The namibian green sapphire with its glass like ook is a must have for any hard asset investor.

The namibian green sapphire does not look like another green sapphire like those from ceylon or other places. These green sapphires from namibia are something different. They actually look like diamonds with tinges of green in them, unlike sapphires from ceylon where the entire green sapphire.

What makes the the namibian green sapphire one of the most highly sought after gemstones.

Firstly it is due to its rarity. Because there are no huge quantities or mines that have huge deposits of this sapphire, the price is well insulated against crazy market fluctuations.

Secondly it is due to its return on investment. Currently a 0.15 caratdiamond cut green sapphire from namibia usually costs about US $25. In 1988 a 0.15 carat diamond cut green sapphire from namibia costs about US $5 to about US $8. In todays context that would roughly translate to a 500% return on investment. Nowhere on the investment arena can anyone get this type of returns unless you invest in penny shares and we all know that investing in penny shares only brings sadness. For me i have stayed away from penny shares.

Thirdly it is because the namibian green sapphire is part of the liquid gold list. This is a list of hard assets where the liquidity of the hard assets themselves even rivals that of gold itself. The fact that the namibian green sapphire is on that list it means liquidity is not a problem. Also keep in mind that because of its rarity, finding a buyer is not really an issue. If you go to kinhasa in congo or to pretoria in south africa you can see local miners from namibia and local businessmen buy and sell the namibian green sapphire for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Fourth, the namibian green sapphire is a hard asset unlike the paper money that we have in the world today. Paper money can be printed through a confusing term called "quantative easing" but it simply means putting the printing press on autopilot, but for hard assets there is just no printing. It is a precious resource. In this case the namibian green sapphire is a precious stone, whose value does notdegrade with time. It is also an excellent inflation hedge. Ifinflation goes through the roof, hard assets are the only thing thatliterally have any worth unlike paper money where it is just ink on paper.

How do we know that the egyptian pharoahs actually wore the namibiangreen sapphires. These can be seen in scriptures and painting of the egyptian pharoahs done about 50 centuries ago. The egyptian pharoahs believed that the namibian green sapphire had magical powers. They believed that it had the ability to bring anyone to submission to the wearer of the the the namibian green sapphire.

When buying the namibian green sapphire always remember to buy them from reputable miners such as kingdom mines or any other mines.
