Yes. Paraiba tourmaline belongs to the elbaite species of the tourmaline mineral group. Its copper content distinguishes it from other tourmaline varieties and produces the neon blue-green color.
Paraiba tourmaline rates 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. This makes it durable enough for ring wear, though you should avoid hard impacts and store it separately from harder stones.
The original 1989 discovery occurred in Paraiba, Brazil. Additional deposits were found in Nigeria around 2001 and Mozambique around 2005. All three sources produce copper-bearing tourmalines that qualify as Paraiba.
