Clinohumite — A Rare Gem with Fiery Soul

Today I came across a special gem — clinohumite. And not just any gem, but one cut in a trillion shape — and that’s where I completely melted. I already love trillions, but when something as rare as clinohumite is revealed in this form… that’s a kind of beauty that goes straight to the heart. The gem seems to glow from within, like the setting sun trapped in a crystal.

But let’s dig a little deeper — what exactly is this fascinating stone?

Clinohumite is a true mineralogical rarity. It belongs to the olivine group and contains magnesium, iron, silicon, and a hint of fluorine. Its colors range from fiery orange to amber, sometimes with golden or reddish undertones. A juicy, vibrant shade — no filter needed to bring out its natural beauty.

Its hardness is about 6.5 to 7, which makes it perfectly wearable in a ring, especially if set in a secure and elegant setting. And here’s the thing: this is not just a collector’s stone — it’s a real gemstone, though a rare one. You won’t find it in every jewelry store, and that’s exactly what makes it valuable — both for gem collectors and for those looking for something truly unique that won’t be seen on every other finger.

To me, clinohumite is the perfect blend of mineralogical depth and jewelry-worthy beauty. Especially in a trillion cut. It brings out the light play, deepens the color — the gem practically burns with life. Definitely on the list of my favorites.

So if you’re searching for something that will truly set you apart — take a closer look.

Clinohumite, despite its rarity, might just be the one.
