Grandidierite: The Rare Gem from Madagascar

Introduction

Grandidierite is a gemstone considered one of the rarest in the world. Its extraordinary scarcity, rating among the top ten rare stones globally, makes it a gem collector's dream. With a hardness of 7.5 on the Mohs scale, it's not only exceptionally rare but also durable enough to be a centerpiece in jewelry. It was first discovered in Madagascar in 1902, named after the French explorer Alfred Grandidier, and is found in various colors, displaying trichroic pleochroism, ranging from dark blue-green to pale yellow or colorless. It's highly regarded for its potential to predict the future, purify negative energy, and enhance willpower, self-confidence, passion, and execution power.

Origins of Grandidierite

Grandidierite was first discovered in southern Madagascar in 1902. This gemstone is named after the French explorer Alfred Grandidier, who was an expert in the geography and natural history of Madagascar. It's a borosilicate mineral with an orthorhombic crystal structure and is found in colors ranging from light to dark green, light blue, or dark blue-green. One of its most unique features is trichroic pleochroism, allowing it to display different colors depending on the viewing angle.

Rare and Beautiful

Grandidierite is one of the world's rarest gemstones, often listed among the top ten rarest varieties. Its rarity, combined with its intense, vivid colors, makes it highly sought after by gem collectors. This gem's hardness, rating at 7.5 on the Mohs scale, ensures it can withstand the rigors of being set in high-quality jewelry. Whether in rings, earrings, pendants, or bracelets, Grandidierite adds a touch of refinement and beauty to any piece of jewelry, making it a perfect choice for a range of occasions.

Caring for Grandidierite

Grandidierite is generally self-treated because of its durability, but some stones may have inclusions or imperfections. Due to its cleavage and brittle tenacity, it is recommended to avoid mechanical cleaning systems. Instead, use a soft brush, mild detergent, and warm water to clean Grandidierite. Be cautious with ultrasonic and steam cleaners, as they can damage the stone. Additionally, avoid exposing the gem to heat and harsh chemicals, as this can affect its appearance and quality.

Metaphysical Properties

Grandidierite is associated with the heart and throat chakras, which are believed to contribute to physical and emotional well-being. It is said to help eliminate negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, and resentment. This gemstone can also aid in promoting clarity in life, making choices, and enhancing energy levels. It is believed to have the power to heal strained relationships and offer a sense of inner peace and purpose.

In conclusion, Grandidierite is a truly exceptional gemstone, both for its rarity and its metaphysical properties. Its beauty, rarity, and durability make it highly prized among gem collectors, and its potential to cleanse negative energies and promote personal well-being only add to its allure. Whether as a collector's item or a personal talisman, Grandidierite truly shines in the world of gemstones.

# Dcu x Dp 142

In the center of Gotham there stood two unique and strange statues.

One of the statues was of a humanoid man that stood up straight at 5 feet 8 inches both of his hands resting on the top of a sword that was in front of him. He wears a cape that was sculpted to look like there is fur on the edges a chain holds the cape in place, where the chain meets the cape there is a human-looking skull on both sides. His head is slightly tilted down so if you stood a couple of feet away he would be looking at you, he has a soft open smile on his face if you look closely enough you can see he has fangs. His hair looked as though it was floating, on top of his head sat a crown, he had pointy ears the hands that rested on top of the sword had nails that looked like claws. He wears a bodysuit baggy pants and what looks like combat boots, on the center of his bodysuit there is a D with a P inside symbol.

At his feet lays the other statue, a big Rottweiler. The dog came up to his hip while lying down and was at least 7 feet long, his head was by the man's hip and his body was curled behind the man's legs. The dog had his mouth open partially with his tongue hanging out you could see his teeth when looking at him the dog's head was looking at the same spot that the man's head was looking at. The dog wore a collar with spikes at the front there was a tag that had the name Cujo and on the back of the tag the same symbol that was on the man's bodysuit. One of the dog's paws was resting on top of an actual dog toy made of rubber.

They both are on a stone pedestal that is about 3 feet tall and 6 feet wide the pedestal is decorated with symbols of death and protection. You can find other humanoids sculpted into the pedestal and over time people have noticed that you can also find the Bats and Birds symbols on the front of the pedestal and in the corners you can find symbols that represent the rogues.

The statue had both precious gemstones and metals decorating it. The statue of the dog had the least, the dog's eyes are made of rubies the claws are made of obsidian. The spikes on the collar seemed to be an actual metal, in between each spike a star sapphire sits. Under each spike, a small chain is attached and connects to the next spike.

