Rarest Gemstones

Tanzanite

Tanzanite is one of the rarest blue- and purple-colored gemstones as it is found only in Tanzania, that too in a very small mining area of 7 km near Mererani Hills. It is a composition of the epidote mineral group composed of calcium aluminum hydroxyl sorosilicate with small amounts of vanadium. Tanzanite was first called "Blue Zoisite", later renamed "Tanzanite" by Tiffany & Co. to reflect the gem's rarity and single location. Tanzanite gemstone is one of the birthstones for December.

Found in a very limited area of Tanzania, this violet-blue stone is one of the rarest stones with intense reflection and can give even tough competition to sapphire. The stone exhibits polychromy and so can appear purple, blue, greenish-yellow, or even brown depending on the angle from which you look at it.

Burma Ruby

While rubies are rare stones, those found in Myanmar (formerly Burma) are rare and exhibit exceptional qualities. While rubies from Thailand have high iron content, rubies from Myanmar have very low iron content. It is based on geographical locations. Therefore the Burma Ruby does not transmit fluorescence like any other ruby stone with a more vibrant red color.

Jadeite

Jadeite is most commonly known for its bright electric green color, but it also comes in many other colors such as orange-red, blue, lavender, yellow, and black. Some jadeite is also colorless, making it a stone with many facets. The value of this stone depends on its transparency and texture. The best quality jadeite will look like an oil drop or water drop. This unique form makes it a rare gem.

Alexandrite
