Painite (rocks!)

Painite (rocks!)

Alright

Such a pain to sight

(Painite)

A strain, a fight

Painite (rocks!)

Am I right

Painite (rocks!)

Searching all night

(And into the light)

Painite

At 60 k a carrot

(Ya gonna share it?)

(Add boron in)

Painite (rocks!)

Am I right

Painite (rocks!)

Alright

Thanks for the insight

(A real delight)

Painite

(Painfully finite)

Trying to find

(Your kind)

Ahh, um

(You’re a real gem)

The title of the rarest precious gem is often debated among gemologists, as it depends on whether you consider minerals with only one known specimen (like Kyawthuite) or those with a few known facetable stones. However, the gemstone consistently cited as one of the rarest available on the market is Painite.

Discovered in Myanmar in the 1950s by British gemologist Arthur C.D. Pain, the stone was once listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s rarest mineral. For decades, only two cut specimens were known to exist.

Key facts about Painite:

* Availability: While more deposits have been found in recent years (primarily in Myanmar), gem-quality, facet-grade material remains incredibly scarce, with perhaps fewer than 1,000 stones existing in the world.

* Appearance: It typically ranges in color from orange-red to brownish-red.

* Value: High-quality Painite can command prices upwards of $50,000 to $60,000 per carat.
