One of the most rare of the rare of tourmaline colors, this shocking neon blue color of tourmaline only came out of a few pockets in Afghanistan, and is as close to Paraiba blue from Brazil as you can get. The saturation and hue reminds me of the children's red-blue-white ice "bomb pop" popsicle bars from the old ice cream trucks (now, sadly, also available in supermarkets!). No repairs, complete all around, and the color speaks for itself here! 23 grams.
