Brittany is definitely warming up to the camera! Fantastic blues!
I'm having a very hard day and this video has really cheered me up! Thank you! Today's blue specimens are pure eye candy.
I may just have some eye candy for you how can you read between the lines
how much eye candy I love like you I love gemstones too!"(?)"!
"Oh Robert, you know women don't have pockets." I died. lol. While I'm personally partial to Aquamarine because I'm a March baby, my favorite blue stone is larimar.
“Oh Robert, you know women don’t have pockets”
“I’m just a big fan…zanite”
Some great one-liners in this episode lol! Brittany and Robert have quickly become my favorite pair, they have great energy together 💙
Funny!!! The recipients name is Brittany
Robert's mini jam sesh with the clue for the first box gave me life. Thanks for all you do guys!
Tanzanite is one of my favourite stones, I actually just bought some from JTV! I love the pale lavender ones, which I know aren't considered as high quality but it's such a gorgeous cool-toned purple-blue/blue-purple.
One other very rare "blue" gem....... Benitoite. State gem of California. 5th rarest gem in the world. Great episode!
Was hoping to see some kyanite, but that topaz tho!
Thanks for addressing the heat treated Tanzanite. Also sensitive to ultrasound cleaning.
Wow! Those are some beautiful blue gems and minerals! i like you am partial to tanzanite. Ita my favorite gem stone, but all those blues are just gorgeous!
Blue topaz is my favorite! I have a giant blue topaz from Ukraine and a large one from Brazil.
Thanks for sharing, just love the blues... gonna have to figure out how to mount that large gem on a ring now 😆👍
This channel is the most important channel of gemstones in youtube.. thank you❤
Thank you for doing this video. I love blue gemstones.
My favorite color!! And in all shapes, sizes and species... and that 90s song that always got stuck in my head LOL
I have a " Blue Stuff" collection. And that Large Blue Topaz Crystal would look nice in it!
MORE BRITTANY AND ROBERT PLEASE!!!!!
Where’s dumortierite?? 😢 I’ve been waiting for every single video about the precious dumortierite from
Brazil
We'll try to get to it in a future viewer requests video!
I'm with everyone on that peacock tanzanite that is just unbelievably beautiful😮😮😮❤❤❤❤ I dare say that is where the idea for Mystic topaz came from❤!!!!!!!
And all day and all night and everything he see its just blue... I was about to skip the video but u got me, im staying till the end now. 10/10
Love the barrel topaz. I really love apatite. Has many shades of blue.
Blue is abeahiful stone. I am going to get back to u later our tomorrow am. I want to put more $ in my acct. Thanks so much.
Amazing video!!
Bluuuueeeee
Oddly I have a Topaz that turned green when it was heat treated - it’s cool - it’s green color matches the green color in a traffic light. It’s one of my favorites
I feel like you guys might share the editing load but I like to think that Rob had to edit that "Blue" intro music moment himself 😂👌 so good guys. 💙💙💙
Give that big rock of lapis
To BOBBY WHITE JEWELER IN LONDON..
I need a necklace, bracelet, and matching earrings..set...
Ty for blues....and its snowing hard in UK...
sending warmth your way
From 🇺🇸...
Happy holiday..
High grade Blue kyanite would be another good blue one. .. also Parabia Tourmaline and cobalt spinel
Brittany and Roberto have become my favourite gemstone couple. I love how informative they both are. 👏
But FYI that background music is anxiety inducing for me. It is a little too full on.
Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Blue is my favorite color!
Thank you for your hard work on the video
Brittany prefers them large, aint no shame in that game! No idea on value but I would have picked those 2 as well the lapis in 1st place by a country mile!
I like it
Sumptuous !
I love blue gemstones. This was a great episode!
Nice gemstones, you guys should do silver coins unboxing.
I almost can't believe that barrel topaz is real! That thing is MASSIVE! The Tanzanite with the flaw in it makes light go through it so the flawed piece looks pink while the rest of the stone flashes blue. Neat! Kinda sad you skipped Aquamarine and Larimar, though, both stones are lovely. One is my birthstone, & I have a big chunk as a pendant of the other.