The man had much more, his eyes were made of Alexandrite stones but changed from Emerald to Sapphire and they changed at random. His freckles are a combination of Opal stone and Moonstone that are spread across his cheeks and nose, and his claws and sword are made of obsidian. The cape outside of the cape has small silver spots, and on the inside, there are many different gemstones that are decorated to look like stars in the sky. Crown is made of a combination of Amazonite and Malachite and is decorated with Ammolite, papagoite, shattuckite, and star sapphire. Bracelets are made of Azurite with grandidierite, he has Paraiba tourmaline earrings with one star sapphire earrings hanging from his right ear. He has three rings one made of Garnet, the second one is made of Grandidierite, and the last one is made of Jeremejevite. On his left hand, there are some cracks that disappear underneath the sleeves of his bodysuit and appear again on his left cheek the cracks seem to be filled with emerald ( the bats know it's not emerald it's crystallized LaArus water ) it is like a kintsugi.

Several things make these two statues very unique

1. No known history there is nothing about who made the status or why they were placed there

2. Destroy or steal no matter how many times people try to blow up the statues or smash them no damage can be done, and no one can remove any of the gemstones that are on them. The person would also become sick or be injured after trying

3. Can't be Recorded or take pictures it's difficult to get clear pictures and videos unless they're from an older model

4. No one can buy or take them many wealthy people have tried to buy the statues and take them but every time that's happened the machines and cars that were there to move them were shut down and the person who tried to buy them would get extremely sick and be haunted by nightmares, night terrors and paralysis.

5. Crused and blessed as mentioned before people would get sick be injured get nightmares, night terrors, and/or paralysis. People that stand in a 15 feet radius of the status can't get infected by any of the gass that are release and people that are already infected by them are inside the radius will get cured, and has also protected people from getting attacked inside the circle .

Please 🙏😊

OKAY!

For my lil Mr. Amheotil Lavellan.

Color:

I’m gonna say green. Such a stereotypical elf color (and I almost said gold because of his eyes) but the mf really does love nature. Nothing calms our resident angry boy down like a mossy forest or a vast open expanse of grassy plains. His best friend’s and his niece’s eyes are green, too.

Song:

For the meme I chose ‘Home’ by American Authors and I’m gonna stick with that for multiple reasons.

“I’ve got these letters tattooed on my arm that remind me each second of the place I come from and the long, hard road to guide me back home.” - The first line in the song just makes me think of how Amheotil feels about his Vallaslin and how it keeps him rooted to his people. The Inquisition is a necessity but he’d really just like to save the world and go back to his Clan.

“I've been gone now, for too long, I'm not trying to stop a hurricane, I'm not trying to shake the ground below, I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home.

I'm not trying to part the ocean waves, I'm not trying to overthrow the throne, I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home.” - Amheotil is not power hungry and he sort of hates everything that the title of ‘Inquisitor’ has put on his back. Sure, he’d like to make the world a better place but he never forgets that he’s just a man, the status never goes to his head.

Animal:

Fisher Cat because they’re ragey little bastards. Amheotil is an insomniac and fishers are nocturnal. They have no predators other than humans (fishers are only hunted when they are old or ill and therefore don’t pose a threat, but until then no one want to mess with them) and even though they’re only the size of a large house cat, they’ve been known to take on Lynxes and win and are one of the only animals known to hunt porcupines (a.k.a. they’re tenacious little fuckers). They prefer a forested environment and are not known to attack unless provoked. Also, they like mushrooms.

Element:

Earth. Amheotil’s morals are like stone, they are hard set and firm. But if you know how to navigate the earth then it can protect and shelter you, and Amheotil is very much a protector.

Smell:

Probably like Cedarwood, Pine Pitch, Patchouli, Pali Santo. Real earthy scents. Amheotil is not a flowery guy.

Month:

August. The long days when summer is coming to an end and you just lay out in the sun and let it warm you and breathe the fresh air and you’re just glad to be alive on this magnificent planet.

Day or Night:

Yikes idk. Night. Night might be when the bad dreams come but it’s also when everyone leaves him the fuck alone and he can just cuddle up with Dorian and ignore the fact that he’s the Inquisitor for a while.

Plant:

Lotus. Cliché but the Lotus grows from the muck at the bottom, through the darkness, to bloom beautifully on the water’s surface.

Food:

Mushrooms. Til loves em. Yum.

Drink:

Whiskey. Idk I just feel like he’s a whiskey man.

Astrological Sign:

Part of me says Aquarius, very idealist, unafraid of people thinking he’s weird, part of me says Aries, very ‘fight me bitch, I will cut you.’

