Ilana Berger at MMFA:

Daily Wire hosts Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro falsely claimed that the U.S. has not been impacted by hurricanes this season, as the Gulf Coast braces for Hurricane Francine.  On September 9 on The Matt Walsh Show, Walsh said that there were “no hurricanes” this season, and that meteorologists who have warned the public about a potentially severe Atlantic hurricane season are “rooting for deadly storms to devastate your community.” Misleadingly citing a September 8 Washington Post article, Walsh said, “A funny thing happened during the historic hurricane season, and that is nothing. Nothing happened. There were basically, like — there were no hurricanes.” The next day, on September 10, Shapiro said on The Ben Shapiro Show of the impact of hurricanes: “As a Floridian, as a new Floridian, nothing. I mean, really nothing. … And it actually has been quite a light season, actually. There's never even really been sort of a threat to our side of Florida.” He added that, “There was one hurricane that hit to the Panhandle of Florida a little bit earlier on in the summer, and that was it.”

The idea that it has been a “light season” is false, even if storms have not been as frequent as predicted. On July 8, Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Texas, and knocked out power to 2.5 million homes. Beryl was the earliest forming Category 5 hurricane on record. The storm completely devastated the Caribbean islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique and killed 42 people in Texas alone, and more across the Yucatán Peninsula and the Caribbean. Hurricane Debby, which Shapiro dismissed, affected Florida and other eastern states in early August, and killed at least 8 people. Louisiana is currently bracing for Hurricane Francine to make landfall on the coast. According to Forbes, the 2024 season has so far been typical, not “light.”

Both Walsh and Shapiro used the false claim to insist that the theory of climate change must not be sound or settled science. In reality, scientists are in agreement that the warming climate has been driving more severe hurricanes, particularly because of increasingly dangerous flooding.  

Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh push climate denialist propaganda by falsely claiming that no hurricanes have hit the USA.

So far this North Atlantic hurricane season, at least three have struck somewhere in the USA (Beryl, Debby, and now Francine).

During WWII, a series of special editions of books were printed and distributed to the Armed Services. In perusing a list of these books, I found some titles that particularly stood out to me.

Mama’s Bank Account by Kathryn Forbes

My Friend Flicka by Mary O’Hara

No Life for a Lady by Agnes Morley Cleaveland

West with the Night by Beryl Markham

Lassie Come-Home by Eric Knight

At least two books each by Osa Johnson, Paul Gallico, C. S. Forester, Willa Cather, and Ngaio Marsh

At least two separate printings of Dracula by Bram Stoker

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

The Chicken-Wagon Family by Barry Benefield

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

Green Dolphin Street by Elizabeth Goudge

Busman’s Honeymoon by Dorothy L. Sayers

The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton

She Came Back by Patricia Wentworth

Looking at it from a modern perspective, it’s surprising to note some classics or contemporary works that didn’t make the list (Agatha Christie and Jane Austen were two that stood out to me, as did the entire rest of the Lord Peter series).

She became a friend of James Abbott McNeill Whistler (he produced three three-quarter-length portraits of her, including Lady in a Yellow Buskin, whilst her 1886 book Rainbow Music or The Philosophy of Harmony in Colour-Grouping was a much-influenced by his art) and produced several theatrical productions noted for their pastoral values, such as a Romeo and Juliet put on at Cadgwith, Cornwall in summer 1880 starring Helena Modjeska and Johnston Forbes-Robertson. Janey, Lady Archibald Campbell was described as beautiful, bewitching and eccentric, Oscar Wilde once described her as "The Moon Lady" with her beautiful beryl eyes.

Since I reviewed Episode 17 last week, I decided that it was high time I post a link to this post from Curt Ladnier’s wonderful Maljardin blog about Nonnie Griffin, who played one-episode wonder Beryl Forbes in the pilot. The article also contains an old newspaper clipping with interviews with both Griffin and Dawn Greenhalgh, who played Dr. Alison Carr.

Cool article, thanks for sharing! It's quite long so I've shared some lesser known bits and pieces about Sam, her family and their Anglo-Indian connection.

The Calcutta Bond

Denzil Mowbray Kerr was born in Calcutta in 1912 and was baptized at the St. Andrew’s Church in Calcutta. He was a metallurgist and a featherweight boxer for Bengal. His wife, Coral Beryl Kerr, affectionately known as ‘Nanna Kerr,’ was also born in Calcutta and played basketball.

