      Sugilite! Ugly mineral except for areas over on the east coast of the ring of fire I think. Named for a Japanese mineralogist and a gorgeous deep purple, veined. Totally same kinda story as Larimar, normally not pretty mineral but ions make it fire!

    13:07 Most importantly, Pectolite is a Photo-sensitive gemstone, which means constant exposure to Sunlight or strong man-made light can cause the color to fade. Once the fading starts, the only way to stop it is wear the Stone after the sun goes completely down and in moderately lit places. NOBODY mentions that Larmiar is Photo-sensitive to Sunlight or bright lights. Knowing this will save the life of the color of your Stone. Many people aren't told this and it's our job to tell them!

    • @gems
      @gems  Місяць тому

      It would be verrrrry hard to make such a chart because of all the variables involved with specimens - how gemmy is the color? The translucency? How distinct are the terminations? What kind of material is the matrix? Etc… it often comes down to aesthetic appeal.

      Ametrine is a form of quartz, just like ruby and sapphire are both forms of corundum. What makes ametrine unique is that the coloring elements dispersed in such a way as to get a gradient of orange (citrine) to purple (amethyst)…the chrome diopside we see largely comes from stockpiles mined before the war.

      Watermelon tourmaline isn't described as being part rubilite (think that's what red tourmaline is called) and part whatever green tourmaline is called. It's just two toned tourmaline. Since quartz isn't very special (well this one is nicely unique) it just seemed a bit strange.

    4:44 Pleochroism is NOT a Phenomenon according to the G.I.A. You don't want to confuse people by telling them that Pleochroism is a Phenomenon. That is a huge mistake!! A Phenomenon is a very specific visual effect. In fact, Pleochroism has its own section and specific rules for notation for a G.I.A. report and for doing Stone Charts for G.I.A. Assignments and the Final Exam. Phenomenon is listed as (PH) under the General Observations section. If any G.I.A. student puts "Pleochroism" in the Phenomenon section for the 20 Stone Final Exam... THEY WILL FAIL THE ENTIRE EXAM!!

      Not saying that sugilite and larimar are the same color, of course, blue and purple are not the same 😅 just that they're both plain Jane boring minerals that have crazy colorful specimens from very specific localities
