What are the exotic/rare stones?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Only one has been found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyawthuite

Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moissanite#Geological_occurrence

Found in significant quantities in only 2 places.

I forget, but if you search for a list of rare stones, diamonds are surprisingly far down.
