Mozambique Tourmaline
Mozambique is a major modern source of copper-bearing "Paraíba-type" tourmaline, discovered in the 2000s and now supplying most of the neon blue-green material on the market today.
Mozambique tourmaline shares the same copper-bearing chemistry that defines the Paraíba category, often at more accessible prices than confirmed Brazilian-origin stones. It has become the primary supply source keeping Paraíba-type tourmaline available to a wider range of buyers.
