African Paraiba is believed to exist due to the continental drift theory. 200+ million years ago the earth's continents were joined together in one enormous super-continent called Pangaea. Compare the profile of western Africa and eastern South America; they fit together like pieces in a puzzle. This comparison suggests that they once belonged to a single landmass with similar geological conditions. The African tourmalines were created under the same conditions as the tourmalines from Paraiba, before the continents drifted apart. The African Paraiba color tourmaline is mined in alluvial deposits, the Brazilian Paraiba is mined underground.