Coral and Denzil’s son, Roger Alan Kerr, was born in the City of Joy in 1960. Coral and her late husband, Denzil, and son, Roger, arrived in Australia in the year 1969 by a flight which itself had a long journey. The BA 722’s historic route reads somewhat like this — it would depart from London and then fly to Dusseldorf, Beirut, Karachi, Calcutta, Singapore, Jakarta, Darwin, Sydney and its final destination was Auckland. The family of three settled in Fremantle, a suburb of Perth.

In a video shared by the Westfield Matildas’, Sam’s paternal grandmother, Coral, speaks about her family’s journey from India to Perth, Australia. “I think that we made a fantastic choice in coming to Australia because we were originally booked to go to England. But, the doctor said my husband wouldn’t make it because of the weather; it’s too cold. So, then we applied to come here. It’s just great. My husband just loved it, he thought it was absolutely marvellous. At that time, all the Anglo-Indians were leaving: some to Canada, some to England. We sent my younger sister to England and we were going to follow, but we never followed. So, she stayed over there – she’s been there for sixty years – and we’ve been here just over fifty.”

By moving from Calcutta to Perth in the late 1960s, the Kerr family has given Australia their golden girl. For many young female footballers, her story and the connection that Sam has with India strings an unusual yet melodious and harmonious chord.

Kimberly Fernandez, a central defender in Maharashtra’s senior women’s team, is a self-proclaimed fan of Sam. “I am a huge fan of Sam Kerr! When I read that she has Indian ancestry, more accurately through her dad who is Anglo-Indian, I was so excited because she then became someone I could also resonate with.”

While talking about pursuing football as a career and her success in the game, Kimberly feels Sam’s story can inspire many like her. “I’m Anglo-Indian and I play football here in India and so it struck a chord with me you know, if she can do it, I can too!”

Footballer and Indian Women’s League commentator, Mithila Ramani, believes such stories can boost the women’s game in India. “I think that people knowing this would give them that extra boost of having to look up to a player like Sam Kerr with similar roots and it would take away that inhibition that Indians aren’t as strong as the foreigners,” said Mithila.

“As a women’s football supporter and a Chelsea fan I’m very excited to watch Samantha Kerr play here in India next year. She’s one of the best in the game and I’ll consider myself very lucky if I get a chance to be at the stadium and watch her play in the AFC Asian Cup. She’s been exceptional in the WSL this season and I’m confident that she’ll continue this run with the Matildas and inspire the next generation of girls to play this beautiful game,” says Philarima Hynniewta who is a member of the Chelsea FC Women’s Supporters Shillong.

Sam, herself, is looking forward to visiting India. Ahead of the Champions League final, she told Asif Burhan in an interview for Forbes, “My Indian heritage is something I’m really proud of and I know my nanna’s really proud that I’m representing young Indian girls whenever I go out there and play. I think (reaching the final) was a really cool moment for my nan, and my family over here that is English, they’re really proud of me too. I hope it inspires young girls. We have the Asian Cup coming up in India next year so, fingers crossed, everything goes well in India and we can still get out there. I’ve never been to India. It’s something that I definitely want to get involved in, learning about my Indian heritage and culture.”

Bitcoin Is So Money: Legal Classifications of Cryptocurrency

By Jennifer Kuo, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Class of 2020

July 31, 2020

For years, Bitcoin has been the butt of many jokes and internet memes, the absurd idea of money that is virtual yet usable and long, esoteric words like “cryptocurrency” and “blockchain” leading to connotations of it being something that belongs to the realm of the Loch Ness monster or the “dark web.” The indictment of Larry Dean Harmon, who was accused of laundering millions in Bitcoin and using it to facilitate black market dealings of drugs and firearms, has further damaged the reputation of the currency. However, recently, the federal court in Washington D.C. ruled that Bitcoin should be considered a form of “money” under the Money Transmitters Act, establishing how the cryptocurrency is regulated for money transmission purposes. This recent ruling is in line with the Harmon indictment, as Harmon had argued back in 2019 that since Bitcoin was not considered “money” under MTA, his platform was not, technically by law, considered laundering.

Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell wrote that based on the definition that money “commonly means a medium of exchange, method of payment, or store of value,” Bitcoin as a currency must be defined legally as “money.” The ruling does not change the results of the Harmon indictment, nor is it expected to majorly impact Bitcoin’s treatment in the market, but it is a step forward for cryptocurrency’s regulatory recognition. Since companies trading Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are required to obtain money transmission licenses from the states they are operating in, the decision has added more stability and clarity to the legal treatment of these currencies [1].

