My machine has paid for itself already. I had several pieces (estate purchase) that we thought were just pretty glass set in silver and they turned out to be purple sapphire and the other was pink sapphire. Another was a man's ring, set in sterling silver and the stones were diamonds. There have been many more since. Definitely worth having if you deal in selling jewelry.
I am actually o.k. at identifying stones and the diff between topaz and aqua marine....thought that the blue was real and blown away that it didn’t register as glass! So very, very pleased that you taught me how to use. Thank you for your generosity! From a gal who hates to read instructions. 😘
Corundum is a crystalline form of aluminum oxide typically containing traces of iron, titanium, vanadium, and chromium. It is a rock-forming mineral. It is also a naturally transparent material but can have different colors depending on the presence of transition metal impurities in its crystalline structure. Corundum has two primary gem varieties: ruby and sapphire. Rubies are red due to the presence of chromium, and sapphires exhibit a range of colors depending on what transition metal is present. So the red variety is classified as "rubies", whilst any other colors would be "sapphires". Sapphires can be green as well.
Green sapphire is a calming stone that symbolizes trust. Its shades range from mint to dark forest. These sapphires are lower in cost because they’re not as rare or as popular as other types. Green sapphires can be purchased as emerald alternatives; they’re just as durable and have fewer inclusions. However, the two gems are usually of equal value
Sapphire/Ruby are merely different colored Corundum. Corundum comes in ALL colors of the rainbow. Often times, a heat/gas treatment is applied to the stone to enhance its inherent color. So, the ring with the large green stones, that tested as being sapphire, was, as indicated, green Corundum/Sapphire.
I've never seen a moonstone that color. I used to work in a shop that sold some jewelry. We had a few rings once that were like the ring with the face. Love it! I wish I had bought one back then. It would've only cost me about $12. It's from Bali, btw. And, I'm almost positive the bone is real.
thank for the video learned a lot love you grandma's ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Beautiful,amazing wonderful piece of jewelry,like the dark green large stoned one as well.
Ruby and sapphire fall in the corundun family. That kind ring kind of look like a rough green corundum. It's cheap and widely available in South Asia. Any hallmark on it?
Yes, there are green sapphires. Sapphires come in every color of the rainbow. I am a Montanan and the Sapphire you are referring to is the Yogo Sapphire it goes from a very very pale blue to the typical Sapphire blue in depth.
The green stone registering as sapphire is most likely synthetic clear sapphire layered on the back or foiled with some sort of metallic or other chemical to give it that look. Sapphire glass as its sometimes call is a hard material they use for a lot of applications and they grow them in a lab. It doesnt scratch so you wont have that terrible "used" look like you do with a lot of costume jewelry that is just glass rhinestones
Hi, great video next month I’m definitely buying this. One question would semi precious stones work with this machine? I’m very new to learning about stone jewelry, thank you in advance!!!
It could be poor quality sapphire, pretty enough to. Make cabachons, but not super gummy.. trust your machine. Also check your loupe for silk inclusions iolite is usually not in rings because it is so soft
there green sapphires the green color forms as a result of the presence of iron in the stone green sapphires can vary dramatically in hue, tone and saturation,from a very light green to an extremely dark, rich color but i am not saying that is what it ts it might be
4:20 the reason it can't tell the difference is because, on the chemical makeup and structure, it is identical. They're the same, one is just made in a lab. There isn't any real difference in quality or anything. I think that the price of natural vs created should be the same due to this, but I don't control the market.
For the huge green silver flower ring: it should be emerald. I have the same thing, but supposedly in ruby (mounted on a cuff bracelet), and it registers funny, too. I forget what it said, but it was not glass. BTW, these are made in India, with rough-cut stones, either dyed corundum, (dyed) genuine ruby/emerald. I bough mine on eBay many years ago. If they are ruby/emerald, the quality is rather poor, and they wouldn't be especially valuable, despite the carat weight. I have a few pieces of this jewelry in mostly ruby.
I have this gem tester and I noticed that all my cubic zirconia will land on the line for “Garnet, Tourmaline and iolite.” I know that Bella Luce from JTV is definitely cubic zirconia and I thought it would test as “glass,” but it tests as “Garnet, Tourmaline and Iolite” on the Presidium Gem Tester II so that is disappointing. Any advice to figure out if the my gems are really garnet, tourmaline and iolite when cubic zirconia gets the same reading with this tester? Allso, will all kinds of garnet such as Tsavorite, Demantoid, Spessartite, Pyrobe, Almadine, Rhodolite, Hessonite and all other varieties of garnet all test as “Garnet,” on the Presidium Gem Tester II?
the multi green stone ring, could it be "Eilat Stone"? I have a large pendant that looks just like your stones. which is a stone that is mined in copper mines in Israel, which Israel, has stopped mining, and the price of the Eilat stones pricing in going up
Green zoisite? Plus it’s cut in Cabochon and that’s typical In African Ruby’s and other darker gemstones. Red Ruby’s also are found in green zoisite. That’s what makes me think that’s it. 🧐🤔
that's not the best for the price, you can buy them that tells the difference in diamonds and mossanite. There is a big difference in them for sure. Mossanites do conduct electric and diamonds do not, so the tester would know the difference in diamonds and mossanites. You can really get ripped off with that tester.