Place:

Uhhhh do I choose a real place or….? I’m gonna say any old growth forest. Untouched kinda places. Til’s greatest regret is having to send people into the Arbor Wilds after Corypheus because it disturbed the ancient wilderness there. So in the real world he would love any bit of the planet that man just sort of leaves in peace, where nature can be nature.

Gemstone:

Grandidierite (can ya tell I’m a geology nerd?) it only comes from one place in the world and it’s rarely actually gem quality, but it’s gorgeous. Amheotil is sorta a unique boy, different.

Season:

Summer. Amheotil can be a breath of fresh air and a bright, sunny presence in your life or he can roast you to death.

Number:

Man, I do not know.

Mobwife AU: Jewelries and accessories

Hehe, lots of you guys have been commenting about this so I decided to make a post explaining about this. 

In the AU, I’ve vividly explained about the visual description of Dick’s ring a few times among the stories and chapters. Jason’s ring happens to be appear a few times, lesser than Dick’s. So here what it really is.

Dick has two rings. Yes, two completely different rings, his engagement ring and a wedding band. There are absolutely no design on the internet that completely matches my description of Dick’s and Jason’s rings and jewerlies, so I’ve chose the closest design and image that available. Here’s how they considerately look like:

1. Dick’s wedding band: a 18K Black Gold band of 1crt White Diamonds and 2.3crt Grandidierite

(Just imagine the white gold was black, and the center diomond cuts are blue.)

It is a very masculine one, custom for man wedding brand and the original price of the ring in the image is $13,500. Now, Dick’s wedding band is way beyond that price. Here is why:

Grandidierite is extremely rare, and they are roughly 10 times more expensive than diamonds in raw state, and the price even gets higher after designed cut because it’s extreme hardness and cleavage in 2 directions. Each Grandidierite stones on this ring is 2.3crt in emerald cuts, there’re 12 stones like that, meaning there are a total 27.6crt. Plus, there’s also a large amount of cushion cut diamonds around the band.

This ring is design for Dick to wear on casual days and at home, so it’s much simpler than the engagement one (yes, this is simple, according to Jason).

2. Dick’s engagement ring aka the mob wife ring:  18K Black Gold with 5.3crt and 1crt Grandidierite and 0.5crt White Diamonds.

It is so so HARD to find a closest design of this ring as I wanted, and finally I found this image, which was so close to be. Dick’s ring would have the center big diamond in blue and the rest of the band in black, and oh, the center stone would be much bigger (in the picture it’s 3crt, Dick’s is 5.3, you know the difference).

Jason is a man with both culture and assets to get exactly what he wants how he wants it. He knows his way to make a statement and he literally put Dick’s heart out of his chest when kneeling down with this ring. Dick would absolutely kill him if he finds out how much this ring actually costs. I’ve written, countless time that this ring is a killer weapon if Dick punches someone, you can see why now.

This ring is oddly the one Dick happens to wear the most when going out, simply because Jason likes so and it goes well with pretty much anything in his wardrobe. 

3. Jason’s wedding band: 18K Black gold band with 0.25crt White Diamonds, Grandidierite and 1crt Red Diamond 

The only difference of this image compares to Jason’s ring is the color of the diamond in the center, that’s all. And oh, don’t be fooled by its basic look, Red Diamond is the rarest and also the most expensive variety of natural color diamonds in the world. It’s charged up to 1 million dollar per carat. Believe me when I say he can buy a castle with this ring.

4. Dick’s earrings collection: 

Along the series I’ve mentioned that Dick has quite a few piercings on his ears and wears them often. Also, in the latest story when 2 thieves broke in their house, they snatched some of his earrings, those are:

Bottega Veneta gold earrings

Maria Black 14K White Gold hoop earrings

Labulgara three pointer black diamond single earring

5. Jason’s watch collection:

Jason’s watches are easily his only accessories items that have appeared in the sequel, down below are some I’ve mentioned so far:

Rolex Deepsea

Hublot ICC Cricket (limited)

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon concept

Grandidierite - if you haven’t yet experienced it, you must. First discovered in Madagascar, and named after a French explorer - Alfred Grandidier - who studied Madagascar.. this teal-hued gem has the reputation of being one of the rarest minerals on the planet. Gem-quality, faceted Grandidierite fetches incredibly high prices.. and select pieces travel in museum exhibitions so that people can behold this rare, blue beauty. Not much is written about the metaphysical qualities of Grandidierite.. but a few qualities seem generally agreed upon.. many of which I’ve experienced for myself. It is intensely detoxifying for the body and auric field. Like a spiritual vacuum cleaner, it works to just rid us of stagnant, unwanted energy. Although the color indicates it as a Throat Chakra stone, it feels deeply connected to the heart as well. (Of course, as we know, those two centers are very much connected.) It seems to carry all the calmness, tranquility, and peacefulness that these blue/green stones are beloved for — right to the middle of our chest, washing over us with soothing waves of energy. I am truly in love with these stones. • These are some of my ⓕⓐⓥⓞⓡⓘⓣⓔ studs in the 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 right now...

