Strange Stone Worth More Than Most People’s Homes

Painite

Credits

In the 1950s, mineralogist Arthur C.D. Paine found this orange-brown stone in Myanmar. Since then, only two painite specimens are known to exist, which makes this the world’s rarest gemstone.

Because of this, the chance of finding painite on the market is very slim. However, if you do, it will cost around $50,000 – $60,000 per carat.
