Copper content creates the neon glow. Standard tourmalines contain iron and manganese, which produce softer pinks, greens, and blues. Paraiba's copper-manganese chemistry generates an electric saturation found in no other gem variety.
Yes. Gems from Mozambique and Nigeria contain the same copper-bearing composition as Brazilian stones. The gem trade recognizes all copper-bearing tourmalines with Paraiba-type coloration under the Paraiba name, regardless of geographic origin.
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam, which can stress included stones. Store pieces separately to prevent scratches from harder gems like sapphire or diamond.