Beyond this particular court case, Bitcoin has been making strides in gaining legal legitimacy. This past week, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) also announced that national banks and federal savings associations are now allowed to provide custody services for cryptocurrency to their customers. The OCC argues that such custody services, including “holding unique cryptographic keys” are simply modern forms of traditional bank activities that these institutions already perform. The current Acting Comptroller Brian P. Brooks, a former chief legal officer for the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, indicated that as more and more Americans own cryptocurrency, banks must continue to safeguard these assets and respond to changing needs [2]. This announcement also includes providing banking services to crypto-oriented businesses, a remarkably liberal embrace of the cryptocurrency industry. Because the OCC is a well-established regulatory body, it is expected that other, more cautious regulators would follow suit, enabling the continued growth of cryptocurrencies with less legal barriers. Furthermore, up until now Silvergate bank was the only banking service that provided banking to cryptocurrency clientele, forcing many businesses to use risky, offshore services. The announcement will make it easier for cryptocurrency firms to fulfill their asset management and payment processing needs [3].

For years, virtual currencies have not been under comprehensive federal regulation. There have been certain agencies, namely FinCEN, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), that have provided guidelines on the usage of these currencies. For example, FinCEN, under the Department of the Treasury, has mostly leveraged the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) as a standard, subjecting “exchangers” and “administrators” to legal regulation. There are two major exemptions that prevent certain activities from being defined under “money transmission” and therefore subject to BSA regulations, but any blockchain-based processing would not allow for use of the exemptions. Only entities that operate only through clearance and settlement systems that admit BSA-regulated financial institutions can use the exemption; blockchain technology inherently allows for transactions to happen with non-BSA-regulated parties [4].

National governments are also beginning to release their own versions of digital currencies, termed central bank digital currency (CBDC). According to a 2019 survey by the Bank for International Settlements, more than 80% of central bank respondents reported fiat-backed CBDC projects in progress, including China’s digital yuan and the Facebook-initiated Libra. The breakthrough of these recent CBDC initiatives is their retail-focus—rather than focusing on financial institutions, they seek to make accounts available directly to consumers and businesses. There are many regulatory benefits to issuing digital currency. Among them, it is expected that CBDC’s have the potential to increase the tax base and limit tax evasion. They also present unique technological opportunities for financial regulators, increasing transparency in examining global spending, and providing new and flexible monetary policy levers. However, there are some legal concerns as well, especially concerning privacy and security breaches. There is ambiguity as to how many safeguards are written into the blockchain encryption, and further thought must be given to how fraud could be detected and corrected within the system [5].

This past week’s court ruling has taken an additional step in propelling Bitcoin use to the mainstream. It is expected that in coming years cryptocurrency-related regulations will continue to evolve and solidify.

#SMWiAccra 2017 and my keynote about influence.

(First things first: s/o to Beryl at EchoHouse for putting together this event. Everything is perfectible but as a first edition, I’ve seen great things done. And it has to be given to her. )

I was invited to talk about content, and how influencers are monetizing their influence. So I had to show examples of people making a serious amount of money out of Ghana because as it stands in Ghana nor brand or bloggers or celebrity seems to be doing the right thing to monetize influence.

This will be a long post, but as I’ve been asked by several different people to get the “slides” of my keynote, I decided to summarise my speech in a text. I think that there’s no point to having my slides if you can’t get the references and the thought process behind them so hopefully, this post might help more.

Before I start: we will do the same exercise made at SMW: for the duration of this post, we will not consider the word “bullshit” profanity because no other word in the world can work the same way in this context.

The title of my keynote was “The Bullshit Industrial Complex.” As explained the title was borrowed and inspired by an extremely compelling article I read on 99U about the creative industry being self-referential. It was the perfect headline for the message I wanted to send about the wrong perception of influence in this country ( and not only ).

At the beginning of this year, I wrote a couple of posts on LinkedIn after a company called Clique Africa published the ranking of the most influential social media personalities and brands in Ghana with title “THE INFLUENCE ISSUE: GHANA, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN QUALITY AND QUANTITY AND ME ROLLING MY EYES SO BAD.”

