Hey pricescope.
I have a rather personal question for you all on taste and preference. I ask this because I am about to invest in a collectors stone. I have my view on the matter, but I would love to hear others view to have a more nuance view, expanding my horisont so to speak.
I have narrow my investing choice down to either serendibite, painite, jeremejevite or sphalerite. Jeremejevite and sphalerite are the two I am leaning towards given their splendid color and transperancy. But in order to get a nice color one most look for a larger stone and because of this a larger price. The two others have another beauty of their own given their extreme rarity, and their rather interessting, admittingly dull, color and loustre. But the color compared to the more bright colored sphalerite and jeremjevite is nothing to speak of, well their is my problem. Color over rarity and provance? Or provance and rarity over color?
