Here’s the low down on a few of our favorite rare and exotic gemstones. Hopefully, by the time you’re done reading this, you’ll know exactly which rare stone you want to add to your own collection!

When it comes to rare and exotic, tanzanite easily tops the list. With its beautiful hues of blue and violet, it’s easy to see why it’s so extraordinary. The stone appears to have different colors when viewed from different angles, which increases its value.

Tanzanite stone is extremely rare because there is only one source; it comes from Tanzania. Additionally, geologists estimate the original supply will run out within 30 years, making it at least 1,000 times rarer than diamonds. Now if that’s not rare and exotic, we don’t know what is!

Shadowkite is so new that, except for Shop LC, this gemstone is not available on any home shopping network. This stone accepts a high polish when cut, revealing a beautiful luster. With swirls of baby blue, royal blue, light emerald green and pine green, shadowkite has a combination of four colors that can’t be found in any other stone. This beautiful matrix of colors is seen all throughout shadowkite. The only known source is from the Table Mountain region in South Africa. Be sure to get yours before it’s too late.

This exotic stone is very hard to mine because it forms in volcanic environments. The Shop LC gets its source of Bumble Bee Jasper from a live volcano in Indonesia–talk about hot! Because of the volatile and sulfuric gases surrounding the volcano’s environment, it is hazardous to obtain this rare stone. These dangerous gases are also what give this jasper its beautiful and rich color. Because of the combination of colors, Bumble Bee Jasper makes a beautiful statement stone for jewelry. Pair it with neutrals to make your outfit pop!

There is only one place to find Larimar, and it’s within one square kilometer of the Dominican Republic! This makes it one of the rarest gemstones in the world. Mining this exotic stone is extremely difficult because the location of the mine is hard to reach and the area is subject to hurricanes. This thing has to be something special for all of that work!
If you’re fortunate enough to get your hands on one of these gemstones, you’ll find that it’s 100 percent natural and no treatment has been done to it. Larimar’s pretty blue swirls would make a great addition to a boho chic look.

This stone is also called blue tourmaline, which is the rarest kind of tourmaline. The bluer the hue, the better the quality. The biggest source of this gemstone is found in Brazil. And indicolite coming from the mines of Monte Belo are among the finest. Incorporating this stone into your outfit is easy because its radiant color adds beauty to any look.

In fashion, it’s all too easy to fade into the background. By adding some unique and exotic gemstones every once in a while, you’ll keep your style fresh and on trend.
