Really?
Same here! I find his presentations easy and informative 😊
I'm testing that statement :)
I had no idea about the controversy between chromium and venadium. Genuinely fascinating.
In my opinion, Pakistani emeralds from the Swat valley region, and, in particular from the Gujar Killi mine are world class.
These emeralds are often found to be comparable in quality and colour to some of the best Brazilian and Columbian stones yet considerably less costly when looking for a top quality stone, although, sometimes stones from the Swat valley contain excessive iron which may subdue the brightness whilst contributing to a more blueish hue.
It's all a matter of personal taste when it comes to gemstones,
I, myself am in agreeance with the general market in that I prefer emeralds with a slight blueish hue to those with more yellowish overtones, however, I know some people who prefer the more yellowish greens from Columbia, and, others who simply love the darker greens often seen in Zambian emeralds.
Emeralds can be a bit tricky though with the acceptance of oiling, and, it being so prevalent in the industry, oiling has a way of hiding most of, if not, all of the surface reaching fractures, making it hard to be sure of what you're looking at.
A detailed report, or, personal access to gemological equipment is a real benefit when purchasing emeralds for investment purposes.
For those who simply want a gorgeous stone and don't care so much about the provenance, I'd suggest a hydrothermal synthetic emerald, they're in my opinion the most beautiful of the synthetics available.
12 years ago I walked into a local independent jewelry store and the lady I spoke to was very interested in making my dream of an emerald ring come true. May birthday so I've always wanted a birthstone ring. I picked out a setting and they ordered some emeralds for me to pick from. No one else has a ring exactly like mine. Most stores are - this is what we have, take it or leave it. I've also purchased a few of their estate sale rings, and I recommend them to my friends.

Great video! Seriously the most educational and informative. Thanks!
Very interesting. I absolutely loved your video. I’m trying to increase my knowledge on different types of stones and you’re a very fine teacher. Very well explained. Very well. Thank you for your video.
Very nice and crisp information. Thanks
Love the information that I am getting from you about gem stones!
Very interesting and informative...thank you!
Thank you for sharing! Enjoyed the video! Very educational!
I went to Colombia to buy Emeralds, i got hustled by a jeweler, went through alot to get my money back, afterwards i found a Jewelry store that was honest and provided me with astonishing beautiful emeralds and at great price i`ve learned alot from your video thanks and keep it up!
Fascinated by the world of jewelry. Wish I'd known about this channel years ago.
Thank you for yet another great video. I really enjoy when you elaborate on the physics background. The crystallization and the inclusions etc.
With kind regards

Very informative, I have subscribed! Thank you
Very informational! Great job bubba
My Mom’s birthday was May 1st. One day, she told me she wished she had been born a day earlier cause her birthstone would be a diamond … I then told her she didn’t do to bad getting a freakin emerald!
Thanks for imparting the valuable knowledge... I love Emerald 🌸
Thanks for watching!
Very informative video. Thank you ❤
Very informative video, good job, thank you
So very interesting :) Since I'll never be able to afford an emerald, I opted for a chrome diopside ring. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE my chrome diopside. The green is absolutely stunning and nearly flawless in the clarity. BUT, it''s also a softer stone so yes, I am careful with it.
Great video and information! Love your videos man! I’m very interested in buying emeralds.. I was seeing if you do one on ones over FaceTime to teach me more emeralds
Really great video. Just discovered you, and subscribed after this informative, no-nonsense lesson! Thank you!

Another great video
thank you for sharing
Really interesting thank you
Emerald of my heart. Thank you for healing oh dear emerald. This video really helped me study how special these precious gems are.
Hi, I watched your video, very informative. I come from Swat in Pakistan which is famous for intense green very high quality emeralds. I would love to have regular communication with someone who has abundance of knowledge like you. Can I have your email?
finally some really good video about real information, not all that that spiritual and superstitious shit
Thanks. Nice information
Glad to hear!
Very informative video. About inclusions. I have an emerald and 18K gold pinky ring that I got a few years ago while on vacation. The inclusions are visible to the naked eye but you have to get up close with the stone to see them. The inclusions are wispy and found in the middle of the rectangular cut gem. To me, with you back up, the "jardin" gives the emerald a lush, velvety appearance. This is one of the three "serious" rings that I own, and one that I only wear on special occasions. I also have a pair of Chatham emerald stud earrings set in 14K. You can really see the difference when you put the natural emerald next to the lab created. The latter is much more saturated with more sparkle. Still, the character of the natural emerald makes it a favorite.
Glad it was helpful. And yes, character can be important!
