[Intro]
\nPainite (rocks!)
\nAm I right
\nPainite (rocks!)
\nAlright<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSuch a pain to sight
\n(Painite)
\nA strain, a fight
\n(… to sight Painite)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nPainite (rocks!)
\nAm I right
\nPainite (rocks!)
\nAlright<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSearching all night
\n(And into the light)
\nPainite<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAt 60 k a carrot
\n(Ya gonna share it?)
\nSome zirconium
\n(Add boron in)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nPainite (rocks!)
\nAm I right
\nPainite (rocks!)
\nAlright<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThanks for the insight
\n(A real delight)
\nPainite
\n(Painfully finite)
\nTrying to find
\n(Your kind)
\nAhh, um
\n(You’re a real gem)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG AND THE SCIENCE
\nThe title of the rarest precious gem is often debated among gemologists, as it depends on whether you consider minerals with only one known specimen (like Kyawthuite) or those with a few known facetable stones. However, the gemstone consistently cited as one of the rarest available on the market is Painite.<\/p>\n

Painite: The Rarest Available Gem
\nDiscovered in Myanmar in the 1950s by British gemologist Arthur C.D. Pain, the stone was once listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s rarest mineral. For decades, only two cut specimens were known to exist.
\nKey facts about Painite:<\/p>\n

* Rarity: The unique combination of zirconium and boron in nature is highly uncommon, making its formation exceptionally rare.
\n* Availability: While more deposits have been found in recent years (primarily in Myanmar), gem-quality, facet-grade material remains incredibly scarce, with perhaps fewer than 1,000 stones existing in the world.
\n* Appearance: It typically ranges in color from orange-red to brownish-red.
\n* Value: High-quality Painite can command prices upwards of $50,000 to $60,000 per carat.<\/p>\n
