If you search on Amazon, Etsy, or Temu for 'paraiba', you will notice some interesting stuff come up.
What looks like huge paraibas for cheap prices.
These are actually doublets. They do have an incredible glow, somewhat like paraiba. [Not that I've ever seen a paraiba of this size in person.]
The 'doublet' part is pretty obvious though if you look from the side.
I believe I've seen imitation emeralds like this as well.
Overall, definitely worth it, especially in the <$50 range. I am not sure where I got this one from because it's been a few years; probably Aliexpress. These things are everywhere though like I said.