The point I was making is that influence cannot solely be considered from a quantitative perspective, but it has to be defined from a qualitative one as well.

In the context of what I was asked to talk about at #SMW was important to make people understand the impact of quality if you want to have a chance to monetize your  “influence” and your social media presence as an “influencer” through partnerships with brands.

I like the definition of influence that I found in an old article in Forbes, which says:

“Influence = Audience Reach (# of followers) x Brand Affinity (expertise and credibility) x Strength of Relationship with Followers.”

These are parameters which should be considered by brands when they decide to invest in influencers. Most of the times they look only for the fan base, and that’s how we get the wrong ranking of the most influential people/brands in Ghana.

“Influential ” for a brand cannot be equal to “famous”: if “famous” is for the wrong reasons, the damage to your brand will be much bigger than the “impressions” you got. And if you as an influencer lose credibility, you will lose your money: no need to mention Tiger Woods, and many others after him, who lost sponsorships because of their loss of credibility.

To define who is an influencer I love to use a clip from a 2010 short documentary which I think is still absolutely legit: “INFLUENCERS: how trends and creativity become contagious.”

What I think is important to understand is that an influencer doesn’t hop on a trend, s/he creates the trend. And to do so, s/he has to create an impact on the culture. Whatever culture … unfortunately even trash culture if you want, but you still have to be impactful.

When brands have the luck to meet this kind of human beings able to take something that is not in mainstream consciousness and make it mainstream, they have to create the longest possible partnership with them, because they have the chance to become iconic together.  See whoever works with Pharrell Williams, or think about Michael Jordan.

Henceforth INFLUENCERS ≠ BULLSHITTERS. Now when I say this, I don’t mean to say that influential people are only severe people with conscious thoughts. But the more they are consistent in their truth, the more they are influential. Read: I don’t think the Kardashians will help us to save the world, but I can’t deny their influence in the modern society.

However, giving a Ghanaian context to the evolution of the digital world, it’s sad to say, I see a circus where everyone is trying to gain likes in the worst ways. If I were a brand, I would look more for micro influencers who can add value with content and who can become very significant in the upcoming years considering how music/fashion/art are growing fast and gaining international attention.

What makes these Ghanaian micro influencers more impactful than big mainstream artists/bloggers, is the power of their content and their storytelling.

I have to talk about two examples of people defined “most influential” in Ghana: John Dumelo and Ameyaw Debrah. Because being the “most influential” celebrity and the “most influential” blogger, right now they should be making money after their influence ( real money ), but they are not making what Rihanna makes from Puma, aren’t they?

Thanks for the wonderful service @telefonikaghana 😇😇

My question in the room was: how many of you feel the urgency to run to Telefonika and buy something after seeing this post? No one raised his hand. We got the same reaction after using an Ameyaw Debrah picture, except that he was in the room and he didn’t like it.

When you arrive at a certain level of notoriety, and you start being tapped by corporations, you have to be careful not to lose the ability to connect with the culture and to influence people for real and don’t become self-referential. If your selfies are a constant masturbation about what you are doing without any story to tell, you will keep getting paid peanuts, and you will never be able to start a real partnership with meaningful brands.

The kind of influencers big brands want to work with don’t conform, don’t follow the rules, they challenge the culture saying “what if," they have the power to become role models. Unfortunately, at this moment, brands in Ghana don’t seem to be ready to engage real partnerships with influencers who are telling different stories, but they will, and that’s why I always love to show Kanye West speech at the 2016 MTV VMA about the power of role models “aka” influencers.

After working for years with different brands in Ghana I recognize the mistake of “counting the impressions, not the impressed” and that makes them go where the big numbers are without evaluating the real influence.

If I think as a brand about who I would invest in, there are so many better ideas than a blogger with a lot of followers but no credible image, posting offensive content, revenge porn and showing off a lifestyle that doesn’t exist.

I presented some examples which are not an exhaustive list of the amazing people I could have mentioned, I keep thinking about people I left out, but I wanted to focus on influencers who can take some brands on a different level if they decide to run together in the long term. Partnership with the right influencer is the future. Frankly, when a blogger comes with a “price list” for a blog post, I want to kill myself. Give me a story to tell, that’s priceless.

What these people I mentioned have, is content. Their image is content; their life is content, their behavior is content, their art is content. And what brands desperately need is content, because people don’t want to deal with your product they want to deal with people’s stories interacting with your product story naturally and organically. That’s branded content.