I love that Pyrite and the Topaz! The Topaz is amazing! Robert must love Cobalt then, which is the color of my truck.🤠
Very good video. Blue is my favorite color 💙💎 here's some more blue gems
Chrysocolla: while not super blue, it's very nice. Like turquoise
Aquamarine: a sky blue variety of beryl that gets color from iron
Maxixe: deep blue beryl which has unstable color and must be placed somewhere dark fi avoid fading
Hauyne: another ingredient for Lapis Lazuli which it's deep ocean blue color
Sodalite is another ingredient and very common to find. Rarily cut but has a blueish to purple Tenebreascent variant known as Hackmanite
Sapphire, super blue thanks to titanium and star Sapphires are out of this world!
Blue Spodumene is very rare and has the same weakness as Maxixe Beryl. Still very valuable
Dumortierite is rarely cut and often found as radiating crystals inside quartz. But has a lovely blue color
Benitoite is a very rare gemstone found only in Saint Benito California with a unique cobalt blue as it's main color !
Sapphirine is a darker blue gem and white different from sapphire. It has a dark to icey blue to green color.
Blue Garnet is very rare. Only being seen from our eyes as a color change Garnet.
Kyanite is another blue gemstone that's often cut but it's quite fragile. Color changing ones have also been found.
Transparent moonstone with a blue flash is a very rare gemstone but breath taking!
Apatite can be many colors as well as blue and it's very well loved for deep ocean blue colors at times
Boleite is a rare mineral and gem often forming as very small crystals and even smaller gems. It's a highly sought after collector's item!
Very rarely does Blue Serendibite ever show up. It's usually a very strong blue to turquoise but it's very rare also because often Serendibite often occurs as black crystals.
Natural blue pearls are very rare and offer a lovely silvery blue coloration
Blue diamonds are a rare gemstone which earns it's blue color thanks to Boron Atoms
Anatase is a meta-stable Polymorph of Rutile and Brookite. With a deep to dark blue coloration and very nice looking crystals as well!
Iolite Aka water sapphire is another blue gem. It's usually purple but also can be a deep blue color. It is Dichroic meaning In certian angles, it can go from blue to grey.
Blue fluorite is soft but it's a nice gemstone to have as well especially color change fluorites. It's not to hard to obtain either
Blue calcite can be found in some places and it's pretty nice to have, but be careful of it's cleavage points and hardness!
Afghanite is yet another ingredient of Lapis Lazuli and it usually has a very deep blue color to boot, but can also appear as yellow to orange in florescent light.
Gahnite is a blue mineral from the Spinel Group and can be a very rare blue gem along with the variety known as Ghanospinel.
Very rarely Kornerupine can be blue but also mixed with purple and light green. A very colorful stone indeed!
Extremely rare to find is Blue Hibonite exceedingly rare as a cut gemstone. Usually blue Hibonite is found in space.
Ajoite is another rare gem that's bright blue often found in quartz and rarely cut as a gem.
Cavansite is a rare gem to be cut but also quite common to find as an uncut mineral specimen
Violane is a blue to purple variety of Diopside and quite rare
Vorobyevite is a member of the Beryl Group and is quite uncommon to find but is very beautiful with it's Periwinkle Blue coloration
Indicolite and Paraiba tourmaline are rare varieties of Tourmaline. Indicolite has a greenish to deep to dark blue color while Paraiba Tourmaline gets it's very bright blue coloration from copper
Turquoise can range from well turquoise to blue and yellow . Rare deep turquoise to icey blue gems can be found.
Amazonite is a Variety of Microcline with a very bright blue coloration and has been cut into gems sometimes.
A very rare gem that is cut because of its rarity is known as Amblygonite usually giving off a blue-green coloration.
