Gemstones are some crystal minerals, rocks and organic materials that are used as jewelry because of their properties and characteristics. Gemstones have been recognized for their rareness and beauty since the ancient times. In the 19th century, terms precious and semi – precious stones were coined. Precious stones referred to diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires, while all other gemstones were classified as semi-precious. This classification has now been rejected, because there are many differences and qualities of one kind of gemstone which resembles the price, for example, diamond qualities differ so much that their prices can differ in millions per karat. Insidermonkey experts made a list of the most expensive gemstones in the world.
We have picked two gemstones from their list. The first one jadeite which costs $21,633 per CD. Jadeite is often confused with jade, although it is a type of jade, together with nephrite (although they are chemically absolutely different, jadeite being made of sodium and aluminum, and nephrite of calcium and magnesium). What makes jadeite more valuable are its properties and the fact that it is much rarer than nephrite. The second gemstone is painite. Its price is $60,000 per CD. It’s incredible to me that little stones can cost such a considerable amount of a money! This is an extremely rare mineral only discovered in the 1950s, and bears the name of Arthur Pain, a mineralogist who discovered it. You can also check our list of 11 Biggest Gemstones in the World.
