The natural gems in the world can be described as one of the works of nature, rare and precious, beautiful and stunning. For everyone, the most rare diamond is “a forever” diamond. In fact, there are some gems in the world that are rarer and more precious than diamonds.
They are scattered in all corners of the world. Not only are they rare in number, and they are extremely expensive and difficult to mine, but their unique color and luster still fascinate gem lovers around the world. Let’s follow Xiaonan to get to know these rare and niche high-value gems.

Red diamonds
Ordinary diamonds are all too common for these rare gems. But there is also a rare treasure among diamonds, which is the red diamond. Red diamonds are the rarest of fancy colored diamonds. AEGYLE MINE in Australia produces a small amount of red diamonds. The Moussaieff Red is the largest red diamond in the world. It was discovered by a farmer in Brazil in 1960. It has a triangular shape and weighs 5.11 carats.

Although the weight of this diamond is insignificant compared to other diamonds, it is the number one large diamond among red diamonds, and its value is far greater than its weight. A 95-point round red diamond sold at Christie’s Hong Kong in April 1987 in New York sold for as high as $880,000, or $920,000 per carat. For a diamond of less than one carat to have such an amazing price, it can be said that it is a well-deserved number one.

Benitoite
When the blue cone ore was discovered in 1906, it was once mistaken for sapphire. At present, the only source of blue cone ore is St. Bailey County, California, USA. Although samples of blue cone ore have also been found in Arkansas and Japan, it is difficult to cut them into gemstones.

Azurite is pale blue or colorless, and has been recorded as a pink gemstone; however, the most special feature of Azurite is its dazzling blue fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light. Azurite has a high index of refraction, moderate birefringence and strong dispersion, and the cut azurite shines brighter than diamond.
Azurite is the most abundant of these rare gems, but it is still rarer than most.
