This was absolutely fascinating! Loved it! Rob has such natural talent and skills for teaching and explaining things and the sound of his voice and tone is perfect for it. Really learn a lot from these videos as I'm about to start learning gemmology and moving my career in this direction. ❤️ Thanks guys. I love everything you post!
The video is a great tool to have in your arsenol. And you have a great gemologist in your toolbox too! You are so very helpful because we want a clear stone but knowing that they rarely come without inclusions, we can mess them up and end up buying a poor qualty or a fake stone. It may even be glass. And if it is that clear, its not emerald. And could be glass. So check it out! So check for all the tell marks that natural emerald's have. And thank you for expertise and knowledge for us! Thank you!
Perfect timing on this video. I just received my Chelsea filter and I'm looking forward to using it. This video had a wealth of info in it. Thanks Rob!!!
This is totally riveting!!!🤩✨ It's amazing the different techniques that can be used to identify emerald.💚 Very much appreciate the ways to spot those being passed off as Emerald and their names/terms! 🙇
Maybe you can help me out. My field of employment is the fabrication and installment of both, natural and man-made stone countertops/tile, and during one of my 'new construction' installs, as I was walking back into the unit, a stunningly green stone rerouted my attention. Without hesitation I scooped it up. When I returned back to the shop. I instantly grabbed an air polisher then began putting my polishing skills to work. I was blown away by it's shine ability plus how rich and deep it's color went. Very 3Dish accents. Anyways, I'm going to try attaching a picture . Can't seem to find a way so I apologize. Hopefully one day I will figure out if this rock is a precious gem or not. Thank you for your time
This was super helpful thank you. Found a large bit of calcite and when I got home and remembered I had it I chipped away a little at it and there was a dark green perfectly clear stone about the size of a D100 dice. Now I just have to get it checked and tested.
I would love to see an identification video for just about every gemstone honestly, identifying stones has turned into a bit of a hobby for me. Would it be possible to do Topaz or Sapphire next? maybe even do the big 4, if you do sapphire, since you would be half done.
Very good video, a comparable one for Aquamarine would be interesting, different Chelsea Filter behavior, Dichroscope properties, types of inclusions...
Very educational video and very clear especially for a beginner. Can you on the same topic to make a video on how to identify a natural trapiche emerald ?Merci
I’d like to know more about fire opals - the types, and how to identify them. I’ve seen some that look like opals, and some that are bright orange. What gives?
Wouldve been even more amazing with every imitator undern a microscope as well as various jardens under a microscope as to what they look like in real life Awesome video as always
I would love a run down on craft store bought jewelry stones;tiger eye, agate, aventurine, carnelian, amethyst to name a few. Are they more slumped *(with glass), are they real stones as a rule? Tips for detecting fake or glass selling as genuine stones? I bought a couple strands here and there over the last couple years and pretty sure what I bought, is real but I do see what looks like could be a slumped type stone-the stones look goopy in tone and texture;greens or black grays | murky. Oh! And pearls from those type places…real? Not real? Pearl powder? Compounds that could look like Pearl but not? Thank you! Your channel is fantastic! I learn so much!!
I'm from a part of the US that has beaches with garnet sand. I know Hawaii and other volcanic locations can have peridot/olivine sand. It would be so cool to see a video on gemstones in beach sand.
Thank you for the excellent information! I'd only consider Colombian or Russian natural emerald in a emerald or cushion cut. None of the finest garnets compare to a good emerald
Thank you ..we are learning a lote from your videos ❤.. and I wanna aske you a favour is the Orthoclase kind of gymstonse ? And can it s come in green color ?
I have a spinel. I bought it because I loved the color but I had never heard of a spinel before. What can you tell me about spinels? What makes one valuable or not? What is the best color of a spinel and so forth.
I go to pawn shops looking for my favorite blue color stones like topaz. Very common. But so are others like aquamarine. Just by touching a topaz to my skin, I can feel it is much cooler than an aquamarine or glass, I think...is this true? Would a temperature gauge laser detect a change in temp on topaz surface? Love this stuff.
Hi I found a rather large greenstone appears to be an emerald I think I am unsure where to take it to find out to have it checked I'm in the Port Macquarie area in New South Wales Australia
Yes I have a large size of my hand dark emerald color stone, transparent with light shining through it. Lighter on top darker on bottom. One side is kinda flat with like circle of a food can imprint, one side has tubes straw light straits tubes, and Swirles like a straw like swirl. Very unique, tried the scratch test with scissors not able to scratch it. It is heavy. My Mother in Law gave it to us, it was passed down from her Mother In Law. If it was glass it would scratch.
I know North Carolina is pretty big on a location for finding emeralds, what type of inclusions would they have or how would they differ from the others that you mention?
Great video! You mention that Glass imitating Emerald will likely have chips and rounded edges but emerald's facets and edges will be cleaner, you say it is because it is a 'more valuable material'...the value has nothing to do with the facet edges though...it's actually because emerald is a much harder material and so it can take a sharper facet edge of course...but I know you know this..
Hi, Gr8 information about emerald. I need a favour. Ive lab certified zambian emerald, its 100% Natural emerald but is this possible if i can send u some clear pics so if u can check and tell whether its emerald or something else. Coz what makes me suspicious about this gem is a feather across the stone and silver lines opposite both sides. Looking forward to hear from you...
Hello Sir, I have a small jar full of lose gemstones of all kinds. Are you interested in looking at them to identity and determine lab or natural or just junk and keeping some for yourself for payment of your time and experience?
Hello sir, I am following your channel many times, so I have a question to you that can you explain about gemstones ruby and emblem and I how knowing which ones is real and fake stone ?😊😊
It's a good question that hasn't been settled definitively as of yet. One theory involves the coloring agents themselves, notably the chromium or vanadium causing stress and strain in the crystal lattice as they are incorporated.
I really have to say that there are emeralds from Afghanistan and Pakistan that can compete with the best quality, especially in terms of color and purity and brilliance