There's other blue gems and meant blue minerals out there but I think I've said quite another here. Wonderful video as always 💙💙💙💙💙💎💎💎💎
That's quite a list 👍
Very informative
@@hybridgoth Thanks so much. I do admit I made a lot of typos XD but that just shows you, I love the color blue.
Ideas for the color series:
Pale/pastel (i love peach and I thought the yellow video was missing some paler yellows!)
Multicolored
Magenta/orchid/fuchsia
Lime/olive
Grey
White
Rainbow (like labradorite, opal & ammolite)
Love this series!
Thanks!
They have posted a video!
@@Nick-dx2pt I know! I was excited. I made this suggestion 2 months ago. It was a great video!!
Thank u for this episode!! These 2 work well together 2 me . And Brittany's soft voice mixed with her sharp mineral and Gem knowledge makes her ..... idk nice ... I guess... ! I think she's great. We love our boy tho also. The way she explains things mixed with him together it's like knowledge mixed with someone I can relate to. For me personally. I guess. But blue is my favorite color next to green soo. Anyway thanks jtv. Im Still scared to buy ur jewelry tho.!!!!
I can see all my December birthstones on this video😂
Rob singing. 🤣😍 0:30
You all are great. Fine visuals, fine content, interesting and nuanced presentations, limited vocal fry, engaging. But maybe a little less Brylcreem. Combined with a toss-up man-sweep, the hair oil carries things a bit into the 1950s greaser mode, which is like hearing the Fonz giving a geo talk. xx
@12:12 "i wish my girl looked at me the way Brittney looked at that topaz"
😂
No sodalite?
That round tanzanite displaying purply blue and red totally looks like alexandrite! 💜💙❤️
Good fun and imformative,
That topaz barrel is an unusual shade... Not Swiss, Sky or London. What is it called?
I actually have a tanzanite ring, though I’m not very confident if it is as I’m having a hard time trying to identify since it’s tiny. Lol
Will you being doing Cubic Zirconia, one day? I really want to know more about it, there is very little information.p about this stone.
I prefer the color of tanzanite to the color of affordable sapphires. The great blues of sapphires are sooo expensive for a decent size stone. But I have only sapphire because I had to choose, and tanzanite (a 7) is softer and you must be careful of its exposure to the sun. I don't want to baby jewelry but wear it. I really think if you desired a big ole blue stone, topaz (an 8 in hardness) is the way to go. A clear and pretty blue that won't bankrupt you!
So few blue minerals where I'm located 😔dabodebodobai 🤣
💙💙💙
Im surprised Blue Tiger Eye wasn't on here. Not many people know Tiger Eye can be blue or even dark green. I showed someone a piece of my material I bought and they were amazed, they said it looks better than yellow Tiger Eye
hello. good day a couple of months ago I bought a raw sapphire. good size. I have reviewed it and in some parts of this connel tester presidium multi tester it gives me a diamond. The incredible in this sapphire that turned out to be a diamond. As indicated by this tool, it turned out to be a blue diamond. I have no idea if the whole stone is a sapphire diamond, but it seems incredibly phenomenal to me.
we find natural light blue topaz in Tasmania
The easiest way to tell the difference between Topaz and Aquamarine is the weight. Topaz is heavier than Aquamarine.
No Kyanite????
Did I miss sapphire? You say blue gemstones and sapphire leaks to mind first. Sapphire, & Lapis
I cant think of any gemstones I don't like 🤣
Beautiful , would've liked more attention focus on smaller stones .
wonder how much that barrel shaped topaz is. thing is gigantic.
Please make a video on perovskite and shungite
😂😂 “oh Robert, you know women don’t have pockets” 👏🏻👏🏻💀
When I was in Israel, I got a necklace with a stone they called, "Eilat Stone" that had a mixture of deep green and dark blue. It kind of reminds me of that chunk of azurite you showed toward the beginning, so now I'm wondering if it's a regional name.
Eilat stone is a rock composed of various copper minerals - sometimes turquoise, azurite, malachite, or chrysocolla.
