I am so biased but would love to see more location-specific videos - for example "if you're travelling to this place - what gems/minerals would you recommend looking out for?" & I would definitely love more videos on Australia and our crazy mineral rich land
I actually bought a pair of chrome diopside earrings from JTV, and I love them and ALWAYS get compliments on them. People love that deep shade of green.
I'd love to see yttrium fluorite and black tourmalated quartz.. actually any jewelry-quality quartz with natural inclusions . Also very interested in what some folks describe as "master record keepers" or trigonic record keepers.. these natural triangular etchings on clear quartz.
I'm in awe with all the information you guys know about these different gems. How long did it take you to learn all these things and how do you retain so many dates, facts and details about each gemstone? It's so cool! Am loving this channel as I'm learning about gemnology myself and this is so fun!
Great examples of all! Love it. Moss agate seems to be going up in price, due to popularity? Who knows. I happily get lost staring into moss agate. Still very affordable compared to the rest. Thanks for the informative videos with all the eye candy, ya'll.
A video about faceted industrial grade gems such as Lutetium Yttrium Oxyorthosilicate (LYSO), lithium niobate, or lutetium aluagluminium garnet (LuAG) would be very cool!
I recently bought some tanzanite pieces from Jtv. Absolutely love them. I feel much calmer when I wear tanzanite. I am now buying all the gems associated with my astrological sign ♉
I love Tanzanite, but it is very expensive and because all the stones are heat treated, its hard for the average person to tell from natural and manmade stones. And ive heard of chrome diopside but i knew almost nothing about them. And i love emeralds, but finding them in good quality where they are transparent and not so cloudy they look more like jade then emerald! This is a much better option then lab created emerald, which is the only way to afford and emerald thats not so heavily included that its worthless. Chrome Diopside is a beautiful option for a green gem! And the color is awesome! And pearls are a gem that will never go out of style! And thank you to the poor oysters that had to be annoyed so badly they formed the pearls! That would suck so bad! But pearls are beautiful, and elegant, and can go with whatever you are wearing since they come in w huge array of colors, sizes, and shapes! and you can find pearls in very affordable varieties, and some very expensive ones too! Thanks you guys, for your knowledge and information about these gems!Its awesome and so are you!
Id say black gems and stones like Sapphire, spinel, obsidian etc are very popular. I see people paying 1000%+++ more then market value for these in jewlery. Tanzanite, morganite and colored diamonds id say are some of the most trending gemstones.
Great vid showing what’s hot in gems for 2024. I’m big into ethically and sustainably produced gem stones. Not having access to labs or even the availability to check before I buy on line I have to be trusting that when they say it’s synthetically lab made gems that they are indeed gem made in a lab and not coloured glass. I’d love to know how to know what you’re buying is truly what they say they are selling. In particular there are two gems that I would like to know more about that have been synthetically produced, sapphires in all its coloured variations. I have bought a yellow 6 ct radiant cut sapphire which I love which is set in a deco arrangement with four white sapphires cut as baguettes. It’s a beautiful ring and even if it’s glass I’ll still love it. I also bought an emerald cut blue sapphire (8 ct) and it’s a spectacular ring. A real statement piece but I have no idea if it’s the real deal. Is there any way to know? The second stone I would like more info on is lab created alexandrite. I think both colours depending on the lighting are absolutely beautiful. Of the stones I’ve