What's your fave gemstone ghetsis?

“Well, rarities are always nice. . .if you’re trying to court me, only Painite will do.

“Just kidding. 💕”  One of the Shadow Triad bring him the castle battlements mozzetta he would wear over his shoulders in the past.  On each raised bastion was a large gemstone--the whole thing was clearly heavy, and yet nobody had ever seen Ghetsis struggling with the weight, nor did it seem to slow him down in the past. . .at present, whole he didn’t struggle so much with it either(impressive, given he was only using one arm and he’d lost a certain amount of strength in his body overall) and simply drew the garment into his lap.

“Perhaps you would think. . .reds, purples.  The colors of royalty.”  His fingers traced the cushion cut gems, a brilliant aqua shade to them.  “And you’d be right.”

A chuckle as he stroked the blue gems, still shined to perfection and well maintained despite the rarity with which he wore it at present.  “As I said, the rarer the better. . .but some are wonderful simply based on appearances.  These for example, are blue topaz.  Its natural occurrence is fairly rare.  Grandidierite and red beryl are also beautiful, though among the most rare gems in the world. Inclusions usually devalue gemstones, but I like the look of many of them.

“Perhaps it’s a non-answer, but. . .there exist stones--though perhaps not gemstones--called the Golden Light and Dark Stones--where the Light and Dark Stones are hibernating forms of Reshiram and Zekrom, the golden variants are not.  Instead, they summon Reshiram and Zekrom.  Of course, these are rare, said to possibly not even exist, and if they are they’re very heavily guarded, but. . .I know of a few possible locations I’d been meaning to explore. . .before certain events happened.”

Ghetsis gave a sigh, pausing to gather his words, speak slower to prevent himself from stumbling over his own mouth.  “There are also the ‘timespace orbs,’ which seem to be sheddings from Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, which hold an amount of their power.  I have several--however, Soul Dew is a gemstone made of the deceased spirit of a Latias or Latios that I’ve yet to acquire--however there’s said to be other crystals associated with the ‘Eon duo’ that have yet to truly be named.  Last I heard of them they were called Enigma crystals which is, I suppose, a reasonable name for a mysterious gem and I imagine, should they be acquired and they’re found to summon the Eon beings, one would only need to kill them to acquire their soul dew.

“The Red and Blue orbs were broken and their many pieces are called Rubies and Sapphires--not to be confused with actual rubies and sapphires, of course.  To my knowledge there are also Jade orbs, or there’s at least one--all of these are from the Hoenn region, mind, and supposed to be connected to their Legends, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza respectively. 

“What else. . .ah.  Magma stone--actually related to Heatran in Sinnoh, not Team Magma in Hoenn.  And then there’s amber. . .perhaps amber is my favorite, if it could be counted.  After all, containing the DNA of Pokémon, especially those prehistoric. . .amber is an important part of historical research and the Fossil Revival movement!  There’s so much we can learn from that which nature has entrapped. . .imagine what they’ll learn in the future from what we entrap today.

“I suppose that not all of those count as gemstones, but. . .they’re most certainly pretty and surely serve some interesting purposes.  From a practical standpoint, amber is amazing.  Life orbs are useful for Pokémon battles and are fascinating little things. . .the timespace orbs are lovely, but a gem made from the soul of a legendary Pokémon, that is a truly rare and powerful stone.

“And as for regular, simply decorative gemstones. . .well, why choose a favorite?  Certainly some are ugly, but that is why they’re cut and shined and made something beautiful.

“But. . .a Diancie may just be the best gemstone there is.  Merely a mutated Carbink or not, a naturally occurring Diancie--or well-made artificial mutation--is a being of great power and value.  The gems of a naturally occurring Diancie could perhaps be considered among the rarest in the world.  After all, rare as other gems may be, most cannot defend themselves, and certainly not with the strength of a mythical Pokémon. . .I imagine a Diancie’s eyes would be harvestable.  I wonder what power that one little piece alone could hold.”

Of course, he doesn’t mean this in a threatening way!  Certainly not!  Simply the kind of questions any good scientist would ask, right?  He’s racking his brain to think of the gemstones attached to any other Legendaries and Mythical Pokémon--perhaps the stones on the chest of a Regigigas?  His understanding is that the Lake Guardians’s gems regrow if they’re damaged or removed, which makes them essentially sheddings the way the Creation Trio’s orbs are. . . .

