Rarest
Gems
The world''''s rarest gem is believed to be painite, a gem that most have never heard of. The painite is orangish or reddish brown and was first discovered in Burma in the ''''50s. Within the last couple of years, the source of the two original painite crystals was discovered and now a few hundred faceted stones exist. A more well-known (but still very rare) gem is the red diamond
Rarest Signature
He may have done a lot of writing, but with only 6 of them in existence William Shakespeare'''' s signature is one of the rarest of all and is valued somewhere around $3 million dollars.
Rarest Cats & Dogs
Of the rarest cat
breeds
, the Ashera ( pic. left) is the most expensive ($20K+), the Sokoke the most exotic (from the wilds of Africa), and the Egyptian Mau has the coolest history (lived with the Egyptians). As for dog breeds, the one that keeps popping up on all the "rare" lists is the Lundehund, originally bred by the Vikings to hunt Puffins. Other rare breeds include Otterhounds and Stabyhounds.
Rarest Stamps
According to Wikipedia, the most expensive item by weight and volume is the Treskilling Yellow
Stamp
from Sweden. It has a current estimated worth of $2.3 million. Here''''s what makes it so valuable: In 1858, when the currency was known as the
skilling
, the 3-skilling stamp ("treskilling") was
printed
in blue. And an 8-skilling stamp was printed in yellow. But due to a printing error, a few 3-skilling stamps were printed in yellow.
Rarest
Sea
Salt
The earliest known sea salt produced by the Japanese may be the rarest of all. Called Amabito No Moshio ("Ancient Sea Salt"), unpolluted sea water is collected from the Seto-uchi inland sea, infused with seaweed to develop the "unami", and then processed by cooking in an iron kettle, put into a centrifuge, and finally, cooked over an open fire while stirring constantly. The salt is worth over $40 per pound.
