Would love to see these videos for Ruby, Sapphire and other stones that require more thought to identify. This is amazing.
hi, is this chelsea color filter working on brute uncut emerald? i planing to go to Columbia and buy most brute emeralds, thanks
@@aleksandarsokolovski405 You need a transparent to low Translucent stone for this to work.
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!
I really appreciate your videos, Rob. I'd love to see more videos like this, specifically for identifying sapphires!
Have I got some good news for you!...ua-cam.com/video/uRMwRwoDbYc/v-deo.html
Love the vivid color of emerald 💚
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!
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
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!!!
Glad I found this channel. Much to learn. Can learn it here. 💎
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’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?
Like Roseann Rosanna Danna used to say 'It's always something ' when it comes to stuff in emeralds. 😊
Fascinating. So glad to come across this video.
Thank you for the information brother💯
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.
Thanks Rob🙏🙏🙏
Good video, I would like to see more like that.
Would love know about blue sapphire
I saw this as an ad and came to watch the full thing
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.
Very good video, a comparable one for Aquamarine would be interesting, different Chelsea Filter behavior, Dichroscope properties, types of inclusions...
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.
Great idea!
mystic topaz
that would be great
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 ?
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..
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!!
설명이 재미있네요.👍
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.
Yes
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?
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.
How about look have small bubles in gemstone? Sintetic or Natural Emarald?
I’m curious. Would a jadeite filter do the same thing?
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.
Nice
Could you show how to identify bead gemstones? How to I know that beads being sold as sapphire are really sapphire?
I have emerald Colombia and Brazilian and zambia,, I'm cek with UV light can see Colombia more red florescent
I have a mystery stone. It looks like black glass. I wondering if its black obsidian.
How can find good emrld under the light
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 ?😊😊
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?
Vintage turquoise-coloured green fire opal (???)
Please show me how to identity rough precious metals and rough precious stones such as diamond's
If you can scratch (and chip) with a sharp pointed steel pick, is it certain to be a fake emerald?
I'm interested in arfvedsonite.
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...
hi im on my dads acount but what if you find a green blue rock on top of your dirt? what is that?
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?
Eu tenho uma verdelita
L'aventurine, le YAG et l'émeraude synthétique sont plus résistants aux chocs que l'émeraude naturelle.
I have an inch malachite and it's still hard to tell even when chipped.
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.
i have two gems one looks like a jag emerald color and the other gem is a amber gem. Can you help me please gemstone team
May I let u know if my emerald is real emerald or a yag? Not now coz I’m still waiting for it from another country.
Amazing information, what bugs me though is what can be found on the market as the emerald tumble stone, which looks nothing like what I saw on this channel. Are emerald tumble stones real or fake?
It really depends on the material. We have seen actual emerald tumble stones, often a darker green color, heavily included and possibly with bits of matrix mixed in. Other stones maybe a more common material, like quartz, that is dyed. Look closely for dye concentration in the fractures.
@@gems Thank you for your response. I saw these tumble stones at different suppliers, and I thought they may be a mix with matrix but the green part, the Emerald is not translucent, it is opaque.
I have a stone like emerald green color
I'd like to learn how to identify nephrite versus jadeite!

I have a gem stone i would like to identify

My birthstone is emerald
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
Does jedora sell real stuff? Like are they legit or scam
It's legit
Video on best way to color match gem stones…
Not mentioned inclusion type of Colombian etc
I’m pretty sure my dads birthstone is emerald.
Is there nothing special about Colombian emeralds? They somehow look different to me.
Colombian emeralds are very special! Speaking very generally, they often have a greater amount of chromium and less iron, producing a more unique green. More on the interesting geology behind them here: ua-cam.com/video/8LzKNVZvR2g/v-deo.html
What a cutie😊
Synthetic emeralds and imitation emeralds are not the same thing. Synthetic emeralds are real emeralds, just ones made in a lab. Immitation emeralds are other stones or glass that are being passed off as emeralds, these are the fakes.
Bro you’re over here drawing when you should be showing us examples
Pakistan doesn’t have Emerald. It’s from Afghanistan and people illegally without paying taxes taken them there and Pakistan sells it on the world market under their gemstones unfortunately. That’s extremely sad.
You don't have information on Afghanistan panjser emerald..
Pakistan 🇵🇰 doesn't have emerald.
Pakistan stealing emerald from Afghanistan 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Can you resurge please thanks
Gubelin did more justice to emerald synthetics than this program. Do better guys. FGAA.
The best emerald comes from Afghanistan. You need to do more research .Sir