He honestly hadn’t thought about gemstones in some time.  He was no treasure hunter, but a connoisseur of Legends and Myths and the artifacts that often come with them. . . .

Oh to go out and explore again. . . .

(In the back of his mind, he wondered what a certain daughter of his was up to these days.  He’d search for her name, if he could remember her mother’s surname.)

⭐ Crystals for zodiacs master list ⭐

I recently got this book called “Love is in the earth A kaleidoscope of crystals” and it’s amazing with detail! HOWEVER, to make it easier on myself I wanted to place all the crystals that are associated with the zodiacs in one spot instead of all over. Also to help me with Planetary magic and working with the planet rulers of each zodiac! I would however suggest you buying the book as well if you wish to know more info about these crystals and so forth! For this is only a scratch of the surface.

gem info about Grandidierite?

Grandidierite is a rather rare mineral, with a lovely blue-green color. It is never transparent enough to facet, but attractive, sometimes even jadelike cabochons are cuttable from the translucent material. The high hardness makes it suitable for wear, although cutters have to pay close attention to the cleavage. Cut grandidierite is seldom seen in collections because few collectors have even heard of it or know it exists in cuttable form.

Name: GrandidieriteCrystallography: Orthorhombic. Crystals elongated and not well formed; massive.Colors: Blue-green; translucent.Luster: VitreousHardness: 7.5Specific Gravity: 2.85-3.0Birefringence: 0.039Cleavage: Perfect 1 direction, good 1 direction.Stone Sizes: Cut as cabochons up to about 1 inch (1-10 carats). At best, the material is translucent, and generally is opaque.Luminescence: None.Spectral: Not diagnostic.Formula: (Mg,Fe)Al3BSiO9.Pleochroism Strong: dark blue-green/colorless/ dark green.

5 Things to Know About … Grandidierite

When I was in Tucson, the team at Omi Gems’ booth treated me to something special: a viewing of not one but six grandidierite gems. I had heard of the gemstone before but had never seen one in person. As it turns out, not many people have. They’re rare, and let me tell you, they’re gorgeous. Grandidierite is bluish-green to greenish-blue, with the blue component increasing with the iron content, according to the GIA. It’s a 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for use in jewelry (when available), but according to the International Gem Society, it is difficult to cut because it has good cleavage in two directions. It also displays trichroic pleochroism, meaning it can show three different colors depending on the angle at which it’s viewed: dark blue-green, pale yellow or colorless, or dark green. In honor of the stone I was excited to see and learn about in Tucson, here are five things to know about grandidierite. 

1. It was first discovered in Madagascar. French mineralogist Alfred Lacroix found the first reported samples of grandidierite in 1902. He discovered the gemstone at the cliffs of Andrahomana in southern Madagascar, according to the GIA. 2. It was named for someone. As is the case with a few other minerals ending in “ite,” grandidierite was named after a person. Lacroix christened the mineral “grandidierite” in honor of another Alfred: French explorer and naturalist Alfred Grandidier (1836-1912), who was the first explorer to describe Madagascar in detail, according to the Cambridge History of Africa. He devoted his life to gathering information for his massive “Histoire physique, naturelle et politique de Madagascar,” which was 38 volumes long.

3. It has since been found elsewhere. In addition to Madagascar, GIA said other reported sources of the mineral include New Zealand, Norway, Suriname, Algeria, Italy, Malawi, India, the United States, Canada, Antarctica and the Czech Republic. Since its discovery more than a century ago, very little gem-quality grandidierite has surfaced and most of what has been found is translucent. However, a 2014 discovery of more transparent material outside of Tarnomaro, Madagascar, near the site where the first pieces of grandidierite were found, has resulted in several fine quality faceted stones, according to the Gemmological Association of Great Britain’s Gems & Jewellery spring issue.

4. It is extremely rare. Despite the number of sources, grandidierite is still extremely rare; pockets tend to be small and quickly become depleted. Much of the material that comes out of the ground is opaque, IGS said. As mentioned before, even when gem-quality material is produced, it’s often translucent (semi-transparent), and is thereby cut into cabochons ranging in size from about 1 carat to 10 carats and up. According to GIA’s Gems & Gemology, gem-quality grandidierite of “facetable size” was “almost unheard of” in the market before the summer of 2015. Bangkok-based gemstone dealer MultiColour Gems said on its website that the ratio of gem-quality crystals to rough is about 1 in 10,000. The company noted that the Tranomaro deposit, where the 2014 discovery occurred, has produced only about 60 grams (300 carats) of eye-clean crystals. Given its rarity, fine grandidierite gems can demand significant prices. For example, gem dealer and Mineral Art manager Brice Gobin is quoted in the Gems & Jewellery article as saying that a buyer paid $50,000 in 2003 for the first known transparent faceted grandidierite, which weighed only 0.29 carats, a fact confirmed by GIA.

