They may not be a woman´s best friends, but they surely are glorious. Or you can have one as big as this on your shelf, for $1 million - just to show it off to your friends. And guess where it was found? In Brazil....Brazil is one of the major countries that produce precious gems and minerals. For centuries, Brazil has been known for rich deposits of gold, diamonds, and other variety of gems including aquamarine, amethyst, chrysoberyl, citrine, emerald, opal, tourmaline, and topaz (especially imperial topaz).
Paraiba tourmaline (named after the state of Paraíba) is one of the most sought-after and most expensive gemstones in the world. Since its discovery, prices continue to climb, and have reached a surprisingly high level. Prices per carat for fine, large stones from Paraiba can reach an astounding five figures.
