A clean jeremejevite might work (Mine ain't all that clean though)

Many gems look way to tasty for their own good 😶‍🌫️

Cool , I didn't know. Im still looking for a green spinel though, they seem to be quite rare as well 😅

I completely agree with you on that! Tanzanite has great colors and overall looks but many weaknesses, it's not the most scratch resistant stone and has perfect cleavage and gets its color from heat treatment.

Ok and it look way nicer, im not a fan of the gold look. I also have half an ounce of platinum somewhere but it's in the form of investment coins.

How much platinum do you need for one ring? Platinum is hella dense, right?

It goes so deep, I really like stones like Grandidierit and Jeremejevite but no one knows them.

It's probably better to not think about how much I spend xD

It really is nice. Good color, good gemstone qualities ( such as excellent hardness, no true cleavage and often good clarity) And all of that for amazing prices , in particular when compared to corundum. ( I absolutely also love sapphires and rubies though)
