The 2.15 carats Taaffeite presented here is a gemstone of exceptional rarity and scientific interest, originating from the historically rich geological landscapes of Burma. Taaffeite is a unique mineral, known for its distinctive position in the beryllium aluminum oxide family and its scarce occurrence in nature. Discovered serendipitously by gemologist Richard Taaffe in 1945, Taaffeite has since been recognized as one of the rarest gemstones, often found as a byproduct in gem gravels and misidentified as spinel due to their similar appearance.
This particular specimen, weighing an impressive 2.15 carats, exemplifies the fascinating interplay of its crystallographic and optical properties. The gemstone exhibits a captivating blend of subtle violet to lilac hues, characteristic of its intricate crystal lattice and trace elements. Its notable birefringence, a distinguishing feature from spinel, results in a mesmerizing visual phenomenon where the viewer is treated to a dual display of refracted light, enhancing its allure.
The gem’s provenance, Burma (Myanmar), adds a layer of historical and geological significance. Burma is renowned for producing some of the world’s most exquisite gemstones, and this Taaffeite is no exception. Its formation in the region’s unique geological conditions, marked by high pressures and temperatures over millennia, contributes to its remarkable quality and rarity.
From a gemological perspective, this Taaffeite’s transparency, well-defined crystal structure, and minimal inclusions underscore its high quality. The meticulous faceting and polish further enhance its natural brilliance and fire, making it an exceptional specimen for both collectors and connoisseurs.
In conclusion, the 2.15 carats Taaffeite from Burma is not merely a gemstone but a testament to nature's extraordinary ability to create beauty under the most precise conditions. Its rarity, combined with its captivating optical properties and historical significance, renders it a prized addition to any distinguished collection.

Waarom overbieden gebruikers zichzelf?
Wanneer een bod wordt geplaatst, is dit het maximale bedrag dat een persoon bereid is te bieden voor het product. Ons systeem zal dan automatisch bieden namens de bieder, waarbij het bod stapsgewijs wordt verhoogd tot het maximum om hun positie als hoogste bieder te behouden.
Wanneer er een pictogram is dat 'Automatisch bod' aangeeft, betekent dit dat ons systeem actief biedingen plaatst voor de bieder op basis van hun maximale bod. Dit kan lijken alsof bieders zichzelf overbieden, maar het is gewoon een resultaat van het systeem dat het bod bijwerkt om de maximale limiet van de bieder weer te geven.
