This is a truly breathtaking Paraiba Tourmaline crystal from the renowned Batalha Mine in São José da Batalha, Salgadinho, Paraíba, Brazil, a locality famous for producing extraordinary specimens. Paraiba Tourmaline is highly sought after for its rare, almost indescribable blue color. This specimen features an impressive 21 cm crystal embedded in a matrix of white quartz, creating a striking contrast. The color is a richly saturated light blue with sections of violet, highlighting its remarkable quality and size. Though one repair is at the top, the overall size, quality, and aesthetic are stunning. This is the finest specimen we have seen in color and quality, and it is even more impressive in person.
