Large crystals with no flaws are rare, and they're often quite pretty. Also, crystals are sometimes useful in engineering. The clock in your computer uses a crystal oscillator to generate a precise reference frequency so that all parts of the computer run at the proper speed, for example.

∙ 10y agoAINITE has in years past been described by the Guinness Book of World Records as the rarest gem mineral. As of early 2005 there were eighteen known specimens, all numbered and accounted for. Specimen No. 5 has been faceted into an oval and weighs 2.54 carats. Painite is pink to red to brown in color, very strongly pleochroic (showing different hues from different angles) and it fluoresces a lovely green under short wave UV. It comes from Mogok and Kachin State in Myanmar and was named after its discoverer, British gemologist Arthur Charles Davy Pain.
