It is often said that women love diamonds. However, with time, traditions change and so do desires. So if you are planning to propose to your beloved, why not go for gemstones that are rarer than diamonds?
While gemstones like emeralds, sapphires, rubies and colored diamonds are expensive and come in various cuts and ranges — often flaunted by celebrities too — you will have to spend hard cash extravagantly to possess rare gems like Painite, jadeite, alexandrite, red beryl and black opal.
Remember when it was carried in the news that one Nigerian female ex-minister bought gems valued at millions of dollars. That's the extent women can go with gemstones, they love them so much.
Many organizations specializing in the study of gemology talk about rare gems at length — their look, cut, make, price, mineral composition and description.
However, the fact that some of these are more expensive and rarer to source or find than diamonds is what makes them difficult to understand, sometimes mysterious and therefore wanted.
Let us have a look at some of the rare gemstones:
Painite:
Painite was named after a British mineralogist, Arthur CD Pain. He was the first to discover it in the 1950s in Myanmar.
Often titled as the ‘rarest gemstone mineral’ by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2005, this gem is found in Myanmar.
International Gem Society (IGS) says, “The first painite specimen, a single crystal, was identified as a new gem species in 1957.
Until 2001, only two more crystals were found. Since then, more painites have been discovered. Over a thousand crystals and fragments have now been recovered, but most of this material isn’t facetable.”
The colour of this rare gem varies from brown to red, giving it a bright lustra, which makes it even more attractive.
Painite costs somewhere between USD 50,000 to 60,000 per carat but is difficult to find in the market. The largest painite weighs around 213.52 carats and belongs to the Medici Collection LLC, Los Angeles, US.
It is owned by Dion and his family, as stated by the Indian Institute of Gems and Jewelry (IIGJ).
According to people involved in the issues of spirituality, Painite is a remarkable crystal that can be used as a chakra opener; it works almost immediately. It has been suggested that Painite is also helpful for relieving pain on the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Please this is for informational purposes only as it has not been verified.
It is a common knowledge that some gemstones abundantly grow throughout the world, even diamonds and sapphires.
On the opposite side of the spectrum are the rarest gemstones in the world.
Gemrockauctions says that there are less than 25 painite gemstones in the world. This shows how rare this gemstone is.
The largest painite weighs 213.52 carats (42.70 g), and is owned by Medici Collection, LLC (USA) as verified on 9 March 2020.
Dion and his family have been avid collectors of rare gemstones for many years and have amassed large collections of gemstones and other minerals.
How can you tell if the rare gem you have is painite?
How do you Identify Painite? Painite is red, orange red, brownish red or brown in color. It has a white streak, transparent appearance and vitreous luster. It can be formed as hexagonal or prismatic crystals.
Why is painite so valuable?
Painite's extreme rarity is due to it containing the chemical elements zirconium and boron, which do not normally associate with each other in nature and don't occur together in any other mineral.
