10.21ct Pear Shape Paraiba Tourmaline from Mozambique

A rare statement in color and clarity, this 10.21 carat pear shape Paraiba tourmaline captures attention with its intense blue-green hue and glowing luminosity. Sourced from Mozambique—a renowned origin for high-quality Paraiba tourmalines—this gemstone is anything but ordinary. Cut in a buff top pear shape, its smooth, domed surface adds dimension and depth while showcasing the vibrant inner life of the tourmaline. The gem measures 18.53mm x 11.13mm x 8.83mm, making it ideal for a one-of-a-kind pendant or custom ring that demands to be seen.

What makes a Paraiba tourmaline different? It’s the trace presence of copper that gives these gems their vivid neon blues and greens—an electric saturation unmatched by any other tourmaline variety. Tourmaline Paraiba stones are beloved for their unmistakable glow and are some of the most sought-after colored gemstones in fine jewelry today. This particular gem has been heat treated, a standard enhancement that helps bring out its full brilliance while maintaining structural integrity.

From a design perspective, the elongated pear shape offers versatility. It can be set vertically for a dramatic drop pendant, oriented east-west for a modern statement ring, or used as a central focal point in a multi-stone necklace. With over 10 carats of concentrated color and clarity, this is a stone meant for someone who doesn’t do subtle.

Paraiba jewelry isn’t just beautiful—it’s collectible. Since Paraiba tourmalines were only discovered in the late 1980s, they’re still considered relatively “young” in the world of gemstones. That scarcity adds to their intrigue and value. Mozambique has become one of the most important sources of these radiant gems, producing stones that rival the Brazilian originals in both quality and color.
