Most Expensive Gemstones in the World | TOP 10

#5 Jadeite – $20.000 per carat

First of all, let’s get things straight! Jadeite is not the semi-precious stone known as Jade.

Jadeite is much more rare and implicitly, much more valuable.

In 1997, a Jadeite necklace known as ‘Doubly Fortunate’ was sold for $9.3 million at Christie’s auction house.

Other articles said that Jadeite sells for $3 million per carat, but that’s completely false.

The ‘Doubly Fortunate’ had an estimated weight of 500 carats, leading to a price of $20.000 per carat.

Musgravite is used to make amazing engagement rings. You’ll love it!