Dear Sir, thankyou very much for a great information, my question is that the same method to check blue saphire.....as emrald...?
Thank you for the information brother💯
Thanks for the video, would like to know more about blue sapphires. I ask because I am looking around the world for the best sapphires.
Wow thank you for this tips
Thank you for the excellent information! I'd only consider Colombian or Russian natural emerald in a emerald or cushion cut. None of the finest garnets compare to a good emerald

I have a three carat deep saturated emerald I found in a 100 year old ring old school cushion cut but I'm just not sure it's pretty amazing
Would love know about blue sapphire

Hi,
Gr8 information about emerald.
I need a favour. Ive lab certified zambian emerald, its 100% Natural emerald but is this possible if i can send u some clear pics so if u can check and tell whether its emerald or something else. Coz what makes me suspicious about this gem is a feather across the stone and silver lines opposite both sides. Looking forward to hear from you...
I want to buy some raw emerald. Is there any places that are trusted you could recommend? 😊
Hello Sir, I have a small jar full of lose gemstones of all kinds. Are you interested in looking at them to identity and determine lab or natural or just junk and keeping some for yourself for payment of your time and experience?
Could you show how to identify bead gemstones? How to I know that beads being sold as sapphire are really sapphire?
I’m curious. Would a jadeite filter do the same thing?
I have got some stones that looks very green and some black but when i expose it to the light apears green and I don't know them please help me
Do you have any recommendations to purchasing an emerald I’m looking for one for spiritual reasons.

Hi,I'm having one 40 carat emerald and like to know if it's genuine.If I forward you a pic. will you be able to identify it?
Use a neodymium magnet on a smooth surface for garnet. It's high iron content should be self evident. But remember, not only garnet has iron.
How can find good emrld under the light
hi im on my dads acount but what if you find a green blue rock on top of your dirt? what is that?
I'm interested in arfvedsonite.
why are emeralds so heavily included yet aquamarine or clear beryl are often way less included
It's a good question that hasn't been settled definitively as of yet. One theory involves the coloring agents themselves, notably the chromium or vanadium causing stress and strain in the crystal lattice as they are incorporated.
Where can i buy original emerald
mystic topaz
that would be great
I have an inch malachite and it's still hard to tell even when chipped.
