Top 10 Rarest Gemstones On The Planet
Share
TweetGemstones have always been valued by people and we usualy think of precious stones like diamonds, emeralds and rubies as the most valuable gemstones in the world. However, there are some gemstones most of us haven't even seen yet, they are rare and hard to find. Let's check some of them out!
Tanzanite
Tanzanite is found only in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, Northern Tanzania. This blue stone is a highly prized color-shifting gem. Yet, Tanzanite may be mined out within 20-30 years. It will doubtless become even more desirable...and valuable.
Taaffeite
Taaffeite is named after Australian gemologist Richard Taaffe, who discovered a cut and polished specimen of the stone in 1945. Only a few of of these precious stones have ever been found. These stones are found in range of hues ranging from nearly colorless to lavender, mauve and violet. Taaffeite occurs in Sri Lanka and Tanzania.