My favorite is the topaz
How could they not include blue sapphire
Nice
This is great right along with most of your other videos. Its great that you show so many of the same kind of gem and the different forms it comes in.
I do have a suggestion, could you please show what raw gems should look like that you would then be faceted and turned into jewelry. I see plenty of places on line to purchase stones/raw gems. But. how do you know how to acertain the quality beofore you spend money and time on it for it to be a dud when you finish. There spent money and time to have just had more practice on skills you already know.
By the way I have learned so much from watching your videos.
Why do you hold the gems on/between the back of your fingers? Enjoying the show. :)
The valleys formed between each finger help hold the stones in position so they’re not rolling all over in your hand, it keeps the sweat and oils of your palms of the stones, and you’re far less likely to drop the stone compared to if you were holding it between finger and thumb.
@@SelaDanae Thanks!
hihi any lucky draws for xmas but we may be overseas now
@ 10:50 am I wrong? Or, is our sweet boy a bit intimidated by Britney 😊???? He's trying soooo hard , it's soooo cute to see a man intimidated by a woman's intelligence 😂!!!!❤❤❤ but much luv to both of them!!! And thanks for the free education !!!!! 😊❤
So pretty ...
That’s interesting . I could have sworn that ancient Egyptian used lapis lazuri for their blue color. If it wasn’t the Egyptian then it would have to be the Middle Ages.
Awww beautiful blue Kyanite did not make the cut! With all of it's chatoyancy-!ah well... maybe next video on blue stones!
Yes! In the meantime, check out Kyanite's very own episode: ua-cam.com/video/ywjWUSMut2I/v-deo.html
@@gems thank you!
Rob is cute af 😍😍😍
I have blue sapphire pink sapphire and padparachcha sapphire from srilankan and Madagascar origin.
Y'all must've included a Cavansite specimen in there... People would've went crazy
Forget the Tanzanite! Benitoite beats it in rarity
11:00 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I realy enjoy your Videos but can you do the Spiritual Benefits of each Stone aswell?
There are no "spiritual" benefits of stones. They're just pretty rocks and don't do anything magical. Stick to reality and stop filling your head with fluff. Also, unnecessarily capitalizing the words"videos", "spiritual benefits" and "stone" makes you look like a pretentious, uneducated prat. Capitals are for proper names and the beginnings of sentences. That's it.
As far as lazurite is concerned, It's been of special interest to me for quite a while, so, please forgive me while I info-dump on the subject;
Whilst it is true that most specimens are considered opaque and display a rather dull lustre.
In microscopic specimens however; translucency is often seen.
In some more sizeable yet we'll crystallized specimens, a strong backlight can be used to illuminate the stone, and, when such well crystallized specimens are sliced in thin sections they are also observed to be translucent.
I have personally only observed this myself in a single specimen mined many years ago, this particular specimen had a rather high lustre for the species; somewhere between greasy and low-vitreous, once polished a vitreous lustre became apparent.
boleite, diaboleite and azurite are the only other minerals I've seen to display such rich ultramarine blue colour with diaphaneity, unfortunately, these others I mentioned are all too soft to set in functional jewellery.
Also, for those keen on pseudomorphs, lazurite can be obtained in different pseudo forms replacing mica, scapolite and other minerals. 🙂
Hi, is it possible to discern z gemstose in a ring from a photo?
It would pretty difficult without further info
@@gems I have two rings I believe are gemstones but am not certain
Too bad I couldn't send a picture of mine
Love you
Iolite is better than tanzanite. It's cheaper. It's harder. It doesn't require any heat treatment. And it looks very similar to tanzanite.
I have about 5 Pounds of it
Too bad I could not send you a picture of mine
Iam blue daba didabadie daba die daba die a gem fell out of the sky
Maravilha de show eu tenho umas alaranjadas
So many blue stones that you missed.
It would be nice if before you do up-close shots you would clean the Gems. They are always so dirty and it kind of loses it kick.
No benitoite!!??
