A Once-in-a-Lifetime Gem: The 37.34-Carat Brazilian Paraíba Tourmaline
Have you ever encountered something so extraordinary that it made you pause? That’s exactly how I felt when I read about this remarkable 37.34-carat Brazilian Paraíba tourmaline—naturally neon blue, unheated, and sourced from the legendary Batalha mine. This gemstone isn’t just rare—it borders on the mythical. Bill Rau, the third-generation owner of M.S. Rau who acquired the gem, put it perfectly: “It’s not just rare, it’s irreplaceable; stones like this simply don’t exist anymore.”
Set in platinum and rose gold, accented by pink and white diamonds, and priced just under $10 million, this pendant is more than a display of luxury—it represents the pinnacle of nature’s artistry, captured through bespoke craftsmanship.
At D'Errico Jewelry, we have worked with rare and exceptional gemstones long before Paraíba tourmalines became widely recognized. These gems—rich in copper and renowned for their luminous color—are among the most extraordinary in the world. If you’re looking for a piece that makes a statement, carries a unique history, and may never be replicated, you’re in the right place. Because just like this gem, your next piece should be truly one of a kind.
