Why is the price of tourmaline soaring?

Talking about the tourmaline price is really amazing. The Paraiba Tourmaline is known as the king of the tourmaline. Its unique Turkish blue green makes it one of the most expensive gemstones in the world. At present, only the top collectors in the world have pas Layba, it is difficult to see the other side in circulation.

At the VIP Guest Jewellery Appreciation Conference in Hangzhou Tower, under the escort of dozens of special police, a Paraiba tourmaline with a value of 47 million yuan rushed over as a representative of colored gemstones and was promptly brought back to Shenzhen. .

This unique Turkish blue-green tourmaline is the legendary Paraiba. The owner of the owner of the “Royal Jewellery Club” said that Paraiba’s production is very rare, producing this Paraiba. The Brazilian mineral deposits have long since dried up. At present, apart from individual operators, there are Paraiba, and most of the precious stones are owned by collectors.

However, the appearance of Paraiba was quite low-key. Apart from the fact that senior collectors knew its value, ordinary guests did not understand this Paraiba and they were not as famous as diamonds.

For ordinary guests, diamonds are no rarity, and having a carat diamond is no longer a distant dream. It has even been emerald fired for years. So, after Jade, Baiyu, who will be the next crazy stone? It is Cixi’s favorite tourmaline, or the foreigner’s heart and soul. In the words of people in the industry, perhaps most people only see these colored gems “one-eighth on the ice”.

“The people who know about jade and white jade are getting more and more, but there are not many guests who consume colored stones.” The person in charge of Hangzhou Tower jewelry shop said that compared to diamonds and gold, the sale of colored stones is even negligible, but the emerald was originally It is also cultivated from such a state, so the future market is unknown.

Although most of the customers do not know much about Tourmaline, Cixi is its loyal supporter. In the "Love Moons and Notes" written by Li Eun-wu in the late Qing Dynasty, the eunuch Li Xiewu recorded that the Empress Dowager Cixi loved Bi Xi, and after his death, he was an ankle-footed lotus flower. He weighed 38,28 money and was valued at 75. "Two thousand two", gold silk brocade is also inlaid with many tourmalines, and more brazilian jewels have been added to the pipa, such as the red tourmaline, the red tourmaline bracelet, the purple tourmaline bracelet, the red tourmaline rosary, the gold inlay red tourmaline orthodox, Green jade inlaid with red tourmaline, lotus flower, and red tourmaline green jade weared beaded chrysanthemum, etc., which shows that Cixi loves tourmaline.

Cixi's favorite tourmaline, Hangzhou people like it?

At the VIP Jewellery Appreciation Meeting of Hangzhou Tower, several collectors expressed strong interest in Tourmaline. They even intended to purchase special colored gemstones from the commissioned merchants. It would be best to find “100-200 carats of tourmaline bare stone”. . “Hangzhou guests have a high quality guest group and some guests have a deep understanding of tourmaline, so they will propose to buy 'uncovered stones',” said the person in charge of the jewelry appreciation society.

Since the end of last year, tourmaline has risen by at least 50%. In the first half of the year, some guests found that “the price of tourmaline was rising in a straight line.” From the perspective of the purchase of original stone, from the end of last year to the current nine months, the tourmaline is generally good It increased by 50%-60%, while the good quality tourmaline prices rose by as much as 80%.

“Before 9 months ago, the quality of the tourmaline, with its clean texture and beautiful colors, was between 1800 yuan and 2,000 yuan per carat, and it is now more than 3,000 yuan per carat,” said the person in charge of the arts and jewelry. The Royal Jewels had a tourmaline with more than 30 carats at the end of last year. At that time, there were guests willing to pay 4,000 yuan/carat, but the seller did not sell it. After the finished product was finished, the unit price was around 7,000 yuan/carat. Now.

"If you want to say who will be the next crazy stone after Baiyu and Jade, it is very possible that tourmaline is." The industry commented that because of the depletion of the deposit, the quality of the tourmaline has become less and less. In March, it also experienced a landslide, which led to the stagnation of the operation of the mining company and the temporary suspension of the supply of raw materials. On the other hand, various sources of funds have begun to stir up speculation, especially since the domestic market for tourmaline has gradually matured, and mine owners in Thailand, Brazil and other places are aware of the increase in demand for Chinese tourmaline and have started to increase the prices in the international procurement market. Therefore, Some people predict that the price of tourmaline up by 50% in the last 9 months may be just the beginning of a stir.