Thanks your video is very informative. Hope your channel grows fast. Good luck.
Thank you
I loved this in-depth look at emeralds! 🤓 It's so interesting to learn about the history, characteristics, and properties of these beautiful gemstones. A great resource for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of emeralds. 💎
Thanks for interesting show with direct, understandable narrative that makes sense. curious to see if you have tanzanite info. There is info all over the place, I was interested in your take. Research, it's all about the ride...and when we get there, it will be good and we will be better because of it. Again, thanks. db
Great Job on the Channel (Gave you a sub) Wanted to ask about so called ,,Russian Emeralds,, do they have something common with normal Emerald? Also do they have some good value or not much ? Thank you :)
Are they demantoid? I know that Russia is famous for demantoid which is green and also prized. Idk if they are the same mineralogically speaking
Russian emeralds are emeralds in the same "strictu senso" as Colombian ones. The fact is that they might contain, or not, iron in their composition.
But, they are also beautiful and expensive.
The most valuable ones are the Colombian ones, with few or not inclusions and slightly bluish green.
Each country has unique emerals .some emerals container vanadium and cromium so with cromium are more valuable than vanidium
This videos are amazing, I love Colombian gems, they are the best!
Thank you💞 for the education, 📀
Thank you.
So very informative ❤
Very good info, I've recently inherited a ring which has a natural incredibly small emerald in it, am trying to find out if it's worth appraising or not but I'm guessing it is. It's gorgeous despite it's size it has this beautiful shine too it when it catches the light just right.
Lovely exposition of emerald history. Wonder if you can recommend where in Dubai and USA I can get my emeralds, rubies, jade and others evaluated and certified. Thanks
Hi, love your video. I'm from South Africa 🌍 have inherited stones from my father who passed when I was 11 all emerald and beryl and some diamonds. Mining was his hobby, I'm in my 50s now and want to sell them but don't know how to go about this. Can you please advise me on the how to. Much appreciated🙏
Very nice
Awesome!
Hi there,
Very interesting and educational video. Thank you for that.
I found it interesting to know how important it is to know how the stone is processed with oil and not dyed .
Durability argument also means a lot. I am planning to buy the emerald set for my 60th birthday this year. Present 🎁 to ME😁 thinking about it for few years so this information is very useful.👍🏽
Hlo Mrs Trupti Mehta, If u need than I can help to find natural and affordable price emerald.
بسیار عالی متشکرم
Thanks for all the great information. Are you also a rock and meniral collector. I live jewelry too but I also am a Rockhound I've collected them my hole Life. Some are found some are payed for. But I think it's all very interesting.
I have a 2.8 carat swat emerald (almost transparent) set in my ring. It’s my favourite
Happy New Year 2023 !
Nice video
HI
Great video
Do you know i trapiche emerald usually is most valuable than great normal emerald ? and. star emerald?
i bought an emerald bead choker at a thrift shop, it is of course filled with inclusios and opaque, and a lovely forrest green color, beads have multiple facets (briolet?) granduated size, biggest about 1.5 cm. cost was $300 $US so shall i assume it is dyed and resin filled? thanks for your great video!
Great video!! I've been waiting for you to do a video on the emerald. I've noticed most jewelers only sell lab-created emeralds. Is it difficult to find a jeweler that will sell a natural emerald and is it hard to find a good emerald?
Given there price point, there are a lot of jewelers ( especially chains) that choose not to carry much, if any, natural Emerald. If you go into a reputable independent jeweler you will likely find them willing to source what you are looking for. But sadly, not a lot of inventory to browse. Thanks for watching!
If in the USA, then visit Peter Marco, the jeweller, I'm sure you can get what you want.
@@mahmoudrubeya7876 Any raw emerald source recommendations?
Edit: perhaps‘course’ is the word I intended.
Check out Zambian Emeralds. Really affordable and mined by locals.
🇾🇪🇳🇱I want to help the state of Yemen
Oh Very good lesson for me about plz also analyse ruby and topaz
I bought one ...I am in the Phase of waiting for it. 2,54 ct from Zambia. With fissures and oiled. But I still already Love it. I really Don’t know if I made a Good Shot with the Price. I think even Experts exaggerate the actual worth to make Business.
Hi! You mentioned that emeralds can be very hard, but fragile when not being perfectly clear. An emerald without imperfections would be durable enough to wear every day (like an engagement ring)? Or would you recommend another kind of stone? Any other in green color? :)
My wife has worn her lab grown emerald for years and hasn't broken it. Of course, lab grown have fewer inclusions and are therefore less fragile. Also, the emeralds recovered from the shipwreck of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha were on the sea bottom for 300 years and seem to have survived just fine, so are they really so fragile?