seen the most stunning have been the asscher cut due to their depth of colour and refraction. How can I tell if I’m buying the real deal and not some other transformative gem? With lab grown gems becoming more popular more info about them would be gratefully received. While we are not spending vast sums of money as they are synthetic, we do want to know that we bought is what we thought we bought. Ethical and sustainability issues are becoming more important and while the jewellery industry may dislike the increase in the purchase of lab grown diamonds and other gem stones they are going to be a feature for the foreseeable future so info from the experts would be of great value. It doesn’t diminish your artistry in producing fabulous jewellery, but it does open up new markets to those that have been excluded due to the exclusivity and price of the gems and the designing that went into the production of jewelled works of art, in fact it may well increase the market for everyone wants to sparkle and make a flash!
In jewelry, you hate to buy stones under an 8 in hardness and that might explain why chrome dioxide isn't more popular. It's a beautiful green but you'd have to stop at earrings, or baby your ring.
Natural diamonds are millions of years old. Are Lab grown diamonds able to last a really long time too? Are their durability just as good as natural ones? I like the idea that gemstones naturally grown possess an energy from the earth that might have these mystic magic powers whereas in a lab it just feels commercial, rushed and empty. It feels clinical, sterile and not made with love. I am a romantic purist at heart 😂
Suggestion for a gem to talk about: zultanite. It has all sorts of color voodoo going on. The piece I have changes color in different lighting conditions, and it has pleochroism with different colors from different angles. It has orange, reddish brown, yellowish green, and is super bright apple green in certain indoor light. It's fascinating! It used to only come from one mine in Turkey. But recently, there was a deposit discovered in Mexico, which led to some legal drama over naming rights.
Zandrite was created as an imitation alexandrite or something? Also, I always thought pearls were boring but the Tahitian ones and those crazy shaped ones are anything but!
chromium diopside is not gonna sell as well until it changes its name to something more poetic and less intimidating. it should have a natural name, not just a scientific one like stuff from a lab do. edit: Rob looks a bit like he’s sick, if that’s the case hope he’ll feel better !!!
That’s bc ppl don’t understand a great gemstone, which in turn keeps the cost down. The fact that it was born in Siberia says so much for the exquisite stone. ❤️
Everyone selling Tanzanite brings up the single source and makes claims of rarity, but there always seems to be massive quantities of large high quality new gemstones available.
Relatively affordable ........ Chrome diopside?...that looks like peridot. All mine is true green... And now...colored glass. One way to loose credibility.
I am so biased but would love to see more location-specific videos - for example "if you're travelling to this place - what gems/minerals would you recommend looking out for?" & I would definitely love more videos on Australia and our crazy mineral rich land
Striped flint - it is found only in one region of Poland, near the towns of Sandomierz, Opatów, Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski and Iłża.
❤I would like to see their as well. Even more so by STATE
I would love to see Labradorite and different colors of Rutilated Quartz: Black, Gold, Bronze, Green and especially RED!
The Tanzanite ring is absolutely incredible, it's everything I love in a piece of jewelry 😍
I actually bought a pair of chrome diopside earrings from JTV, and I love them and ALWAYS get compliments on them. People love that deep shade of green.
3:00, When you said "Tear Drops" it reminded me of "Apache Tears". One of my favorite Volcanic rocks. ❤️🌎👑

