5 OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE GEMSTONES
Value of gemstones can be driven from some
of the factors such as uniqueness, rarity and size. We have come up with a list
of top 5 expensive gemstones in the world.
Colored
Diamonds- colored diamonds fall under the category
of some of the world’s rarest colored gemstones. The Pink Star and Oppenheimer
Blue are two of the spectacular examples. Weighing 14.6 carats, a vibrant blue
diamond, the Oppenheimer Blue was sold for $ 57.5 million at an auction. A 59.6
carat vibrant pink diamond, the Pink Star was recently sold at $71.2 million,
making it one of the most expensive gemstones sold ever!
Rubies- best quality rubies can be really expensive. Sold for $30.42
million, the Sunrise Ruby, a red gemstone from Burma weighed approximately 25.6
carats. The balanced cut, intense color and incredible purity were some of the
reasons why this stone was sold at such a price!
Sapphires- since ages, sapphires have been the most coveted gemstones of all.
Sold for $6.7 million at an auction, the Jewel of Kashmir Sapphire weighed 27.7
carats (sold for just less than $250,000 per carat).
Taaffeites- this stone is one of the least known but most expensive gems on
our list and is found only in Tanzania and Sri Lanka. Taaffeite specimens are
valued around $35,000 per carat.
Spinels- just like Taaffeites, Spinels too are less known stones, however, it
definitely doesn’t mean that they are in any way less expensive or valuable
than other available gemstones. Weighing over 50 carats, the Hope Spinel was
sold for an astounding $ 1.4 million!
