We would not recommend these stones for a beginning portfolio as it's probably smarter to focus on Burma gems. However, these gems might be pursued to diversify a larger collection. Here are six rare gemstones and one colored diamond.
"It is often said that women love diamonds. In fact, many opt for a solitaire as an engagement ring instead of going for other precious stones. However, with time, traditions change and so do desires. So if you are planning to propose to your beloved, why not go for gemstones that are rarer than diamonds? And, we are certain they will make not just women feel special but men, too.
While gemstones like emeralds, sapphires, rubies and coloured diamonds are expensive and come in various cuts and ranges — often flaunted by celebrities too — you will have to splurge to possess rare gems like jadeite, alexandrite, red beryl and black opal."