Serge Attukwei Clottey, Bright Ackwerh, Dj Steloo, Poetra Asantewa, Darko Vibes, Worlasi, Kobby Graham, the Black Girls Glow collective, Crazinist, Efua Sutherland, Papa Oppong and Mukase Chic. I could have added many more… from Accra We Dey to the Serrallio crew (yes they are influencers ), from Official Kwame to Francis Kokoroko, from Stefania Manfreda to Wanlov, from M.anifest to Ria Boss to Adomaa… I was just giving examples of beautiful stories to tell, I wasn’t saying they are the only ones. However, those I mentioned make me want to tell their stories and they have an image so powerful that stands out and were good examples. And the reason why they stand out it’s because there’s nothing fake about what they are doing. There’s authenticity in their message.

Authenticity is what counts when you have to work with a brand/agency as an influencer. As Shelly Lazarus said once: “Here’s the thing: I hate it when people talk about personal brand.  Those words imply that people need to adopt identities that are artificial and plastic and packaged, when what actually works is authenticity.  One of the fabulous things I’ve enjoyed about my career is collaborating with so many leaders across different industries and countries, and without exception the successful ones have been comfortable in their own skin.”

When brands and influencers partner up compellingly, you can get content like what recently Quincy Jones has done for JBL: I don’t see him inviting anyone to buy the headphones in the entire series of documentaries… but it’s more effective than an advert.

My suggestion to blogger and influencers is, if brands and agencies are not ready yet to come up with good ideas for you, go and present a project, go and show your content and how they can use it to improve their brand. If you keep going and begging for small money, they will never consider you when big money will come.

And to conclude, all of us have a responsibility when is about not to give to bullshitters the power they think they have “We all bear responsibility in the war against bullshit. We should discourage bullshitters by resisting the temptation to cave to the clickbait and contribute to page views.”

Quick notes: I never said anything against Shatta Wale; I said if you want to deal with someone mainstream you have to be sure he is representing your brand in the right way to the right target audience. But if the mainstream artist is taking a lot of money to represent a brand and then decides to open his mouth and bite the hand which is paying him, the brand should sue his ass even if the person is Shatta Wale.

I have nothing against John Dumelo, we are actually friendly, and I usually tell him the same things I presented when I meet him or talk to him. He never gets offended. Au contraire Ameyaw Debrah seems to feel like bringing examples of people doing a better job than he does, means to insult Ghana. But all I am actually trying to say is that Ghana artists are as excellent as the foreign ones, deserve the same money and recognition, and they have to start to get what they deserve stepping up the game regarding content. Whoever keeps asking for few cedis to post whatever bullshit a brand asks for, is not doing any favor to his country and the industry.

I have said nothing against Worlasi; I actually compared him to Kanye so the person in the room who had the great idea to tell him I was dissing him on stage, should find the way to open his mind when I speak.

I guess I will see you at the next Social Media Week, in the meantime if anyone is interested in continuing this conversation somewhere else, I think you know where to find me. 

Cheers!

Unmasking a Company That Wants to Unmask Us All

For at least 10 years, which is how long I’ve been reporting on privacy, people have worried about a facial recognition app that could end anonymity.

I joined The New York Times as a technology reporter in July, but back in 2011, when I was reporting for Forbes Magazine, I attended a workshop at the Federal Trade Commission, where attendees discussed the rules that should govern the commercial development of facial recognition. Everyone agreed that companies should not make an application that could identify anyone at anytime.

“A mobile app that could, in real-time, identify anonymous individuals on the street or in a bar could cause serious privacy and physical safety concerns,” the commission said in a report that came out after the workshop.

In November, I found out that an app capable of doing what many had feared did exist. A small, little-known company called Clearview AI, which I wrote about in a front-page article, had scraped the open web, collected billions of photos of people, and made an app that could show you all the images it had of a person, along with links to the sites where they came from. It was equal parts desirable and terrifying: technology that could put a name to a face in seconds and dig up photos of you online that you didn’t know existed. But only law enforcement agencies seemed to know about and be using it.

I wanted to learn as much as I could about Clearview AI, including who was behind it and how the app worked, to help readers understand this groundbreaking tool.

