Diamonds are Forever, But I’ll Swap Them for These Gems

Will diamonds lose their sparkle? Read on to find out.

What makes diamonds so valuable?

There are ‘4 C’s’ when assessing the value of a diamond.

The Carat, the clarity, the cut and the colour. Little did I know that there are some rare gemstones that make white diamonds lose their sparkle because of how precious they are.

The fire opal, is a mineraloid, it does not have a crystal structure. Opals can form in various colours, and it all has to do with the conditions that prevail during their formation.

The diffraction of light from the surface of the gemstone gives the opal its amazing colour spectrums, and amazing shimmering properties.

Valued at around $2300 per carat.

The next gemstone is a Canadian favourite, Poudretteite, discovered in Quebec. The Poudrette family discovered this gem. The gemstone looks like pink ice, or frosty pink ice, so beautiful and pastel. Now isn’t that beautiful eh?

Valued at around $3,000 per carat.

This one is probably my favourite because of the magnificent blue colour. This gem is called Benitoite. Found in San Benito County, California. As beautiful, as the county where we find it.

Valued at $4,000 per carat

Musgravite says ‘no worries mate,’ it is a beautiful purple stone, and we find it in the Musgrave mountain ranges of Australia.

Valued at $6,000 per carat

Red beryl found in Utah, this gem is beautiful and get’s its red colour from certain other elements as pure beryl is usually colourless, unlike the beautiful landscapes of Utah, its fitting that such beautiful landscapes bring us the beauty of red beryl.

Valued at $10,000 per carat

Alexandrite, this has to be my second favourite beautiful deep purples, and even turquoise and green. Found in the Ural mountains in Russia, it has an amazing colour reflection in the dark and the light, changing colour depending on the light intensity.

Valued at $12,000 per carat

Serendibite, a shimmering black stone found originally in Sri Lanka. They have also recently found it in areas of Myanmar. Time for a trip to search for the black stone of shimmering wealth.

Valued at $18,000 per carat

Grandidierite, an extremely rare gemstone with a beautiful turquoise shimmer. Discovered in Madagascar. If Alex, Gloria, Marty and Melman knew what they were onto, they wouldn’t have wanted to leave there. They could have just mined for a living. Perhaps King Julien was such a jovial chap because he knew about Grandidierite.

Valued at $20,000 per carat.

Taaffeite, is an extremely rare gemstone made from rare minerals. Dublin Ireland already had polished and cut Taaffeite back in 1945. Did the Irish know the value of what they had? Initially they didn’t because it was mistaken for spinel. It was only later discovered upon closer inspection that it was a new an unidentified mineral gem stone. Taaffeite can be found in Sri Lanka and Tanzania.

Valued at $35,000 per carat.

Who said diamonds were not on top of the precious gem table? Oh, that was me. Well, the most valuable of all stones is the diamond, but not the white diamonds we are familiar with, but the red diamond. Their rarity makes them valuable. We have discovered less than 30 of these.

Valued at an eye watering $1000,000 per carat.

So there you have it. We have many gemstones more valuable than diamonds, except for red diamonds.

The most famous red diamond was a 5.11 carat bought for a cool $8million.
