I once had a kidney stone. It cost me $5000 in medical bills. Its the most expensive stone I ever had. 😐
Maybe it has really good resell value. I mean you never know. You could try to make a ring out of it
Word !!!!!
😂😂😂
I vote you won the internet for that, lol.
To funny
Diamonds aren't rare. The market is controlled to keep prices high.
Exactly.
No sheit, Sherlock! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@Frost Wolf great diamonds are rare! Size is a lot!
Yes! It’s all about business!! Who started the diamond business who said it’s rare?!
Plus good fakes are plentiful.
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
Lots of BS in this article
@@nickhoward7283 it can be called that just like Honduran it's any opal that has the 3 colors blue green red
Damn 😂 are you mad?
This whole video is like that, total bullshit like lab grown conundrum and rhodolite are in every ted stone bit, same deal with every other color. It's random bullshit eye candy filler.
I'm a master jeweler.
This video made laugh so hard!
Don't go off of this info! 😂😂😂
Not a jewelry, but (not bragging just discribing) cut top quality custom designed faceted stones. So knowing the importance of the value of the stone is as important of the quality of the stone.
Soon as saw the first one, was very ehh...
I have a gem stone I don't know if it's real. Philippines
I’m a gemologist, this video kinda hurt
As soon as I heard the narrator speaking I thought this must be a joke
This guy in the video must be high
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.
Hi, i have amazingly great 10 carat of Tanzanite. If you like to buy ?
00
Same here
I was born in December and always thought my birthstone was turqoise. Boring. Tanzanite much much better.
Agreed! It holds a totally different vibration too
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.
I picked up a few from the Gem Show for my crystal business at a decent price. A lot people don't even know what it is.
@@daisygirl1217 E-BAY
They’re super inexpensive compared to a diamond …. Easy to come by.
Meh refraction. I have a 13 ct herkimer… the band is worth 6x the stone value & it’s a simple band & prong setting .
I wonder what else this poor excuse for a video got wrong? Are my rose quartz beads now worth millions? Lol.
I second that
Grew up in NY, people used to mine them all the time as a family trip. You can still mine them all day for $16
Fire Opal....is not in the outrageous price range. Black Opal from "Lighting Ridge" in Australia is where the Opals that can bring five figures per carat.
Gemologist, jeweler, and sales associate here. Taaffeite is my favorite gemstone right now.. and it looks nothing like musgravite. Taaffeite ranges in different purple/pink tones and usually has little to no inclusions or internal fractures…
Not to mention musgravite isn’t doubly refractive like taaffeite
Hi Samantha, I have a Serendibite it's black and appears brown. Can you please tell me more about this gemstone?
blame debeers for that
I'm surprised that Ammolite wasn't in the top 15. It's very beautiful, and it's only been found in one place on earth, in Alberta, Canada.
Gemologist here….My family grew up in Alberta and near the area where Ammolite was “discovered”. Before it’s “discovery” as kids they used to toss the specimens and rocks around and thought nothing of them. They are kicking themselves now and shake their heads.
There's a mine in Alaska
@@wm9312 where is this mine? From what i can find gemstone quality ammolite is only mined in Alberta
@@estellerobicheau852 The same company has a mine in Alaska. Apparently they do well selling ammonite to cruise ship tourists
Love Tanzanite! December finally gets a worthy birthstone!
Tanzanite is my favourite Gemstone, it is the center stone in the wedding ring for my wife to be as well rimmed by smaller diamonds.
The cutting makes the stones precious... I watched a professional cutting at a non precious stone and the result was unbelievable.
These diamonds are more expensive than diamonds 😂😂
Would have been MUCH better if the pictures/clips shown for each one ONLY contained that type of gem. For example, during the "Fire Opal" section there were MANY other opals and other gems shown. Some were even faceted but opals can't be faceted.
There's one that can but I'm having a senior moment and can't remember. Ethiopian maybe???
Welo opal can be faceted.
any opal CAN be faceted, but why would you? Fire opal sometimes is as it doesn't always have that play of color. But if an opal does have that, it doesn't make sense to facet it.
