Collection: Musgravite

Do you know the existence of Taaffeite, a gemstone popular as a collector's stone? However, there is a gem called Musgravite that is even rarer than Taaffeite.

Musgravite is a rare gemstone relative to taaffeite, and until more than a decade ago it was thought that it could only be distinguished by destructive testing. However, the use of Raman spectroscopy in recent years has made it possible to distinguish between these gems.

A quick reconciliation revealed another mineral within the spinel, which turned out to be the extremely rare taaffeite. Further investigation revealed that one stone in taaffeite was musgravite.

In addition, it is very rare to find musgravite in taaffeite, and it is said that one musgravite exists in dozens of taaffeite. Such rarity is a wonderful example of the depth of the world of gemstones.

In addition, musgravite has been confirmed in dozens of pieces around the world, and it is said that about 20 pieces have been confirmed in Japan. Moreover, most of the sizes are small, less than 0.5 carat.

Due to its rarity, if you find Musgravite, it is a rare stone that is the best choice to purchase first. The world of gems is really deep, and you will be aware of their rarity.