So in the old days sterling had diamonds
@@fabulouslifeinchrist1349 You can purchase new sterling jewelry with diamonds.

You must hold it on the metal part of the pen.If hold it above the metalic part of the pen your reading will be mistaken.

Yes, they are Balinese, and the bone probably is real. Some moonstone is is that color (called peach moonstone). I have a bracelet with a few stones.
Thank you for sharing and teaching about the gem tester.
Thanks again
Margaret, thanks for sharing. It was a party! with beautiful gem candy!
Yes! Sapphires are also green! Awesome find!
The green stones could be green ruby.
Just got my tester Thank you so much for this video
Hi Margaret, great video. Very enlightening.
The green stones are dyed corundum. It's a common emerald simulant.
thank for the video learned a lot love you grandma's ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Beautiful,amazing wonderful piece of jewelry,like the dark green large stoned one as well.
Wow, that is so awesome! Didn’t even know these existed! 😲
Wow! This would answer so many of questions! I am going to check it out! Thanks for sharing!
These green stones in the ring are definitely a very rare green sapphire stones... It's a fortune
Ruby and sapphire fall in the corundun family. That kind ring kind of look like a rough green corundum. It's cheap and widely available in South Asia. Any hallmark on it?
Just 925
That looks like it! Thank you!
Correct.
I have tester envy!!!
Moss agate with the quartz Crystal ..
HGE “Heavy “ gold electroplate not hard 😳😉
Great tutorial. Very interesting👍🏼 Thank You!
Curved striae in sapphire are common in synthetic sapphire...green is an extremely uncommon natural color in corundum. :) So sapphire, but synthetic.
Green Sapphire, maybe?
I agree from Sri Lanka.....green sapphire...amazing ring...loved this video .....I too have tester envy....
Yes, there are green sapphires. Sapphires come in every color of the rainbow. I am a Montanan and the Sapphire you are referring to is the Yogo Sapphire it goes from a very very pale blue to the typical Sapphire blue in depth.
Did you know Ruby's can be other colors? Not just red/pink.
I thought everything that is not red is a sapphire
I always thought the cal was for calcite learn something new all the time xxx
And sapphire can be green as well.
Great video! I am saving up for one. Always love your videos
New to this started Rick hounding thanks for the info super helpful

so what is it??? hmmmm….
That pink tourmaline is actually a party tourmaline. Nice.
Hi, great video next month I’m definitely buying this. One question would semi precious stones work with this machine? I’m very new to learning about stone jewelry, thank you in advance!!!
In my younger years I hated my birth stone peridot but I love it.
August - me too I hated the yellow green and melted down a gold ring given to me with one it - such a dumb kid!
Have you had mixed results between diamond and moissanite? Where does the needle land with moissanite? Help
"chris-o-prase" just like it looks
I wonder if your green stone mystery ring is an enhanced green sapphire; it has to be some type of sapphire, right?
Hey do you actually buy raw Sapphire, obsidian Opal (blue)
It’s a green sapphire. There’s a green sapphire and they’re natural as I saw on the video.
It could be poor quality sapphire, pretty enough to. Make cabachons, but not super gummy.. trust your machine. Also check your loupe for silk inclusions iolite is usually not in rings because it is so soft
Hey, I was noticing your listings - you have a cute pair of Edgar Berebi earrings listed with key wording the maker. (Cowboy Indian)
Thank you!
its beautiful green sapphire
Very interesting and helpful! Tyfs 😘
You grandma ring is gorgeous.
I want your grandmas ring lol😍
That green stone ring could be Serephinite (Clinochlore).
I'm thinking the green stone ring might be Corundum so that's why it's registering sapphire, ruby
That's what's going on with my tester. Seldom does it register emerald for the rough-cut Indian rubies and emeralds.
Awesome video 👏👏🎉 thanks
there green sapphires the green color forms as a result of the presence of iron in the stone green sapphires can vary dramatically in hue, tone and saturation,from a very light green to an extremely dark, rich color but i am not saying that is what it ts it might be
Your green stones ring looks like Labradorite (to me)
Is it working in rough diamonds?

Malachite, maybe on the green ring?
