treasured sand gemstones become a consultant

Preorder early to be higher in the lineup.

If you ask a question, the consultant may be too busy to answer, but an Admin is always happy to help answer any question you may have. We will never intentionally ignore you, but with so many viewers and comments, it is hard for the consultant to read and answer each and every comment on our Live shows.

If you are commenting on the Live and no on is answering, add an emoji to your comment and it will show up! If you feel that your comment is being filtered by Facebook and you have an pressing question or concern please message our Page and an Admin will respond and help you.

If you feel that you were accidentally banned from the Live video, please message the page and we will work quickly to correct the issue! Our Admins work hard to keep those comments off our shows and engaging just brings more attention to the rudeness and off of the consultant and customer. If any negative, rude or vulgar comment is made please, please ignore the comment and do not engage. To help the consultants, customers, and Admins please do not correct the consultant or repeat the customers comment picks. We do not allow negativity, vulgar comments, ‘mad faces’ or for viewers to ask for gifts on the live shows.

It is thought that less than 50 examples of taaffeite exist-many of which are housed in geological and private collections, making this gemstone so rare the ordinary public are unlikely to ever encounter it.Place your order and our consultants will open your order on Facebook Live. Finally the source of the stone was tracked down to Sri Lanka, although a handful have also been found in Tanzania and China. Fortunately, once the new stone had been announced, many other collectors re-examined their own spinel collections and a number of other samples were uncovered. The results revealed that he had discovered a hitherto unknown gemstone-a serendipitous but frustrating situation, since he had discovered a cut gem and had no idea where the mineral naturally occurred. But on closer inspection, he noted that one of the pale mauve gems was not reacting to the light in the same way as the rest of the spinels, so he sent it off to be analyzed. ALEXANDRITE // COLOR-SHIFTING GEMĭonGuennie (G-Empire The World Of Gems) via Wikimedia Commons // CC BY-SA 3.0Īustrian-Irish gemologist Count Edward Charles Richard Taaffe bought a box of cut stones from a jeweler in Dublin in the 1940s, thinking he had purchased a collection of spinels. It’s safe to assume that if a gem of similar quality were to be unearthed, its scarcity alone would ensure it fetched an extremely high price. The gem was only identified as grandiderite after expert analysis and was subsequently sold for an undisclosed sum.

In fact, the stone was initially assumed to be another rare gem, serendibite, because grandiderite of that color and transparency had yet to be seen. The majority of the known stones are translucent, but the most rare, and therefore most valuable, example ever found was transparent. This extremely rare blue-green mineral has been found in a number of places around the world, but so far only Madagascar and Sri Lanka have produced any gem-quality stones, and these are still extremely scant.

Grandiderite was first described in 1902 by French mineralogist Alfred Lacroix, who found it in Madagascar and named it in honor of the French explorer Alfred Grandidier, an expert on Madagascan natural history. DonGuennie (G-Empire The World Of Gems) via Wikimedia Commons // CC BY-SA 3.0
