Product Description for Min 5.75ct 14x10mm Emerald Cut Paraiba Tourmaline SimulantTourmaline was named after "turmali", the Sinhalese word for "mixed", probably because of the variety of colors it's found in and the fact that it can be bi-, tri- or parti-colored. Tourmaline ranks a tough 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs' scale of hardness. It is the national gemstone of the U.S. but is found all over the world, with colors varying depending on its origin. Indicolite is the name for the deep blue to greenish-blue variety, and rubellite is the pink-red color.

"The stone itself was very pretty but you could tell it was not even close to the "real deal". It was crystal clear and Paraiba should have some inclusions in it. This adds to it's linage. If you plan on having a cheap looking piece of jewelery made, then it might work. I have purchased a lot of jewerly from JTV and this is the only item that I will be returning."
