What might surprise you is that although diamonds air flaunted as a symbol of status and wealth there, neither the most expensive nor the rarest gems available here are five gemstones mawr expensive than diamonds. At number five, we have red barrel. Red barrel is a rare variety of barrel that receives its red color from trace amounts of man. Janie's crystal, suitable enough for cutting gems have been found on Lee in one location. The Wa Wa mountains of Utah Red Barrel has been discovered in other locations in Utah and Mexico, but most of these stones air too small and not suitable for fastening this beautiful gems rarity is mind blowing. Geological Surveys estimate that for every 160,000 gem quality diamonds, there is only one gem quality. Red barrel crystal red barrel stones, air incredibly expensive, and when cut, they can fetch up to $10,000 per carat. Coming in at number four, we have Alexander right, named in honor of the Russian czar, Alexander. The second, Alexander Wright, is a strikingly beautiful and rare gem. The term emerald by day. Ruby by night is used to describe Alexander right, because it is well known for displaying one of the most remarkable color changes in the world of gems. From a beautiful shade of blue green in the sunlight and magenta in incandescent light. Alexandra it was discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 19th century 18 34. The stone was named Alexander, right in honor of the then future czar of Russia. Since its discovery, new specimens have been found in East Africa, Sri Lanka and Brazil. Despite that, Alexandra is still so rare and expensive that only a handful of people have seen natural Alexandra. This gorgeous stone can command prices of up to $12,000 per carat. The number three spot is taken by jadeite. Jadeite is a striking jump stone and appears in varying shades of green, from pale green to an apple green shade. You may have already heard of jadeite. You just didn't know. The most popular form of jadeite is when it is an intense, striking, translucent green color. This form is popularly known as imperial Jade, although today jadeite is mind primarily in Myanmar, it could be traced back to ancient Meso America, where the hard and dense material was used in various tools and weaponry. As you expected. This stone costs an arm, a leg and a couple of diamonds as it demands a price of up to $30,000 per carat. Occupying the second spot is Muscovite. Muscovite is a rare mineral oxide that is used as a gemstone. It appears in the colors of gray, green and green. It was first discovered in the Musgrave Ranges of South Australia back in 1967 many years after the discovery of Muscovite Onley. Eight known Muscovite stones existed in the world, however, Since then, small deposits of Muscovite had surfaced in Antarctica, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Greenland and Tanzania. But that hasn't increased its availability. To this day. Muscovite remains extremely rare and exceedingly expensive. The price of a Muscovite stone can reach a whopping $35,000 per carat. At number one, we have the rarest of them all. Granted, all of the gemstones on this list are rare, but pay night is exceptionally rare. Pay night is a red brownish orange red gemstone that is only found in Myanmar. The first pay night stone was discovered by mineralogist Arthur 100 pain in the 19 fifties until 2000, and one on Lee to other pay night specimens were known to exist, effectively making it the world's rarest gemstone. Since then, more than 1000 crystals and fragments of pay night have been recovered, but unfortunately, most of this mineral is impossible to facet. In fact, even the gem quality pay night tends to be fractured and incredibly hard for gem cutters to work with. This results in stones that air shallow, small and diminished in brilliance due to the extreme rarity of the stone, Pay night is effectively priceless and the likelihood of getting your hands on pay night is incredibly slim in the case that you do find it, get ready to break the bank because this rare gem can cost between 50 and $60,000 per carat.
