Musgravite is a rare magnesium-beryllium-aluminium oxide closely related to taaffeite and highly sought after by collectors. Named after Australia’s Musgrave Ranges, where it was first discovered, it typically displays subtle grey-green, green or violet tones. With a Mohs hardness of 8–8.5, musgravite combines considerable hardness with the appeal of an uncommon gem species.
