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.

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.

Burma Ruby
While rubies are rare stones, those found in Myanmar (formerly Burma) are rare and exhibit exceptional qualities.