Even so, minimal supply goes hand-in-hand with low demand and a lack of knowledge about the stone among many jewelers, according to Gobin. “Grandidierite is too rare to be able to provide the jewelry market,” he is quoted as saying. “No supply, no demand; it’s as simple as that.” 5. You can see grandidierite gems in New York right now. For those who haven’t seen grandidierite in person or are looking for the perfect collector gemstone, one Manhattan gallery provides the perfect opportunity. Gobin sourced a collection of grandidierite gems from the Tranomaro region of Madagascar over an 18-month period, Gems & Jewellery reported. The selection included some 20 gems weighing between 1 and 9-plus carats. Three of Gobin’s grandidierite gemstones will be on display at the Wilensky Gallery in New York City through at least June, representing the gallery’s foray into faceted gemstones. They weigh 2.86, 3.14 and 4.96 carats and are priced at $69,000, $78,000 and $129,500, respectively. I was lucky enough to get to see those, too, during a recent WJA event at the gallery, and I’m telling you: Run, don’t walk, to see these gems before they’re gone.

History About Grandidierite Gemstone

"Grandidierite: The Rarest Gemstone on Earth"

Introduction:

Grandidierite is an extremely rare and precious gemstone known for its exceptional beauty and scarcity. It ranks among the top ten rarest stones in the world and has been isolated for an astonishing nineteen million years. With a hardness of 7.5 on the Mohs scale, it is a durable gemstone composed of magnesium, aluminum, and traces of iron. Grandidierite displays trichroic pleochroism, exhibiting dark blue-green, pale yellow or colorless, and dark green hues. Its journey began with its discovery in Madagascar and it has since captivated gem collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

Historical Significance and Rarity:

Grandidierite was first discovered in 1902 in southern Madagascar, an area rich in geological wonders. It was named after Alfred Grandidier, a French explorer and expert on the geography and natural history of Madagascar. Since its discovery, Grandidierite has been highly sought after due to its rarity and stunning color. In 2003, a transparent Grandidierite gemstone was found in Sri Lanka, expanding its known sources. While other localities have reported Grandidierite finds, South Madagascar remains the primary source of high-quality stones.

Physical Properties and Aesthetic Appeal:

Grandidierite is treasured for its unique physical properties and alluring appearance. Its trichroic pleochroism sets it apart as the only gemstone capable of displaying three different colors simultaneously. Depending on the viewing angle, it can appear as dark green, colorless, light yellow, or dark blue-green. The gemstone forms elongated crystals with a bluish-green or greenish-blue hue. Its transparency adds to its luminous appeal, making it a desirable choice for jewelry.

Astrological and Spiritual Significance:

While Grandidierite does not belong to a specific zodiac sign or serve as a traditional birthstone, some individuals may consider it as a substitute for other blue or green birthstones like aquamarine or turquoise. Specialists associate Grandidierite with the throat chakra, primarily influenced by the stone's color. It is believed to have metaphysical properties that purify unintentionally stored negative energy and enhance willpower, self-confidence, passion, and execution power.

Care and Handling:

Grandidierite requires minimal additional treatment due to its durability. However, it is essential to handle this precious gemstone with care. Mechanical cleaning methods should be avoided, as the stone has cleavage and can be brittle. Instead, use a soft brush, mild detergent, and warm water to clean it. Steer clear of ultrasonic and steam cleaners, as they can cause damage and scratches. Protect Grandidierite from exposure to heat and harsh chemicals to maintain its appearance and quality. Store Grandidierite jewelry in a clean, dry place, preferably in a fabric-lined jewelry case to prevent scratches.

Conclusion:

Grandidierite stands as one of the rarest gemstones on Earth, captivating gem collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its scarcity, combined with its extraordinary beauty, places it among the most coveted stones in the world. With its mesmerizing trichroic pleochroism, high hardness, and diverse color variations, Grandidierite is an excellent choice for center stones in jewelry. Its metaphysical properties and connection to the heart and throat chakras make it a symbol of purity and empowerment. Whether treasured for its rarity or appreciated for its stunning aesthetics, Grandidierite truly stands out in the world of gemstones.

10 Gemstones that are Rarer than Diamonds

Diamonds are by far the most coveted gemstones in the world. But what makes diamonds so revered is not their scarcity, but rather tactful advertising on behalf of diamond mining corporations like DeBeers. There are actually a number of colorful gemstones that are considered to be much rarer than diamonds. Because of their rarity, these gemstones are not frequently found in jewelry. For this reason, they’re less well-known than gems like sapphires and emeralds, but certainly not any less beautiful.