Inhave Ethiopian Opal Faceted & Brazil Fire Opal can be faceted aswell
crystal opal can be faceted..they didnt go into opal very well
I love Tanzanite. Finding good quality with lots of flashes of red +depth of color is rare and size matters. 😁
Fun fact about tanzanite. It is one of the only gems that has a bicolor. Which means it shins a different color under some lighting. 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.
I was surprised that Alexandrite wasn't on this list. I was fully expecting to see it somewhere
@@Deziraye11 Yeah. From what I know, natural Alexandrite is way for expensive than a diamond of equal quality (size, clarity, etc.)
Edit: “way MORE expensive”. Damned autocorrect!
I own a genuine, natural Alexandrite which turns about five colours, depending on the lighting. I won it participating in an online contest based on knowledge of jewellery, but I digress. 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.
@@arlanarix-brazil4800 I would take it to a lab and have it looked at under a spectrometer thats how you will know for a fact of what you have. That’s sounds really beautiful. There is one in a ring set that I don’t know if it’s real or not that goes from this sea foam green to purple. It’s huge maybe like 3 or 4 carts which is why I’m leaning on it’s not real. Plus the fact you usually don’t set alexandrite with smaller stones of alexandrite in a wedding setting like it is in. I don’t know something about that ring is screaming to me not real if that makes sense.
@@GrumpyOldFart2 o
I agree. Diamonds are actually very common. Their value was a jewelry industry scam from the outset. Diamonds and engagement rings?
Biggest social ploy possibly ever!
I agree, biggest marketing propaganda ever perpetuated on the general public.
Don’t mind diamonds, as long as they play second fiddle to the main event of a beautiful precious coloured gem.
IN A FEW MONTHS OR NO TIME PEOPLE WILL DEFINITELY KICK THEMSELVES REGRETTING FOR MISSING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY OR INVEST IN CRYPTOCURRENCY
You are right, to be a successful person in life require him or her of hard work and time

Yes I'm a living testimony of Mrs, Stacy Griffin.
I have also experience her great work too, she is good in trading
Is there anyway I can communicate with, Stacy Griffin?
I live in Utah, USA & there is a very remote southern Utah town called Beryl, UT. This is where the gemstone "Red Beryl" is found. It is basically the same material as Emerald, except for being green, its red in color. Its very beautiful, rare & very expensive. It is plainly posted that If you are found on the property where it is located, the owners can shoot you onsite.
I have a bixbite ring. The gems are very small but I like unique gemstones.
I'd prob risk it... Can't even live without having 2 jobs and roomates
What? No alexandrite?
The question is how the most hard stones are cut, what are they cut with
... If Herkimer diamonds were so rare and expensive they wouldn't let people mine there for just $16 dollars. People did that all the time when I was growing up in NY, and people still do...
Alexandrite is a color change very rare, expensive stone not mentioned.. Hmmm .. definitely more than the Herkimer.. And Dementoid Garnets ( green) or Color Change Garnets (Red to Green) are rare and amazing..
I’ve heard this about Garnets. I am a January birthday so Garnets are my birthstone. I’ve always thought they were an ugly earthly brown, but being an earth sign, I have grown to embrace the color. Someone once told me that there are purple or even green garnets that can almost look like emerald but are more valuable than diamonds. Would love to find one some day! Same with sun stones, just learning about those and I am born and raised in Oregon. Makes me want to go mining so bad.
Specifically demantoid horsetail 😳
I have a matched set of demantoids with horsetail inclusions…. My favorite gems.
Yes, I was surprised that the Alexandrite wasn’t on the list!
I don't now if you are interesting I have some gemstones
I have a vast collection of gemstones and crystals, including Herkimer diamond, Tanzanite, Benitoite, Lightning Ridge opal, black opal, fire opal, larimar, and alexandrite. I love my collection.
i am so jealous..
It mostly depends on quality. At least for this list. Except for Herkimer Diamonds. I am unaware of any circumstance in which these are rarer or more expensive than diamonds.
Half the stones they talked about are just special types of diamonds so how is a rare diamond more expensive than a diamond. Unless I missed something a red diamond is still a diamond.
I'm salviating looking at the amazing beauty of these gems
They are so beautiful, I will like to have one, hope you are doing fine
That cobalt blue tanzanite is glorious!
