Alexandrite
$550.00 – $3,500.00Quick View-
The official birthstone of June’s color-changing ability is enchanting. Alexandrite is green in sunlight and red in incandescent light, making it one of the few color changing gemstones on the market. The stone was discovered in 1830 in the Ural mountains of Russia, which is also home to other unusual minerals. The stone was subsequently named after Czar Alexander II.
Smaller varieties of alexandrite have been mined in Sri Lanka, Brazil, and Asia, but fine alexandrite specimens are still very rare and costly. If you’ve uncovered an heirloom alexandrite gem that is large in scale and has excellent clarity, you’re likely dealing with a synthetic. These stones are often blue and purple vs. green and red and are actually synthetic corundum. The average price per carat can be $12,000 per carat.

Benitoite
$500.00 – $2,500.00Quick ViewMost everyday jewelry lovers will never be able to see the true beauty of benitoite. This sapphire-blue gemstone has only been found in San Benito County, California. It was first discovered in the early 1900s by George D. Louderback. It became the official gemstone of California in 1985. The stone has been misidentified as spinel in the past, but was eventually re-examined and reclassified due to the high level of brilliance of the gemstone.
You’ll have to do some due diligence to find a trustworthy and legitimate source to purchase benitoite. When you do, be prepared to spend. You’ll want to find a stone that has a medium body tone with a cut that maximizes the stone’s fire. Stones that are too dark will not reflect the light well. Stones that are too light will look washed out. Don’t expect to find stones greater than 3 carats. The average price is $3,800 per carat for stones with medium blue tones. Smaller stones that are less than 1 carat can reduce the price per carat significantly.

Black Opal
$600.00 – $3,000.00Quick View-
Black opal is the rarest and most popular type of opal. It is also considered among the rarest of all gemstones. Almost all the world’s supply of black opal is mined in Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, Australia.
The main characteristic that will differentiate black opal from common opal is its body tone. Though black opals can come in many colors, their overall composition is on the darker end of the spectrum. There are synthetic black opals and treatments on the market that are difficult to identify without the help of a lab. Be sure to buy black opal from a reputable dealer. The average price per carat is greater than $3,500 for fine-quality stones.

Demantoid Garnet
$600.00 – $3,000.00Quick View-
Demantoid is a remarkable green variety of andradite garnet that was discovered in the mid-1800s in Russia. Though other types of warm-toned garnet are considered common and inexpensive, demantoid garnet is among the rarest and most valuable from that gem family. You will have a hard time finding a demantoid garnet larger than 2 carats since most crystals are smaller in size. One great aspect about demantoid garnets is they are rarely treated, which is unlike many other gemstones on the market.
Demantoid garnet is between 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness so the stone is durable for everyday wear with proper care. Since this variety of garnet is rarely found in large sizes, your best bet is to seek a stone between .5 and .75 carats. Be sure it is cut well to show off the stone’s natural brilliance. The average price per carat is $3,300 for high-quality natural stones.

Jadeite
$900.00 – $4,000.00Quick View-
Jadeite ranks near the top of a list of one of the most valuable gemstones in the world. This gemstone is jade’s most expensive, most beautiful variety. Since this deep green translucent gem is significantly rarer than other types of jade, it is worth much more.
If you want the look of jadeite but can’t afford the price tag, consider shopping for the less expensive version, nephrite or the jade dupe, aventurine. Jadeite value is based on the level of transparency and depth of color. Some very fine pieces have even sold for over $1 million per carat. Most jadeite on the market will sell for significantly less. An average price per carat is $20,000 per carat for high-quality material.

Musgravite
$1,000.00 – $7,000.00Quick View-
Musgravite was discovered in 1967 and is arguably the rarest gemstone in the world. It was first discovered in Musgrave Ranges, Australia, and later found in Madagascar and Greenland. The first sizable gem-quality specimen was discovered in 1993. As far as gem-quality stones, there are about ten specimens known and documented.
Unfortunately, due to the rare nature of this stone, it’s unlikely a consumer would come across this stone on the open market. If you do come across suspected musgravite, submit it to a gemology lab for testing due to the crossover between this gemstone and the less rare taaffeite gemstone. The average price per carat is $35,000 per carat based on specimens already sold.

Padparadscha Sapphire
$500.00 – $2,500.00Quick View-
Padparadscaha (pronounced pad-pah-raj-ah) sapphires are extremely rare and found mostly in Sri Lanka as well as parts of Madagascar and Tanzania. The unique combination of pink and orange hues make this stone one of the most sought after by collectors. The gemstone comes in a variety of shades, but medium tones seem to be the most favorable and attractive.
Since Padparadscha sapphires are so rare, buyers may find themselves needing to compromise when making their purchase. This may mean opting for a stone with less clarity and a duller color or choosing a stone that is smaller in size. Shapes can often be unusual and varied because gem cutters try their best to maximize carat weight. This is due in large part to the rarity and demand factor for this stone. Don’t expect to find these sapphires over 2 carats without paying a premium. The average price per carat is $8,000 for high-quality gems.