Here are the top ten rarest gemstones (in no particular order):

1. Taaffeite

Image source

This extremely unusual gemstone was discovered accidentally in 1945 by Austrian geologist, Count Edward Charles Richard Taaffe. While combing through a box of spinel gems, Taaffe noticed there was one that was different from the rest. Because Taaffe was the first to discover taaffeite, the stone was named after him. Taaffeite can occur in colors ranging from deep purple to red, though red is the most uncommon. Surprisingly, this stone scores an 8 to 8.5 on Moh’s Scale of Hardness, making it unusually durable. Very few taaffeite gemstones have been found since their initial discovery. In fact, the only known deposits are in Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and China.  If you’re lucky enough to find one of these dazzling gems, expect to pay about $1,500 to $2,500 per carat.

2. Tanzanite

Image source

Though tanzanite can be purchased rather easily, it is still considered rare because of its scarcity. This gemstone is found exclusively in Tanzania, specifically the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Because this is the only known location where tanzanite can be mined, it is predicted that the world’s supply will be depleted within 20-30 years. Iconic jeweler, Tiffany & Co. famously used tanzanite in their designs, further driving up the demand for these beautiful gems. Tanzanite’s deep violet and blue hues make them comparable to sapphires, and they’re often used as an affordable alternative. Though as supply decreases, tanzanite’s value will likely skyrocket. Presently, you can anticipate one of these stones to cost you roughly $600 to $1,000 per carat.

3. Black Opal

Image source

Opals are a rather common gemstone, and can be found in many jewelry stores. However, black opals are a unique exception. Black opals mesmerize with their celestial colors swirled against an ink black backdrop. It’s no wonder they’re considered to be so exquisite! Similar to tanzanite, black opals are found solely in one location—along the Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, Australia. To own one of these captivating gemstones will cost you around $2,300 per carat.

4. Jadeite

Image source

Jadeite is highly regarded by Chinese, Mayan, and Maori cultures, inspiring a rich history of mythology. The stone was said to have been used in ancient Mesoamerica for fashioning tools and other weaponry. Though recognized for its varying shades of green, jadeite naturally occurs in lavender, yellow, blue, and a variety of other colors. Jadeite’s translucent appearance and smooth texture are what make it most valuable. The largest jadeite deposit is in Myanmar, though stones have been unearthed right here in California! Jadeite currently costs approximately $30,000 per carat.

5. Red Beryl

Image source

Red beryl derives its bright red pigment from the trace element manganese. This gemstone is a relative of emerald, aquamarine, and morganite. Red beryl is primarily mined in the Wah Wah Mountains of Utah, though small deposits have been located in Mexico and New Mexico. Most stones that are mined are not large enough for faceting, though if you’re fortunate enough to find one, it could cost you as much as $10,000 per carat.

6. Benitoite

Image source

Benitoite is found primarily in San Benito County, California, which is why California adopted the stone as their state gem. Other specimens have been located in Arkansas, Montana, Australia, and Japan, as well as other regions within California. Though, the only gem quality stones have been produced exclusively by the San Benito mine. Benitoite is sometimes referred to as the ‘blue diamond’ for its mesmerizing translucent blue color. Because of its rarity, most gem quality benitoite is a carat or less, though the largest ever found was nearly 16 carats. To get your hands on one of these gems will cost you about $3,000-$4,000 per carat.

7. Alexandrite

Image source

Deemed the “emerald by day, ruby by night”, alexandrite has unique color-changing properties that make it highly desirable. In lighter environments, alexandrite sparkles a rich blueish green color, while darker settings cause the stone to transition to a vivid magenta or purple tone. This one-of-a-kind gemstone was first discovered in the mountains of Russia in the 1830s. It was highly coveted by the Russian aristocracy, deriving its name from Czar Alexander. New deposits have recently been unearthed in Brazil, East Africa, and Sri Lanka. Perhaps these new locations will yield enough to help ease prices, but in the meantime alexandrite can cost as much as $12,000 per carat.

8. Musgravite

Image source

Musgravite was first discovered in the Musgrave Range of Southern Australia. It is from this range that it derives its name, though traces have now been found in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and more. Musgravite is found in colors ranging from a greenish gray to purple, and scores an 8-8.5 on the Moh’s Scale of Hardness. This score makes musgravite ideal for use in jewelry, but unfortunately quantities are too limited. Despite the discovery of new deposits, availability of musgravite is still scarce, in turn making them quite pricey. The cost for one of these rare beauties? Specimens have sold for as much as $35,000 per carat!

