling in the hill behind São José de Batalha, Paraíba, Brazil. Led by an internal belief, Barbosa was sure he would find gems of ethereal beauty. Despite having no electricity or dependable water, Barbosa persevered, and in 1987, his efforts were rewarded by the discovery of the first Brazilian Paraiba. It is thanks to their rare chemical composition that these gems owe their spectacular coloring and oceanic-bright glow that appears to light the stone from within—a stunning effect, unlike any other gem. Soon after their discovery, production began to dwindle; over 90% of the tourmaline production occurred between 1989 and 1992.
Considering its size, place of origin and untreated coloration, this Paraiba tourmaline is a singular beauty. The gemstone is carefully complemented by a framing circle of pink diamonds and white diamonds totaling 7.00 carats. Set in 18K rose gold and white gold.
