A Rare Gem

Discovered in East Asia by British mineralogist Arthur Pain, the so-called “Painite” gemstone can be found in several colors, and the various hues seen as light hits them give an uncommon view.

Incredibly, only 25 such stones exist today, and the value per gram works out to $9,000! Despite the fact that many people have never heard of it, Painite is the rarest of rare jewels. And for the longest time, only two had been found in the entire world. 

That kind of rarity stands out in a crowd. 

Proverbs 31:10 says, “She is far more precious than jewels.”

Think of how rare and precious a true Proverbs 31 woman is. She is a woman remembered vividly, even with emotion, long after she goes to be with the Lord.

Are you a mother beloved by your children? Do they think of you fondly? Does your husband honor you for your uncommon strength and love? Will friends seek you out when they can’t turn to anyone else? If so, you are that rare gem. And you are loved indeed.

Let’s pray.

Lord, help us be that rarest of jewels, one that points others to the light and majesty of Christ, forevermore. In Jesus’ name, amen.