I was tipped off to the company’s existence by Freddy Martinez, a researcher for Open the Government, a nonprofit focused on government transparency, and Beryl Lipton, who works for MuckRock, a nonprofit news organization that helps people file public records requests. Last year, when they requested public records from 112 police departments about their use of facial recognition, a few departments gave them invoices and marketing materials for Clearview AI. Clearview stuck out because it claimed to be scraping social media sites and the open web instead of using mugshots or D.M.V. photos, as was the norm with the other vendors.

Mr. Martinez has been doing research for years on how law enforcement uses technology. I had previously used documents unearthed by an organization he founded for a story in 2018 on the unregulated practice of undercover police officers friending people on Facebook. Mr. Martinez sent me an email in mid-November about Clearview, saying it “appears to be crossing the Rubicon on facial recognition technology” and provided relevant documents received from police departments.

First, I went to Clearview’s website, but it was a bare-bones landing page with a “Request Access” button. (I requested access but never got it.) The website listed an office address, a few blocks from The Times building in Midtown Manhattan. I walked over, but the address didn’t exist. (The company later told me it was a typo.) Business filings that my colleague, Kitty Bennett, found listed an address for a building on the Upper West Side. When I went there, a doorman told me it was someone’s home and wouldn’t let me go up.

These red flags initially suggested that the technology could be fake, but police officers using the app said that wasn’t the case. (I reached out to the police departments that had turned over public records about Clearview as well as those that had Clearview AI as a line-item on their public municipal budgets.) Detectives in Florida, Texas and Georgia said it worked incredibly well and had helped them solve dozens of cases in just the few short months they had been using it. I wanted to see for myself how well it worked, so I asked a few officers if they would run my photo through the app and show me the results.

And that’s when things got kooky. The officers said there were no results — which seemed strange because I have a lot of photos online — and later told me that the company called them after they ran my photo to tell them they shouldn’t speak to the media. The company wasn’t talking to me, but it was tracking who I was talking to.

After a month of being ignored, I decided to knock on more doors. A venture capital firm in Bronxville, N.Y., listed Clearview as one of its investments. The firm hadn’t returned my emails or phone calls so I took a 40-minute train ride from Manhattan to its office, and with a reporter on the doorstep, they finally agreed to answer some questions.

That same week, I received a call from Lisa Linden, who identifies herself online as a “veteran crisis communications strategist.” She told me she was now representing Clearview AI. She set up an interview with the company’s founder, Hoan Ton-That, and connected me with proponents of the app.

At the same time, as reporting continued, my colleagues shared their expertise. Investigative reporters at The Times helped map the company’s footprint by reaching out to their law enforcement sources. Metro reporters offered contacts to flush out the company’s background in New York. And an interactive news journalist did a forensic analysis of the company’s app to discover code that revealed the ability to pair it with augmented reality glasses.

As a relative newcomer to The Times, it was incredible to see the resources in this newsroom, and to use them to reveal a company that wants to unmask us all.

10 Gemstones that are Rarer than Diamonds

Diamonds are by far the most coveted gemstones in the world. But what makes diamonds so revered is not their scarcity, but rather tactful advertising on behalf of diamond mining corporations like DeBeers. There are actually a number of colorful gemstones that are considered to be much rarer than diamonds. Because of their rarity, these gemstones are not frequently found in jewelry. For this reason, they’re less well-known than gems like sapphires and emeralds, but certainly not any less beautiful.

Here are the top ten rarest gemstones (in no particular order):

1. Taaffeite

Image source

This extremely unusual gemstone was discovered accidentally in 1945 by Austrian geologist, Count Edward Charles Richard Taaffe. While combing through a box of spinel gems, Taaffe noticed there was one that was different from the rest. Because Taaffe was the first to discover taaffeite, the stone was named after him. Taaffeite can occur in colors ranging from deep purple to red, though red is the most uncommon. Surprisingly, this stone scores an 8 to 8.5 on Moh’s Scale of Hardness, making it unusually durable. Very few taaffeite gemstones have been found since their initial discovery. In fact, the only known deposits are in Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and China.  If you’re lucky enough to find one of these dazzling gems, expect to pay about $1,500 to $2,500 per carat.

2. Tanzanite

Image source

Though tanzanite can be purchased rather easily, it is still considered rare because of its scarcity. This gemstone is found exclusively in Tanzania, specifically the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Because this is the only known location where tanzanite can be mined, it is predicted that the world’s supply will be depleted within 20-30 years. Iconic jeweler, Tiffany & Co. famously used tanzanite in their designs, further driving up the demand for these beautiful gems. Tanzanite’s deep violet and blue hues make them comparable to sapphires, and they’re often used as an affordable alternative. Though as supply decreases, tanzanite’s value will likely skyrocket. Presently, you can anticipate one of these stones to cost you roughly $600 to $1,000 per carat.