I have a 1 ct stone on a welsh gold 18K pinky ring I inherited not long ago from my grandfather and without making myself sound crazy on here I’m just going too say I’ve been very well off with business for the first time in my life since it was put on my finger
These gemstones are marvels of creation. Beautiful and fascinating. Their colors are so vibrant and intense. Little treasures hiding all over the Earth.
The most expensive gemstone is the one you put in that engagement ring - because you will never pay it off.
Hey can I ask where you got the video for the blue diamond ? I was shocked to see that because I have a stone almost identical to it
Imagine a planetary system where these cover entire landscapes. I live thinking about how the could be a planet for each gemstone, where they dominate the scenery.
Type one Supernova stars shower the universe with trillions of tonnes of diamonds when they explode
@@stephaniesadie832 Eyy if you haven’t heard of this, look up 55 Cancri e, this exoplanet is rumoured to have 3/4th of it as diamonds.
Heaven....read about it...the streets r paved in gold
@@sandracrandall4561 Sounds functional to have a highly inert material like Gold for streets. Won't ever corrode or stain. They must not need many people to maintain the streets in this place you speak of.
@@stephaniesadie832 Even our Sun would have them. All we need to do is develop TDO Starlifting and we'll get them and more.
Alexandrite, Bixbite, Red Beryl, Pink Diamonds, Red Diamonds, Blue Diamonds, Black Opal, are more rare and more expensive than half of the examples stated here.
A gemologist friend of mine, is friends and colleagues with the site holder of the Argyle mines in Australia where they mine the red diamonds and the mine has been closed for many years, he told me. Makes red diamonds even more rare. The red diamonds are tiny because that's the way they come out of the mines.
What it comes down to is this, They are just ROCKS!!
Why wasn’t alexandrite mentioned?
Love the way you included an index of gems with timestamps and info!!!!! Thank you!
The difference between the way that the stones look in their raw mineral form and their gemstone form, makes me believe there are many deposits of them that go unrecognized and never inserted into the gemstone economy.
my engagement ring is raw tanzanite. I love how unique it is. I am definitely not a diamond girl.
Who made this list? Herkimer diamonds are not expensive at all, they are quartz! Now I don't trust this whole list
Nor do I...they were also wrong about which gemstone has the highest per carat value...just saying. The most expensive gemstone in the world didn't even make this list. Lol
Did I miss sapphire?
I don't know how I got here but I'm laughing at the voice over 😜 what a plonker
not to mention burmese rubies being so valuable that they cost more than a million dollars per carat....I bet he just looked up "most expensive ruby ever sold" and then decided to divide that price by carat weight or something.
I know, I have many Herkimer diamond, including ones with petroleum trapped inside...and I am most definitely not rich! Also, Paraiba Tourmaline wasn't on this list and certain coloured ones of these have sold recently for £1m a carat.
Bull! Herkimer are not more valuable than diamonds. They are quartz crystals. That's all.
You mentioned the Argyle mine in Australia but not the fact that it produced pink diamonds almost exclusively. It has been shut down for some years now so I’m sure anything from it is going to increase in value.
Yes Tom I agree. The Argyle mine has been closed. They are promoting investment diamond portfolios beginning at 20k
I also have a fondness for blue diamonds and Tanzanite jadeite. All are great for investment and collection.
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.
. zzzzzz zzz_
My husband and l worked at Argyle mine when it was first started, way back in 1982.Famous for pink ,yellow, smoky and black diamonds.
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...
Pearls were the most expensive then. Research it
Ok, but tell me with a straight face that expertly cur diamonds aren't some of the most beautiful things a human eye can behold... That's what they are to me and a hell of a lot of people
A lot has to do with the elite making it 'valuable ' ...diamonds have many sources ..there are many gemstones which have literally single sources which should make it more valuable ..
I personally live coloured gemstones over transparent diamonds
Lab grown diamonds are everywhere now mined diamonds are not
i could die for telling you the exact value of stones is determined by their harmonic value first
Nah the general market cares more for the four cs
>"15 gemstones more expensive than diamonds"
>3 of them are just different colored diamonds.
I agree 👍
true
I am learning so much from watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing source of information. This one is quite helpful.
As per the fire opal you showed every opal except fire opal. There was boulder opal, black opal and a variety of other Austrailian opals when you mentioned Fire Opal.
