This beautiful stone, which is thought to be the biggest "top-quality" Paraiba tourmaline ever to be sold at auction, will captivate jewelry lovers and fans from all over the world.

Sotheby's thinks this one-of-a-kind masterpiece will fetch a high price at auction, between $1.3 million and $2.5 million.
The necklace, which is appropriately called "The Blue Lagoon," has over 76 carats of round, marquise, and pear-shaped diamondsthat fall in a beautiful waterfall. It is important to note that the original sketch of this mesmerizing piece will also be part of the gift. This will give you a unique look into the artist's mind that went into making it.
Since they were first found in Mozambique in the 1980s, Paraiba tourmalines have become some of the most sought-after gems in the world, often getting prices higher than the most expensive sapphires, rubies, and emeralds. One thing that makes high-quality Paraiba tourmalines stand out is their amazing electric blue color, which is often joined by small sizes and major flaws inside. But "The Blue Lagoon" is a one-of-a-kind specimen. It is an amazing size, the clarity is perfect, and the color is a beautiful blue that makes you think of a tropical paradise, and it was not treated with heat.
This amazing gem is "an extraordinary electric blue hue," which Sotheby's says makes them think of "crystalline waters of a tropical paradise," This sale is really special because it's very hard to find Paraiba tourmalines that are this big, have such bright colors, and don't have any flaws.
