With the popularity of colored gems, the tourmaline behind the scenes has already stepped onto the "table". The king of the tourmaline, Paraiba, appeared in the jewellery exhibitions and auctions in a proud manner. In May 2014, in the spring auction of Guangzhou Huayi International Auction Co., Ltd., a 11.50-carat oval natural ParaÃba tourmaline was sold for 2.07 million yuan. Recently, some media have exposed the "King of the Tourmaline" Paraiba has been hundreds of times worth more than 20 years. However, is there any false high in the rapid rise of the price of tourmaline? Is there any suspicion of speculation?

According to legend, in 1500, a Portuguese exploration team discovered a gem in Brazil, shining with colorful neon light, like a rainbow from the sky directly to the center of the earth, was polished and crystal clear. This gem hidden in the foot of the rainbow is the tourmaline.
As a kind of colored gemstone, tourmaline is not as noble as the ruby, sapphire, emerald, gold emerald cat's eye and the high-end collectors. It is a mid-range gemstone, also known as a semi-precious stone, which is more popular in the market, such as tanzanite, aquamarine and morganite.
In fact, the tourmaline, known as the "Hidden Rainbow", carries a deep historical gene. Cixi is one of the supporters of the tourmaline. According to the historical records of the Forbidden City, from the 1900s to the end of the year of Cixi, the court office purchased several tons of tourmaline from San Diego. Li Lianying's "Liu Yuexuan Notes" by Li Chengying describes the case of Cixi's funerary objects. One of the lotuses carved from tourmaline weighs 1056.25 grams and is worth about 750,000 two silver. In addition, the merciful gold silk quilt is also inlaid with many precious tourmalines. Now, when you visit the Palace Museum in Beijing, you can still see many ornaments made with tourmalines during the Qing Dynasty.
Among the tourmalines, the highest value is not the "King of the Tourmaline" Paraibamo. The interior of the Paraiba tourmaline contains a copper element that presents a natural and vivid blue-green color that glows in neon-like color even in natural or light-free environments. Recently, some media said that the king of the tourmaline, ParaÃba, rose to 300,000 per carat in 20 years. For the accuracy of this figure, the chief gemologist Yu Zhiyi did not express his own opinion. "The price of Paraiba Baxi is rising year by year, but there is no doubt about how much it is not good to predict. Because the market is very big. The variable. Even the Paraiba tourmaline is determined by quality, origin, grade, cut size, size, etc."
At present, the popular tourmaline varieties in the market mainly include red tourmaline, green tourmaline, two-color tourmaline, watermelon tourmaline, and blue tourmaline. Yu Zhi did not say that the good appearance of the tourmaline is large, bright and pure, and because of the moderate price, it is an excellent substitute for other high-grade gemstones (red sapphires and emeralds, etc.). From a collection point of view, collectors prefer ParaÃba tourmaline, chrome green tourmaline, etc., because they are rare, so precious.
“The color of the tourmaline is very rich, which makes it fill the gap of colored gemstones.†In 2010, the Lanruo Club was officially established and opened the Lanrubi Pavilion. Founder Lan Huiming is a collector of tourmalines. He focuses on the collection, development and sales of colored gems such as tourmalines, emeralds and garnets.
In the process of dealing with the tourmaline for many years, Lan Huiming discovered that before 2008, domestic buyers paid little attention to tourmaline, but now, it has reversed. Almost every commercial cabinet and major jewellery market has a tourmaline for sale. Lan Huiming has a friend who is doing jewelry business in Pakistan. Before that, Tourmaline was only a sideline of this friend, but now, 80% of his energy is on the sale of tourmaline. It can be seen that the audience of the tourmaline is expanding.
