I'm a goat farmer and with a blithe disregard for the fact that I'm in Ireland not Ethiopia, I'm going opal hunting on my land tomorrow! Loved this collection of stones.
Yeah, show more! These are very special. BTW Nice to see the ponytail gone. You and Rob are smart, cool and look great without the pseudo-hipster hair.
Lovely lazurite specimen 👍 Tis a pity that the euclase didn't display the iconic light blue colour it's so often prized for, having said that, it would still be nice to pick up a specimen with some decent inclusions for microscopic analysis. Very tempting...😉
We typically show our gems in longwave UV light, which is 315-400nm. That is what we used here. More gems will show fluorescence in shortwave UV, but it is dangerous to look directly at, so we rarely use it for our videos.
Tom really feels like a gem seller. He present gemstones to sell them tu us. He might be very good at it, but I think it gives a cold impression in videos instead of just gem passion and love, it's a bit more calculating. I don't hate it, I just feel more like watching infomercials than gemstone content
I disagree with your assessment that Tom gives a cold impression. Having watched his JTV Extra shows or guest spots with show hosts, his passion for gems is unmistakably genuine and candid. Just a reminder: these videos are produced by a BUSINESS whose intention is to SELL things.
Wow there is definitely more than 1000cts in clinohumite 😂 ive faceted so many and know there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of carats of facet grade pieces out there
Tom brought us some really cool stuff we had not seen before! What was your fave? Would you like to see more from this collection? Let us know!
Demantoid, their fire is CRAZY!
More please!

Yes please never stop sharing 💎💎💎
Green garnets (of all kinds) are some of my favorite stones! They're just so vibrant and striking!
WOW. Beautiful stones and stories. Thanks guys. GREAT to see you again.
Very fun to see some uncommon specimens!
Thank you for giving us more closer looks. I wish I could have seen that peridot though. :)
Some incredible pieces! The tsavorite garnet is stunning
Beautiful pieces! QUESTION???
Do you have a video on how you clean SPECIMENS?
Would love to know!
Fantastic! I love the variety in garnet.
These are all so beautiful! I would love a part 2! You guys should also do a video on the craziest gemstone discovery stories
To quote Count Dracula "Fang-tastic!" The rare and exotics are always my favorites.
That taaffeite was super neat. Would love to see a video on both taaffeite and musgravite. :)
Awesome. I hadn’t heard of a lot of these!
I learn so much!! Thanks!!
Yeah, show more! These are very special.
BTW Nice to see the ponytail gone. You and Rob are smart, cool and look great without the pseudo-hipster hair.
Awesome pieces 😊
Oh no. It's Home Shopping Network now.
I'd like to see a lake superior agate session! Cool specimines.
How do I get pictures to you all ?
Lovely lazurite specimen 👍

What wavelength of UV light do you use to see the florescence with ruby (etc.)? Or is it any UV light?
We typically show our gems in longwave UV light, which is 315-400nm. That is what we used here. More gems will show fluorescence in shortwave UV, but it is dangerous to look directly at, so we rarely use it for our videos.
Good evening Gems team
I want them all. 😆 Oups my wallet is not thick enough 😅🤣 Have an happy year guys!

I agree! It doesn't feel like a hobby when he's presenting things for some reason lol

Wow there is definitely more than 1000cts in clinohumite 😂 ive faceted so many and know there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of carats of facet grade pieces out there
