Could some one please tell me what the order of rarity (from rarest at top to least rarest at bottom)for the following minerals, with regard to cut stones considered normal gem-quality for the mineral concerned, should be?
1. Bixbite (Utah Red Beryl/''Red Emerald[TM]'')
2. Paraiba Tourmaline
3. Russian Demantoid Garnet
4. Mandarin Garnet
5. Alexandrite
6. Madagascar Pezzottaite
7. Madagascar Red Beryl
8. Tanzanite.
Is Madagascar Red Beryl actually Pezzottaite?
Also, if possible, how the order of rarity will be affected if the following are also included for consideration:-
1. Alexandrite Cat''s Eye
2. Color Change Ruby
3. Color Change Sapphire
4. Red Ruby Cat''s Eye
5. Color Change Garnet
6. Blue Sapphire Cat''s Eye
7. Chrysoberyl Cat''s Eye
8. Blue Star Sapphire
9. Red Star Ruby
10. Imperial Jade Cat''s Eye.
