A Rare Gem Fair Experience

From August 8 to 17, enthusiasts of rare gemstones are invited to a unique event showcasing some of the most exquisite and rare stones known to mankind. This is not just a fair but a chance to encounter gems that have been deemed miraculous in their existence. The fair features stunning varieties such as Afghanite, untreated Padparadscha Sapphire, Baileyanite, Green Uvarovite, and Yookraite.

A Beautiful Journey Through Rare Gemstones

In the midst of an unprecedented boom in rare stones, this event promises a selection of top-quality gemstones that display breathtaking beauty and vibrant colors. The rare color stones presented at this fair could very well turn out to be the fateful gems you've been searching for.

Japanese buyers, particularly those trained through Béne's 55-year legacy, recognize the importance of experiencing these exquisite stones firsthand. Former chairperson Mizumura emphasized the necessity of understanding the highest quality of loose gems, claiming that true stone buying cannot occur without such knowledge. This core philosophy continues at the Béne Ginza Salon, which is dedicated to sourcing unique high-quality loose stones for gem lovers in Japan.

Showcasing Exquisite Selection

This event is notable for gathering a plethora of rare stones from around the globe. Among the highlights is Afghanite, which is notoriously scarce. Discovered in the Badakhshan region in 1968, Afghanite possesses a vibrance that is rarely found in gemstones. The showcased 1.73-carat Afghanite stands out not only for its beautiful proportions but also for the intricate cut that reveals astonishing transparency and depth of color. Expert cutters have painstakingly polished this gem, creating a masterpiece that is almost beyond visual comprehension.

The Brazilian Paraiba Tourmaline is another hypnotic piece at the fair. Found in the northeastern region of Brazil, this tourmaline made waves upon its introduction to the market in 1989, thanks to its extraordinary neon hues. The tourmalines on display boast a density of colors that can hardly be rivaled today. One such piece, a non-heated Paraiba weighing 0.337 carats, exhibits the sought-after neon greenish-blue coloration, showcasing unmatched clarity and proportion, with certification from the Japan-Germany Gem Laboratory.

The Rarest of the Rare

Among the star attractions is the ultra-rare Portrettite. First recognized in 1965 and classified as a new mineral in 1987, this extraordinary stone is highly coveted due to its scarcity and unique qualities. Most Portrettite on the market is typically colorless or pink, but this specific 0.645-carat piece exhibits a rare beauty, free of significant inclusions or flaws—a true miracle in the world of gems.

The fair also highlights Uvarovite, a super rare stone with extremely limited market circulation. Named by French mineralogist René-Just Haüy in 1792, Yookraite is distinguished by its inclusions, making high-quality specimens an exceptionally rare find. A featured piece boasts a meticulous faceted cut, showcasing transparency and beauty that are seldom seen.

Another notable gem is the Green Uvarovite from Afghanistan, which has recently emerged in the market, boasting a striking vibrant green hue. A standout piece over one carat in size, this gem has been precisely re-polished to achieve the perfect balance and angle, further emphasizing its mesmerizing color and clarity.

Furthermore, the event promises an array of other coveted rare stones like Baileyneite and Rhodocrosite in miraculous qualifty. We warmly welcome all gem lovers to experience this unique occasion that goes beyond mere sales and invites guests into the wonder of rare treasures.
