We all know that, apparently, clear diamonds are a girl’s best friend. The problem is, they can just be so expensive to buy! As it turns out, they aren’t the most expensive gemstones out there. Other diamonds and gemstones take that title. From a stone found in just one place on earth to one costing millions per carat, here are 15 gemstones more expensive than diamonds.

  • Most of those opals you showed were not fire opals. Fire Opals are mainly orange red or yellow. You showed a lot of different opals such as boulder opal, precious opal, crystal opal, white opal. Black opal should be on this list, because it's certainly a lot more expensive than the 'fake' Herkimer diamonds, that are really quartz crystal, not diamonds at all.

    • Naw they could be fire opals could be a welo or Honduran but boulder opals which are native to Australia can have different colors but aren't given the fire opal name like the welos from Ethiopia are for example..and Herkimers are Herkimers they aren't a diamond correct but they aren't just a quartz either

  • I call bs on Herkimers being more expensive than regular diamonds. In fact, they're cheap, or were, back in the late 1990's, when I bought a rough cleaned one that's slightly larger than a pea for $8. And I got it in a metaphysical store that had a wide variety of raw stones in abundance. Though the Herkimer, along with amber, were their most expensive raw mined pieces of all the semi precious, & other gemstones.

  • My favorite gemstone that made this list is tanzanite. Whenever my budget can allow it, I invest in it. I currently have a little over 20 carats of tanzanite, no stone under .5 carats, and my collection has one 10 carat, brilliant round cut, rated by Shimansky Cape Town, New York as B-AAA+ Rare...B representing that the stone is blue dominant instead of violet dominant. I have gotten very lucky to have stumbled across the tanzanite deals i have. Love love love the stones. In my opinion it is easily in the top 5 most beautiful gemstones in the world.

Alexandrite is also one of those gems but it’s a tricolor instead of bicolor. Well some specimens of alexandrite are bicolor but that’s pretty rare for alexandrite.

When I went to Fedex to pick up my winnings I opened the container and the stone was a ' sapphire'. When I got to my friend to show her it was 'emerald'. When I reached home it was 'amethyst'. I've had jewellers try to finagle it from me, yet to me it is priceless! Just sharing.

    • Yes, it will increase in value when the store is going to sell it to you, NOT WHEN YOU TRY TO SELL IT BACK AT THE STORE. Diamonds like cars don't retain their value. Diamonds are OVERPRICED, OVERVALUE with overly inflated markups. They'll give you, not even 20% of what you paid for. The store says they have to make a profit. The diamonds stones at a trader hands are worth nothing. They are worth for them as a stone they can deceive people to pay them a huge markup for them.

  • Diamonds weren't very expensive or sought after back in the 19th century. Back then, sapphires and rubies were the thing. Diamonds came the forefront through 20th century marketing. Diamonds themselves are quite common. Gem quality diamonds are not, but from what I remember, supply is artificially kept low to keep diamond prices high...in order to maximize profits.

    • That is simply not true. Read your history using documented sources. In the last 40 years the number of consumers for precious gems has gone up by the billions. More people than ever can afford them. Diamonds will continue to rise in price and the Laboratory grown synthetic diamonds will take over the lower end of the market. Sadly late grown are being pushed as environmentally better. Again people need to do their. homework. Serious homework. Not a night cruising the internet. As a past librarian and a current Gemologist of 35 years in practice.... Factual knowledge takes time & experience. I am not picking on you...I just want to help people understand that just because something is floating around as fact, simply doesn't mean it is. My sincerest apologies....i just had a moment and needed to rant about this. Namaste...

  • Herkimer diamonds are not worth more than flawless diamonds. They are just double terminated quartz crystals. The ones that have no inclusions and are flawless are worth more than run of the mill Herkimer diamonds. Herkimer diamonds are semiprecious stones. Heat treated stones are not worth nearly as much as naturally colored stones. For instance, most sapphires are clear or yellow. Heat treating them can turn them blue. The same is true of clear topaz. Any gemstone that has cleavage in several directions is going to be brittle and not suitable for anything but earrings or a pendant. Tourmaline and kunzite are good examples of this. Also you want a gemstone that has a hardness of at least 8 on the Mohs scale for rings so the stone is durable.

    @tanyawales5445@tanyawales54452 жыл бұрын
    • Blue is the standard for sapphire which is why the color is not needed to describe when stating a sapphire. While heat treating and other treatments change the quality of sapphire, it isn't a standard for color change as you would see in topaz and few others.
