    Paraiba Tourmaline is mined in Brazil in the region for which it is
    named, not Nigeria. It tends to have a "neon" quality to it's color
    and is unmistakable. If you market them as genuine Paraiba, you will
    be doing the trade a huge disservice and setting yourself up for
    possible legal action.
