Serendibite

Physical Properties
The rare gem material, Serendibite, is characterized with regard to gemological, chemical, and spectroscopic properties. Spectroscopic features such as US-Vis-NIR and infrared ranges, as well as Raman and photo-luminescence data, are considered more for identification of Serendibite.

Serendibite may be confused with sapphirine and zoisite due to similarity in color and almost identical properties but refractive indices, twinning, and spectra can be used to separate these gem materials. The Spectrum of color Serendibite can be found in is very narrow, Grayish blue-green to deep blue, black, green, or brown; in transmitted light, nearly colorless to pale yellow-green or blue and its florescence is completely inert.

While it has been found in a translucent form, it more commonly appears like volcanic glass, Black allowing little to no light to penetrate its luster has been described as Vitreous.

Chemical Properties
Serendibite is composed of a silicate and borate of calcium, magnesium, and aluminum and occurring in irregular blue grains in Ceylon

Index of refraction: 1.70 - 1.71

Mohs' Scale Hardness: 6.5-7.0 (about as hard as a steel knife)

Fracture: Conchoidal

Crystal System: Triclinic

Social Impact

Serendibite, not to be confused with serandite, is a cyan colored stone that comes from Sri Lanka. It boasts an unusually complex formula consisting of calcium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, boron and oxygen. So far there exist three faceted specimens of 0.35 carats, 0.55 carats and 0.56 carats. The first two were discovered by rare stone specialist D. P. Gunasekera and purchased by the late Prof. E. J. Gübelin of Switzerland. The larger of those two is shown to the left; the smaller was sold for about $14,300.00 per carat. The name comes from the old Arabic term for Sri Lanka, Serendib, as referenced in The Sixth Voyage of Sinbad and elsewhere. It is currently the rarest and most valuable precious gemstone in the world.
