Got a question (apart from the topic at hand in this video)....Could you make a video that can help us to determine the "best" light source to assess color "grade" of colored stones? IMHO, diffused outdoor light, such as overcast skis (where you can not see the sun) or under a shade tree in full sun conditions...Lots of my stones when viewed under direct sun have great sparkle BUT i see too much dark areas in the overall stone.... I heard that AGL is developing an indoor light system to help standardize the many light options available...I assume it will be about 5500 kelvin?
Thank you for the suggestion! I agree, direct sunlight is not ideal for grading stones. Most gemologists and gemological labs work in dark conditions save for the specific light they are using. Most use fluorescent lightbulbs which are 5000-6000K and daylight equivalent, which you can also find online!
i have an untreated mozambique slightly purplish RED ruby, but like you said it does not have that super boosting chromium red stoplight pop in sunshine...Thanks for the great video...DO you think it is OK to refer to pigeon blood "color" and differentiating that from a pigeon blood "stone" (which would mean specific color AND untreated AND eye clean AND good cut) ?
In my opinion, it is always best for everyone to avoid generalized terms in order to avoid confusion! Instead, it's often easier to clarify a stone's hue, tone, saturation, clarity, source etc. specifically.