No big fan of the Ridge, after mining and cutting for ten years in Mintabie, but I'll grant you that your fire opal IS damn nice.
Thumbnail looking like Minecraft diamonds
Blue diamonds and Burma rubies, including fire opals are my favorite besides and quality red garnet.
Red Garnet✅💯✅💯
Yes garnet is my birtg, birthstone but I never knew about Tsavorite or Dimantoid Garnet fill I watched JTV. Hope to get some one day.
It's nice to hear that Jiminy Glick has a job narrating UA-cam videos.
98 percent of daimonds are locked up to keep price very high
Herks, worth more than diamonds? No, don't think so. Enhydros go for similar prices and the ones included with petroleum that are UV reactive can be a bit expensive too. Pretty interesting video though.
I agree - ive sold heaps for like $30 each n thats big ones - unless ive been a mug!
@@beingme437 I'd probably be interested in buying some!
quite a lot of bs in this video.
Herkimer diamonds are just quartz. Not that expensive.
Yep. Dirt cheap and plentiful.
Yeah! I have some here that I paid one and two dollars for
I have several herkimer diamonds bought from the local crystal shop. Cost a few dollars.
Yeah, it makes me wonder about the other minerals on the list
@@maryrawle7448 same
Fire opal in Indonesia...one of the most great gemstone 😊🔥
Nice posts, thanks for sharing & Godspeed!
Beautiful! I want 1 of each!😊💗💙💚💎
I remember seeing some stones of those stones like some of those around my home in the 70s, 80s and 90s. The top soil is very little because underneath is all marla a building material that we would have to buy if we didn't have it. At times I saw stones looking like crystal a beige looking stone or salt looking one. Everytime I see these gems I always reflect on them. And I wondered if they were real gem stones.
Most likely were , check out what kind of crystals can be found in your state, I just went to the upper part of the lower peninsula & found all kinds of crystals. Maybe not expensive gemstones what you saw was most likely a variety of quartz!
In reference to the ad preceding this video.. I watched January 6th live on UA-cam as it happened and I never saw any destruction of property other than the fact that two windows got broken out and to me they were dressed like antifa people while the crowd shouted, "Stop them, antifa, stop them". I was marching in front of our state capitol that day demanding an audit before the certification as well.
where are you
I have magnetite stone anyone interested should chat me
I would expect to see Ammolite in here! But definitely a great list!
Very very good information about the Gem stone for the knowledge as well as for the Education
I'm a big fan of demantoid garnets, myself.😍🥰 That bright chartreuse with neon yellow-to-green fire is not something you see every day. Quality stones are becoming even rarer and every one I've seen with any sort of color variation (from a light pale mint to a chrom diopside green) is obscenely expensive.😝🤷♀️
I have a ring that has a blue diamond and regular diamonds-it is stunning
You didn’t mention the padaparadasha sapphire
Most of these precious stones that they were shown and mentioned we do have them in my locality ( northern part of Nigeria)more especially tanzanite, topaz,quarandum etc.
Amazing, Fascinating, Breathtaking. Thank you guys for this video, very well done❣️
You're welcome ramona, you seem Smart lady...
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.
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.
Love how it is more expensive than diamonds, then the first one is a diamond
Kashmir blue sapphire is one of the rarest gemstones on the planet
The natural red diamond held at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC blows that out the water. 😉
This list has to be re-examined. There are several gems, rare and expensive that belong on it: for example Alexandrite - gem rarely bigger than 5ct, color change from blue green into raspberry red without any under-colors would cost over $2M/ ct! The other stone- translucent apple green Jade, coveted by Chinese above any other gem.
got my two tiny mexican fire opals for over $400. love them to death!
Diamonds are so common. There are so many more BEAUTUFUL than diamonds.
You forgot paraiba tourmaline 30k per ct
what you said about Tanzanite isn't true, it is found in more places than just in Tanzania, that is just where it was first discovered. It is also found in California and a couple of other places.
Tanzanite is only in Tanzania, Zoisite which Tanzanite is part of is what you are seeing from other places.
