Most Expensive Gemstones in the World | TOP 10

#7 Bixbite – $10.000 per carat

The red precious gem is also one of the rarest gemstones in the world, and one of the most expensive.

Also known as red emerald or red beryl, Bixbite was discovered in 1904, in Utah, by Lamar Hodges.
And the funny part is that it was discovered by accident.

Its chemical composition contains aluminum, silicon and, of course, berylium.

Did you know that Bixbite is so rare that a single piece is found for every 150.000 diamonds found.

Another interesting fact worth mentioning and also, you want to keep that in mind, Red Beryl is 1.000 more valuable than gold.

Prepare to view the most beautiful color changing gemstone in the world!
