0.73 ct. Johachidolite Baguette - Ultra-Rare Collector's Gemstone

This exceptionally rare 0.73 carat johachidolite features a clean, well-executed baguette cut measuring 8.3 x 3.9 x 2.4 mm. With its vivid golden-orange hue, this untreated gemstone comes from the only known commercial source of gem-quality johachidolite in the world: Mogok, Burma (Myanmar).

Johachidolite is among the rarest gemstones on Earth. First identified in the 1920s, it remains largely unknown outside of high-end gemological and collector circles due to its extreme scarcity. Gem-quality, facetable johachidolite is seldom seen on the market, and even fewer examples possess this level of clarity, color, size, and symmetry. It is prized for its fiery brilliance and exotic origin, making it a coveted acquisition for advanced mineral and gemstone collectors and connoisseurs.

RARITY & COLLECTOR'S APPEAL

Johachidolite stands among the rarest gemstones known. Initially discovered in 1942 in North Korea, gem-quality specimens have since been found exclusively in Myanmar's Mogok region. The majority of faceted johachidolite stones weigh under 0.15 carats, and those exceeding 0.25 carats with both fine color and clarity are exceedingly scarce. With the original Mogok deposit now depleted, high-quality johachidolite gems have become nearly unobtainable, making each piece a significant rarity.

Challenges in Faceting

Cutting johachidolite demands exceptional skill, as rough material is often minute, and the gem’s scarcity means that any mistake can be costly. Cutters must work meticulously to preserve carat weight while enhancing the gem’s natural beauty and brilliance.

Mogok Deposit and Mining Conditions

One of the very few known sources of gem-quality johachidolite is the famed Mogok region in Myanmar. Located approximately 200 km north of Mandalay, Mogok has been renowned for centuries due to its abundance of exceptional gemstones, including rubies, sapphires, and spinels. Johachidolite is among the scarcest finds in this region.

Gem extraction in Mogok often involves traditional, artisanal methods. Miners recover gems from alluvial marble gravels through panning, tunneling, and hand-dug pits, with minimal mechanization. This meticulous and labor-intensive process is essential to isolate rare stones like johachidolite from the metamorphosed limestone (marble) deposits.

Collector Appeal and Market Dynamics

The rarity of johachidolite and the painstaking mining process ensure that only a few specimens ever reach the global market. Even well-informed collectors face challenges acquiring johachidolite. It is often sold quietly in local markets, and foreign buyers must navigate strict regulations, obtaining special permits and adhering to the legal requirements for gemstone export from Myanmar.

Johachidolite’s allure lies in its rarity and the story behind its extraction. Each specimen that reaches the hands of a serious gem collector represents countless hours of labor and a stroke of extraordinary luck. Museums, private collectors, and specialized gem dealers prize this stone for its unique attributes, adding a layer of mystique to any collection that includes a faceted johachidolite.
