These ARE incredibly beautiful stones, but the second most important stone ever found and displayed is the 2.3 carat blue sapphire I gave my wife on our tenth anniversary. And the most important gem ever found? When I found my wife, I knew an important gem when I saw her.

It was refreshing to learn about the pearl in the group. Beautiful stone. Marie Antoinette had taste!

The Bixbit crystal (red Beryll) presented along the story about the big oval cut ruby is extremly beautiful. 💎

very good video about the rarest diamonds.

I think Graff Pink was my favorite of them all. Although it could be because of a decent video footage and good lighting and angles. But they were all pretty amazing anyway. Gemstones have always been very fascinating to me 😁

[Krptokrayon]

The Cullinan diamond isn't listed. Its estimated at 500M.

[cilirhammersteel]

Sad how diamonds go for a lot of money when they're the most abundant gemstone in the world and isn't worth the price they are sold for.

[robinhumphrey]

I’ll take the Sunrise Ruby, please and thank you!!!

[theworldme]

The only one I don't like how it is cut is, The Pink Star. Maybe because it has to many points on it. It's definitely different looking. I bet it is prettier in person, but on video, it looks weird.

[andreesandahl]

Starting to think these gems are the asset of choice for crooks of all sorts.

[johnlewisbrooks]

The thing that astonished me is the fact that only until fairly recently diamonds and other precious stones weren't popular. Pearls were!

[MiiFone]

Correction, diamonds are not the most expensive precious stones it is rubies that hold that title.

[fredscott]

Wow! They are all truly amazingly stunning! Thanks for this video!

[rosalinaayala]

The provenance of some diamonds is carefully hidden since the owners don’t want anyone to know they are blood diamonds that warlords acquired by beating and sometimes killing natives in Africa .

According to the Guinness Book World Record, painite is the world’s most rare gemstone and the world’s most rare mineral. Alexandrite is kinda more rare than diamond as well. When it comes to the rarity of color in diamond, red is the most rare.

The the koh i noor and cullinan diamond is the most expensive gems in the world, they make up part of the crown jewels of Great Britain.