I stumbled upon chrome diopside during the last gem and mineral show I went to a couple months ago. I can't wait to buy more.
Oooh, I like black spinel! That's pretty! 🖤
So is that moss agate necklace.
I normally wear my Alexandrite ring. I really love the color change in different light.
Pearls are my all-time favorite. What is the hardness of the Zandrite? Never seen it before.
It's a man-made glass, so the hardness is probably 5-6.
I love this channel. You guys have inspired me to join the international gem society and become certified. ❤

The moss agate is nice❤ I have some color that is not in your cab set. It is also fluorescent (green) when under UV light
so beautiful. thanks guys!

All Tanzanite is treated!
Iolite is a great alternative to tanzanite. Cheap, beautiful, untreated, and harder than tanzanite.
I like seeing them all, but the chrome dioxide is the winner for me
Thanks for sharing.

I learn so much about gems from this channel! Thanks for always having great and interesting content. Rock on! 🤘

Where can I find the Loop that screws on the Mag. Lite ??
Thanks.
I love the blue Tanzanite! I'm sure You can tell by now that I love blue.😎
Hi love your guy’s videos! Would you consider making a video just on moss agate?
Beautiful pearls and the stones as well 😊
I would love to see some of our lovely hosts’ jewelry. What are y’all wearing?
I’ve watched this video like 5 times since it was released. I’m so tempted to buy jewelry with these gems
Let us know if you need help finding some you love!
@@gems Does moss agate fade when exposed to sunlight?... From what I know, some agates and chalcedonies could fade in sunlight.
❤MY! Although it's MM, That ZAND! Wooooh! Oh! My! I like that ring you Guys showcased it in! Very nice 👌

That Zandrite is a pretty stone. You can do some things with that 🙂
Happy Lunar New Year!

How do you know which sites are reputable in order to buy..black spinel..moss agate.. chrome diopside?
Suggestion for a gem to talk about: zultanite.
It has all sorts of color voodoo going on. The piece I have changes color in different lighting conditions, and it has pleochroism with different colors from different angles. It has orange, reddish brown, yellowish green, and is super bright apple green in certain indoor light. It's fascinating!
It used to only come from one mine in Turkey. But recently, there was a deposit discovered in Mexico, which led to some legal drama over naming rights.
Wonderful video! How about sunstone from different parts of the world including the State of Oregon?
Amazing, i love, thank you
Thanks
Zandrite was created as an imitation alexandrite or something?
Also, I always thought pearls were boring but the Tahitian ones and those crazy shaped ones are anything but!
I am a jewelry acholic and love Me some gemstones 🥰
Good vibes from your energy field.
Have you done a video on natural Zircon?
Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/FhHs5LiaUjc/v-deo.html
Tsavorite of course
Do you cover non stones like jet & amber?
We have in the past, and will certainly do so again! ua-cam.com/video/_W437L3WKDk/v-deo.html
Emeralds green has a bluish color also and I would never change for any other gem
I would appreciate seeing ammonite, jewelry or stones.
Cool to see moss agate on here, i find tons of it in the rivers near me!
Should have added Iolites, it has natural color that could match Tanzanites.
They are also harder than tanzanites. And cheaper.
Who makes that lab grown diamond ring? That’s a great design!
I was love to see a video about the feldspar group! So many interesting stones there!
I read that zandrite is only a hardness of 5 -- too soft for rings?
Great video I have some gemstones I have some chrome diopside
Good morning everyone
gemstone time 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I would love to see unboxing of super 7 sphere. Do share if you have it. Thxs 😊
What is the difference between black spinel and franklinite?
Please show names on every group love the show
Chrome diop so pretty
More about ❤ the pearl
I love moss agate. I love crystal with inclusions 😍😍😍 it's their time !
Please consider highlighting Turkish color change diaspore! My favorite. 🤩
Zultanite aka Csarite
Beautiful
Happy to say I own 5 of the 7 most popular gems. Thanks for the review!
Love dendritic agate
Someday will you do Turkish Diopside, a real color changing gemstone.
We actually covered Zultanite here: ua-cam.com/video/ZwV49xj6lUM/v-deo.html
I just watched that episode. It was a big disappointment. Y’all can, and should , do a better episode. JS
@@DabblinDawn It wasn't nearly as good as most of the videos, was it?
Not diopside, but diaspor.
The word “organic” completely gives me a pet peeve. Moss Agate just sounds “organic” and it’s not. Irksome. Great video 😎💕
nice
Do a video on spinel.please❤️
Happy to! ua-cam.com/video/I6S0LwOwMdo/v-deo.html

Moss agate is bae
Definitely don't consider glass a gemstone 😂 I now know to avoid zandrite, not going to waste my money on glass.
Gabbro indigo
If Chrome Dioxide had a better name more people would buy it
JTV
Rob got rizz
Relatively affordable
........
Chrome diopside?...that looks like peridot. All mine is true green...
And now...colored glass. One way to loose credibility.
Again JTV
I'm not sure right now is the time to be promoting Russian gems giving what they are currently doing.
