The 0.30 carats Painite gemstone offered here is a specimen of profound rarity and scientific intrigue, hailing from the illustrious gem-producing regions of Burma (Myanmar). Painite, identified as one of the world’s rarest minerals, was first discovered in the 1950s by British gemologist Arthur C.D. Pain, after whom it is named. Initially misidentified as a variety of tourmaline, Painite’s unique mineralogical properties were later uncovered, establishing it as a distinct and exceedingly scarce borate mineral.
This 0.30 carats Painite crystal embodies the exceptional characteristics that make this gemstone highly coveted among collectors and gemologists alike. Exhibiting a rich, deep reddish-brown hue with subtle undertones of orange, this Painite demonstrates the gem’s unique ability to display pleochroism—where different colors are observed from different angles. This optical phenomenon is a direct result of its complex crystal structure and the presence of trace elements such as iron and chromium.
Burma’s geological formations have long been recognized for producing some of the most remarkable and rare gemstones. The specific conditions in which Painite forms—high-pressure environments rich in boron—contribute to its extreme rarity. Painite’s rarity is compounded by the fact that it was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s rarest gemstone, with only a handful of specimens known to exist.
From a gemological standpoint, this 0.30 carats Painite showcases exceptional clarity and minimal inclusions, a testament to its pristine quality. The precision cutting and polishing techniques applied to this gemstone amplify its natural luster and brilliance, making it an exquisite piece for any esteemed collection.
In summary, the 0.30 carats Painite from Burma is not just a gemstone but a rare geological marvel that encapsulates the beauty and complexity of Earth’s natural processes. Its extraordinary rarity, coupled with its stunning optical properties and historical significance, makes it a treasured addition to any connoisseur’s collection.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
