About Taaffeite (Magnesiotaaffeite)
Taaffeite is one of the world's rarest gemstones, a beryllium magnesium aluminum oxide discovered in 1945 by Count Edward Charles Richard Taaffe who noticed that a stone he had purchased as spinel had anomalous optical properties due to its double refraction. It displays colors from colorless and pale mauve to green and purple, with most material coming from Sri Lanka and Tanzania. With fewer than 50 known faceted specimens in the world, taaffeite is among the rarest gems ever described.