9. Painite

Image source

In 2005, painite took the crown as the world’s rarest gemstone according to the Guinness Book of World Records. At the time, there were only 25 known specimens in existence. Today, that number hasn’t increased by much, with the only known source of painite being in Myanmar. This gem can occur in colors ranging from brown to red, and even pink. Painite is pleochroic, meaning that it can appear to change colors when viewed from different angles. So what does the world’s rarest gemstone cost? If you’re able to locate painite on the market, it may cost you as much as $50,000-$60,000 a carat.

10. Grandidierite

Image source

Grandidierite was discovered in Madagascar in 1902 by a French mineralogist, Alfred Lacroix. He named his treasure after French explorer and naturalist, Alfred Grandidier. Since his initial finding, small samples of grandidierite have been found in Namibia and Sri Lanka, though very few have been gem quality. Grandidierite commonly occurs in a teal blue color, and can transmit light due to it being pleochroic. Specimens that are fully transparent are considered the rarest. Forbes ranked this gemstone the third rarest on earth, with prices as high as $20,000 per carat.

Having the blues 🧿💙💎 is not always such a bad thing.. • This palette has been finding me quite a bit recently. (Remember when we talked about the universe giving you the stones you need...?💎) The tranquil vibrations emanating from these aqua gems are balm to the spirit. • And another element clicked into place as I was driving home last night... my sister was a massage therapist for many years... she now runs @deliberationspod but I had asked her to work on my neck as a favor. I’ve always had chronic neck pain / problems.. and in times of stress / duress it really gets out of control. So she was massaging the base of my head, at that juncture where your neck and skull meet - and kept telling me to just relax my head into her hands. “Okay,” I kept saying.. letting go as much as I possibly could. “No,” she would say, “take a deep breath in, and out, and on the exhale - just let go, don’t hold your head up at all...” so I kept doing as she told me to, ‘letting go’ as much as I absolutely could. And she finally said to me, in shock, “Emily, your whole neck is completely rigid - you don’t even know how much tension you’re holding there.” All I could do was sigh, feeling the tears I’d been flirting with all day threaten an arrival, and sink into the truth of her observation. All of the pain, and anger, and fear, and loss, and sadness - all coiled inside of me. Still. Rigid. • So driving home, I began to think about Vishuddha - the Throat Chakra. It controls how we communicate with others, and the world. How we speak our truth - or don’t. Physically - it affects our actual voice, neck, shoulders... 🌀 I’ve always known it was a problem for me. Always naturally shy, it has historically been difficult to assert myself - to speak a truth in a situation where that may not be received well. I have gotten better with this, with age and time.. but I still feel a lacking there. 💠 • So I think my next collection of pieces will focus on this, the blues, Vishuddha, the voice, the truth - our own inner truth, the strength to project. Just in time I got in a NEW BATCH OF GRANDIDIERITE .. as well as that super lovely Trolleite I showed you recently... 💙 • Who’s feelin it?!

I’m SO excited that I managed to finish a few of these gemmy #Grandidierite necklaces for tomorrow’s “Jewels for 𝓱𝓮𝓻” Mother’s Day update.. 💎🦋🙏 • Do you know this magical teal-hued gem? You must!!! First discovered in Madagascar, and named after a French explorer - Alfred Grandidier - who studied Madagascar.. this teal-hued gem has the reputation of being one of the rarest minerals on the planet. Gem-quality, faceted Grandidierite fetches incredibly high prices.. and select pieces travel in museum exhibitions so that people can behold this rare, blue beauty. Not much is written about the metaphysical qualities of Grandidierite.. but a few qualities seem generally agreed upon.. many of which I’ve experienced for myself. It is intensely detoxifying for the body and auric field. Like a spiritual vacuum cleaner, it works to just rid us of stagnant, unwanted energy. Although the color indicates it as a Throat Chakra stone, it feels deeply connected to the heart as well. (Of course, as we know, those two centers are very much connected.) It seems to carry all the calmness, tranquility, and peacefulness that these blue/green stones are beloved for — right to the middle of our chest, washing over us with soothing waves of energy. I am truly in love with these stones. • Like all the other necklaces in this delicate collection, they’re created on dainty chains bursting with gemstone beads.. • And of course these gemmies aren’t just for mommas... but you know. Moms love crystals, too. ☺️ • . • . • . • . • #crystaljewelry #daintyjewelry #crystalhealing #healingjewelry #spiritualjewelry #chakrajewelry #gemstonejewelry #crystalsofinstagram #sacredjewelry #electroformedjewelry #gemstonelover (at Seaoxdesigns.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_n0ppUJnJP/?igshid=1m6xld6s3u5ez
