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.

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