Buy Poudretteite – Poudretteite is one of the rarest known gemstones. It was named after the Poudrette family, the owners and operators of a quarry near Mont Saint-Hilaire in Quebec, Canada, where the mineral was first discovered.
The natural color of poudretteite varies from colorless to a saturated pink or violet. Manganese is the primary component in this gemstone, and it has a Mohs hardness of 5. The very rare poudretteites from Myanmar achieve gem quality in terms of transparency, color, and size and are traded as gemstones. However, due to its rarity, poudretteite is not a common gemstone. However, anyone who owns poudretteite knows that it is a good investment, as the value of rare gemstones is constantly increasing.

Good investment due to rarityGem-quality poudretteite only appeared on the market in the early 2000s, when a few specimens were discovered in Mogok, Burma. Some of the most valuable rubies are found there. Most of the poudretteite found has been mistaken for scapolite. Therefore, it is possible that poudretteite is not as rare as currently believed.
