Why Are Rare Gemstones Still the Perfect Gift?

Every person usually loves to receive jewelry as a gift. It’s an intimate way to express how much the recipient means to the person giving it. When a rare gemstone is in the jewelry, there’s usually a reason behind the choice of rare gemstone, often only known between the gift giver and the recipient. So, if you’re thinking of showing someone how much you care, here are some reasons why rare gemstones still make the perfect gift.

Since time immemorial, diamonds have been objects of desire and wealth. Some people say they have healing properties, but almost everyone recognizes they are associated with declarations of love. Diamonds are traditionally the stone chosen for an engagement ring. They can come in a beautiful array of colors, including yellow, brown, pink, and blue. However, hues that present themselves outside of the typical color range that include saturated shades of pink, blue and green, along with colorless diamonds, are considered the rarest. The red diamond, in particular, is a unique item to gift another because of its rarity. This is because a quirk in the diamond’s structure gives the red diamond its unique color. Red diamonds do not have the presence of a chemical impurity like in some other colored diamonds. 

Living in a world that never seems to sleep, as the internet and social media allow us to interact with others, work and purchase items at any time of the day or night, there are times when we all need to take a break and return to what’s important to us. Known as the Stone of Connectivity because of its high vibrations, Moldavite is a great rare gemstone to help us achieve this grounding, whether in the form of necklaces made from Moldavite or rings. This green-colored rare and natural gemstone only originates from the Czech Republic and will enable you to centralize your chakra or just to take time out to breathe and take in your surroundings.

This gemstone is said to help with mental health and healing. It is also said to help you discover your true self if you’re open to this experience. It is considered a stone of the heart because it opens your heart chakra and maintains its balance so that you will give love and happiness to your loved ones. A gift of Moldavite that says, “I care about your well-being because I love you,” is something special to receive.

Tourmaline is a perfect gemstone to gift if the person you know is prone to negative emotional transference, whether psychic or otherwise. Also known as schorl, black tourmaline is the most common of this uncommon mineral. Rare colors include copper-bearing ones and those in shades between vivid green and blue. Tourmaline is said to encourage happiness, good luck, and optimism in the wearer. Wearing the stone as a ring will enable them to experience metaphysical sensations, better connecting their mind and matter. It can be found in a number of countries around the world, including Pakistan, Australia, Africa, and Brazil. 

Said to be favored for instilling confidence and self-worth, carnelian activates the first three chakras to encourage passion, motivation, and progression. Its color varies from light pinkish-orange to deeper shades of rusty brown. Being worn as necklaces by ancient warriors to overcome their enemies with their strength and courage, carnelian has been worn for many centuries. Referred to as the “setting sun” by ancient Egyptians, its orange hues were associated with Isis and passive female energies, with its deeper red shades associated with male energy. Both reasons made carnelian considered a gemstone that encourages passion, love, and desire. For instance, presenting this gemstone in an item of jewelry to a loved one, like a necklace or bracelet, would be a declaration of intense love.

The pearl has been cultivated for thousands of years and is thought to be one of the earliest gemstones to be discovered since prehistoric times. Natural pearls are said to be extremely rare. One in over ten thousand wild oysters will yield a pearl said to be large enough and of good enough quality to entice jewelers to use it. Due to such natural beauty being a rare commodity, many pearls are cultured. This means that they were deliberately grown, as proposed to naturally, but they are nonetheless real.

Pearls are said to provide their wearers with wisdom and present them with the awareness of the divine. This rare gemstone is said to provide spiritual enlightenment to the wearer. Thought to be able to simulate the heart chakra, it’s the center of our compassion, empathy, love, and forgiveness.

Considered the world’s rarest gemstone mineral, Painite was only discovered in Burma in the 1950s. Painite was named after the person who discovered this gemstone, Arthur C. D. Pain, and is said to be rare because zirconium and borate rarely interact with one another. Being typically orangish-red, brownish red, pinkish brown, or very dark brown, it is thought to have high iron content the darker brown Painite is. But what is special about this gemstone is that it is pleochroic, meaning that it emits different hues depending upon which angle it is looked at when placed under shortwave ultraviolet light. 

Those who have or wear Painite have stated it helps alleviate pain, whether physical or mental and opens all chakras. Metaphysical properties said to be experienced include feeling higher vibrations, empowerment, clear negative thoughts from our mind, opens our heart, the third eye, and relaxes our solar plexus. When worn in combination with Moldavite, these feelings are said to intensify. 

Gemstones have different meanings to different people. These meanings often change over time, but what doesn’t is the special nature between giver and receiver of such a priceless gift. The gift of a rare gemstone is something that says the giver has thought specifically about you and wants to show how much you mean to them. With the different purposes that each gemstone has, each gifted gemstone is truly unique. You are a lucky person if someone thinks you’re that special someone in their life, so enjoy the moment and cherish your gemstone gift.
