The Rarest Birthstones
Be it precious or semi-precious stones, the price of jewelry can vary based on many factors. However, the availability of the material is a significant factor in deciding the price tag. Yet, if you were to ask the names of the rarest birthstones by month, only a handful of names are bound to pop up. These stones are so rare that only a few people get to hold a high-quality sample of them in their hands, and they might even be once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
Blue Diamond
The blue diamond is by far the rarest birthstone in the world. Due to its rarity, it is also costly. Even among top collectors, only a lucky few can get their hands on an internally flawless variety of blue diamonds because so little is harvested of them. It is a great investment if you are into it, and since the value will likely never change, it's like investing in any property with the potential for increased value over time.
Jadeite
Jadeite is another rare gemstone on this planet. Being among the highest tier of the jades in terms of physical appearance and purity, only the ancient royalty in China was able to afford the best jadeite. It still has a high valuation in the world, and the green-colored one is the most popular.
Ruby
Considering the number of times you hear about rubies, you think they will be more commonly available. But that is a misconception that is aided by commonly available cultured rubies. The rarest batch of rubies comes from Burma, and they are extra special because of the color and quality of these stones.