3. Black Opal

Image source

Opals are a rather common gemstone, and can be found in many jewelry stores. However, black opals are a unique exception. Black opals mesmerize with their celestial colors swirled against an ink black backdrop. It’s no wonder they’re considered to be so exquisite! Similar to tanzanite, black opals are found solely in one location—along the Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, Australia. To own one of these captivating gemstones will cost you around $2,300 per carat.

4. Jadeite

Image source

Jadeite is highly regarded by Chinese, Mayan, and Maori cultures, inspiring a rich history of mythology. The stone was said to have been used in ancient Mesoamerica for fashioning tools and other weaponry. Though recognized for its varying shades of green, jadeite naturally occurs in lavender, yellow, blue, and a variety of other colors. Jadeite’s translucent appearance and smooth texture are what make it most valuable. The largest jadeite deposit is in Myanmar, though stones have been unearthed right here in California! Jadeite currently costs approximately $30,000 per carat.

5. Red Beryl

Image source

Red beryl derives its bright red pigment from the trace element manganese. This gemstone is a relative of emerald, aquamarine, and morganite. Red beryl is primarily mined in the Wah Wah Mountains of Utah, though small deposits have been located in Mexico and New Mexico. Most stones that are mined are not large enough for faceting, though if you’re fortunate enough to find one, it could cost you as much as $10,000 per carat.

6. Benitoite

Image source

Benitoite is found primarily in San Benito County, California, which is why California adopted the stone as their state gem. Other specimens have been located in Arkansas, Montana, Australia, and Japan, as well as other regions within California. Though, the only gem quality stones have been produced exclusively by the San Benito mine. Benitoite is sometimes referred to as the ‘blue diamond’ for its mesmerizing translucent blue color. Because of its rarity, most gem quality benitoite is a carat or less, though the largest ever found was nearly 16 carats. To get your hands on one of these gems will cost you about $3,000-$4,000 per carat.

7. Alexandrite

Image source

Deemed the “emerald by day, ruby by night”, alexandrite has unique color-changing properties that make it highly desirable. In lighter environments, alexandrite sparkles a rich blueish green color, while darker settings cause the stone to transition to a vivid magenta or purple tone. This one-of-a-kind gemstone was first discovered in the mountains of Russia in the 1830s. It was highly coveted by the Russian aristocracy, deriving its name from Czar Alexander. New deposits have recently been unearthed in Brazil, East Africa, and Sri Lanka. Perhaps these new locations will yield enough to help ease prices, but in the meantime alexandrite can cost as much as $12,000 per carat.

8. Musgravite

Musgravite was first discovered in the Musgrave Range of Southern Australia. It is from this range that it derives its name, though traces have now been found in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and more. Musgravite is found in colors ranging from a greenish gray to purple, and scores an 8-8.5 on the Moh’s Scale of Hardness. This score makes musgravite ideal for use in jewelry, but unfortunately quantities are too limited. Despite the discovery of new deposits, availability of musgravite is still scarce, in turn making them quite pricey. The cost for one of these rare beauties? Specimens have sold for as much as $35,000 per carat!

9. Painite

In 2005, painite took the crown as the world’s rarest gemstone according to the Guinness Book of World Records. At the time, there were only 25 known specimens in existence. Today, that number hasn’t increased by much, with the only known source of painite being in Myanmar. This gem can occur in colors ranging from brown to red, and even pink. Painite is pleochroic, meaning that it can appear to change colors when viewed from different angles. So what does the world’s rarest gemstone cost? If you’re able to locate painite on the market, it may cost you as much as $50,000-$60,000 a carat.

10. Grandidierite

Grandidierite was discovered in Madagascar in 1902 by a French mineralogist, Alfred Lacroix. He named his treasure after French explorer and naturalist, Alfred Grandidier. Since his initial finding, small samples of grandidierite have been found in Namibia and Sri Lanka, though very few have been gem quality. Grandidierite commonly occurs in a teal blue color, and can transmit light due to it being pleochroic. Specimens that are fully transparent are considered the rarest. Forbes ranked this gemstone the third rarest on earth, with prices as high as $20,000 per carat.
