Product description
This is Painite — once certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the rarest gemstone on Earth, with fewer than a thousand known crystals in existence. Even among those, this example stands out: not only is it natural and unpolished, but it also features vivid ruby inclusions and striking purple-pink fluorescence under UV light — an exceptionally rare combination for this already legendary mineral.
With its deep reddish-brown body, distinct surface striations, and bright ruby inclusions clearly visible to the eye, this 23.3-carat crystal offers everything collectors look for in a display-quality specimen. The fluorescence, visible in multiple zones under UV, adds a further layer of intrigue. While most listings priced around £2,000–£5,000 feature small, highly fractured pieces or lack clarity or colour, this specimen hits the sweet spot: museum-level rarity, visual aesthetics, and full authenticity.
Painite is rarely available at this level of quality. This crystal has been kept completely unaltered — no cutting, no polishing — preserving the raw crystal structure as it formed in the Earth’s crust.

Painite is believed to be a grounding stone that supports alignment between the physical and spiritual bodies. It is often associated with clearing energetic blockages and enhancing one’s ability to stay focused and determined during times of stress. Some crystal practitioners attribute Painite with promoting inner strength, emotional stability, and spiritual growth making it a favoured tool for meditation and personal transformation.
The ruby inclusions within this piece are thought to amplify the energy of the root and heart chakras, encouraging passion, vitality, and deep emotional resilience. When combined with Painite’s naturally grounding properties, these inclusions are said to offer a balanced energetic frequency that supports both protection and renewal.