Tanzanite is considered a One source Stone if they find it in other places like California or someplace else like you just said that's a fluke as true gem quality tanzanite it's just about all mind out
"The market and how much some is willing to pay can also determine their price" 14:30
Ummmm no, that is what determines their price
I am not sure of the Herkimer Diamonds. My friend has went to the Herkimer diamond mines in New York and sold me some for a few dollars, I have also seen them for sale for a couple bucks online.
Our farm has diamonds and my grandfather has a collection of different crystals. He doesn't wanna sell them nor let people knw about them
It’s funny how all these diamonds are from 3 world countries….. but mostly sold in 1st world countries 🤔
Herkimer diamond is also found in Herkimer County, New York, USA . USA is not a 3rd world country last I checked.
Here are actually beautifully colored diamonds that are found all over the world ..and colored diamonds, yellow, chocolate, pink, are worth more than colorless diamonds Moissanite is only a little bit less hard than a diamond and the clarity makes them sparkle more.
Tanzanite is my favorite crystal, I need to buy more before it doesn’t exist and becomes too expensive
It is a lie
"15 Gemstones More Expensive Than Diamonds"
Names 4 diamonds in that list...
Do you have any information or knowledge about Natural Ruby with Amphibolite-Zoisite?
Benitoite is a fun one.
Edit: oh crap I didn't realize Jeremejevite is on here. I have one crystal specimen of that.
I have a 1.07 carat Ruby I purchased a little over 20 years ago while living in India. I was told it was….is from Burma. It has never been placed in a setting and has been sitting in the Bank all these years. Just don’t know what to do with it.
Don't keep it locked up and hidden.
Find a excellent jeweler and have a ring or pendant made from it.
Show it off.
Otherwise it's beauty just goes to waste.
I am a fan of selling it for gold. Find out how much ruby is by the carat and go from there.
Get it verified and inscribed by GIA, then a appraisal on it.
Most common quality color runs about $12K, higher quality runs $35k, top is appraised separately and is regularly seen $150K on the lower end, $300K being average at current values.
That would make the most beautiful pendant, set in gold & surrounded by brilliants. Don't make it languish in a vault, make something from it.
If you're scared someone will steal it, then insure it & tell people it's fake.
Diamonds have never been billed as the most expensive, just the hardest.
Under heat I think these Gem stones with pressure and after billions of years inside water water is really turned into gemstones
I work at a gem shop and we sell small Herkimer diamonds for like 10 dollars each so idk about that first one
Let me buy some my guy 🥲
Don't tell me that I was living on gemstone bed and I didn't know until it's too late.

Out of all the stones. I have seen a tanzanite ring. It was my favorite color. It was out of my price budget so I couldn't buy it. Thank you for the important information.
Propaganda to raise the price. Brainwashing
I cant remember off hand the crystal. I call it a star crystal. It got violet hues with a 8 bronged white star shining at it center. Its extremely rare. I'll have to find the name of it.
Got it, its a star ruby.
I Love The Purple and Blue Heart💙💜
PSA Herkimer Diamonds are not even close to being more expensive than diamonds. They are an order of magnitude less expensive- even for the best ones. They are lovely stones- they are just not more expensive (per ct / similar diamond).
3000% wrong on Herkimer diamond
Correction 3000% Correct
Awesome, If I find any of these there going to a museum period after I name'em let me explain, why something like these is something is beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
You can't name them lol

Really cool
I have an opel pendant
Hi Sandra Pullen, How’re you doing
I love the NON Traditional stones and the Tanzanite & "fire Opals" I have just a few different Opals. I will have to keep my eye open for Benitoite & light blue diamonds.
You missed Morganite and Alexandrite
I've never been a fan of any colored gems, give me a clear, colorless diamond any day. I love the way they sparkle and catch the light plus the fact that they can be worn with anything and not clash. That's probably why they're almost always chosen for engagement rings.
Seriously ...I have 10000+ cts . of this material. From what I have seen in the market ...$10/ ct is at top retail.
Fire opals are worth the least of the Opals. Black opals are worth the most money. You also showed bolder opal and it’s completely different from fire opal. And you didn’t even mention pineapple opal which is one of the rarest!
Jeez… Pezzos, red beryls, jeremejevite- so much more rare and valuable
3:10 can this gemstone also be a greenish color? I remember some days ago finding something that looked like this, but when I shined a light on it, it shined green inside.
And I live in Norway
