The World’s Rarest and Most Valuable Gemstones

Due to their high values, a lot of people think that gemstones like diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and rubies are the rarest in the world. Initially, I thought this as well, but after a little research, I was amazed to learn that they’re not even close.

In fact, there are at least a dozen gemstones far rarer and more valuable than diamonds. One thing is certain: Rarity is often a bigger factor in determining a gemstone’s value than mere looks.

Strangely, in my opinion, some of the most valuable stones are not as visually breathtaking as I thought they would be. It is important to point out that the values in this list (or any list of this nature) are not and can not be 100% accurate.

The truth is gemstones are worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them. Availability, time and the eagerness of owners to sell will all influence the sale price of gems.

I had a lot of fun putting this article together, and hope you enjoy it as well!

Poudretteite

Another stone deserving to be on our list of the 10 rarest gemstones in the world is Poudretteite. Poudretteite is a faded pink crystal. Incredibly small fragments were found in Quebec, Canada in the 1960s. The gemstone was named after the Poudrette family which owned the mine where the stone was found. Poudretteite and Taaffeite are tied for, world’s rarest gemstone, as Poudretteite also has less than 50 specimens found.

Larimar is a very rare blue variety of the mineral pectolite and is found in only one small area of the Dominican Republic. This turquoise stone’s name was created by the man who brought the stone to prominence in 1974, Miguel Méndez—he took the first part of his daughter’s name, Larissa, and combined it with the Spanish word for sea, mar, to create the portmanteau larimar. Locals had known of the existence of the stone for generations, because small examples had washed up on the seashore, but it was not until the 1970s that sufficient quantities were found in the ground to open a mine
