I was not sold this gem as Paraiba and so will not auction it as such. However having dealt with paraiba tourmaline for some time, the colour and class is indistinguishable to the naked eye. This tourmaline comes from Brazil which is the major recognised source of Paraiba tourmaline. Paraiba Tourmaline has been called the second most valuable gem on earth (Bixbite - Red Emerald is the most valuable). Paraiba Tourmaline way out prices Tanzanites, Rubies and Sapphires.
Under 10 x magnification it is beautifully cut/polished and the colour and luster is AAA+++. It is classed as VVS1 with no damage to the facet faces or edges. I have appraised this gem for On-Line shops at R2,700 (More retail!) You can check this out at an on - line gem evalation site called gemval.com