Hi I have recently bought an emerald and wearing it in a ring for astrological purpose. Should I oil that emerald to keep it in good condition? If yes then could you pls let me know which oil to use and the process please
Tbh I want to know now the differences between emeralds coming from different countries. Which places produce more blue specimens for instance, what political situations these areas face, all of these things are part of a piece’s story
very nice had a most information we want but I hope you talked more different between the rich one and the light one etc... and starting price but thanks :D
Pricing is literally all over the place, but you ultimately get what you pay for most of the time. You can find Emerald almost dirt cheap, but it either won’t be natural or it look very poor in quality.
Thankyou for the education. Please ad Tanzania to your list. We do have Emeralds. Same or more to zambian one. We share the same platau. Thanks.
Emerald. Or, the Green Lantern stone as I like to call it 😎 Lovely gemstone.
I like these things because they have the properties as money there small & storable have with changeable values
I have a question for you sir how to recognize if the rough emeralds are oiled or heated or any other sort of treated
Great video . If I wanted to buy / make fake and great looking for fantasy ring ect.. where and what should I start looking ? Been to Micheals but to cheap looking . EX: if I wanted to buy one and wanted to pay 100 bucks for it as a fantasy item that looks fun and beautiful . Thank hope to hear from you soon . I am looking into making fun jewelry for my self to start with .
I've noticed the Mouzo mines emeralds are much lighter in hue, but still very expensive, is this just indicative of that mines material?
I want to know if you got emerald on the surface which already burned (it looked like chalco)there is possibility of finding fine emerald under the ground?and second it is possibility emerald can be found near the river?
Welcome Gary
My fav stone
Emeralds are one of my top 3 favorite stones I’m just trying to do some research
I have a emerald , the color is dark green well like six of them still in the stone, how do I sell it? And how much are they worth? Maybe four CT.
Can you do a video on raw natural beautiful stones
what treatments do they do on lab grown emeralds?
thank you i did not know that about chrome.
I love the darker emerald with no light color
How rare is the darker emerald with no light?
Hello, I acquired a vintage sterling silver ring with a square green stone in the center surrounded by silver also in the square shape... It looks just like an Emerald, and is still green under UV light... But it has a scratch on it. 😢 So, what else could it be?
It’s been while since you posted this video but I purchased an emerald in a setting closed around the emerald .. how can you tell the difference between a Colombian emerald and all others because some gemologists know right away. ..
How much is green emerald per CT ? my emerald gemstone ring is 7 CT and weight is 31.45 CT how much is this one should be ?
I wear my diamond ring without ever removing it. Can an emerald be worn the same? Would a synthetic be better than a natural for for this kind of wearing?
Please talk about my most favorite stone,padaporga
My mother has white gold ring with 7carat emerald with also diamonds on it. Just want to know how much it worth?
what is thinking about panjesher makni mine emerald and its value becouse in all vedio explnation you didnt mention afganistan emeralid and its value and colour . and some time we find good colour and clearty from sawat pakistan
You forgot to mention Emeralds from Panjsher, Afghanistan and Swat, Pakistan, they have most beautiful green color.
No they don't. The best emeralds are from Zambia and Colombia .
Salam,
I want to work in the field of Gems & Stones. I may have swat emarald, Ruby, Topaz, Tourmaline and some others in our country.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Hi I own an one but am an Scorpio but I feel connected to it. . ... What is your opinion ... So you know if I can wear it ?
Do you have any info about buying or selling emeralds?
gotta watch it first. if it proves invaluable then definitely subscribing and prolly gonna see what u have to say about the others,tanzanite,alexandrite, bixbite, petersite however u spell that, ruby saphire the usual garnets and so forth basically
As someone who likes to wear a lot of raw jewelry you should say or mention if they are water safe because I always wonder
Hello I have a raw emerald I’m having trouble with how much it’s worth the emerald is pretty big and dark
Whats your opinion on the newer yellow emeralds that were popular about 6 years ago i have a few and there so clear. Thanks
I would imagine a "yellow Emerald" would be Helidor, yellow Beryl.
I don't know your name but I'm brand new it's my 1st time watching you
Thank you for your beautiful videos.What can you say about Emeralds of Afghanistan? Some say that they are better than Colombian once.
How can you tell if a stone has been dyed, should you still be able to see the gradient? Clear/green u seen in small ring emeralds, on something as thick as a 14k squareish cut antique pendant or can the thickness of the stone interfere with the visability? Thank you ❤️
It really depends on the quality of the stone to begin with and the process used. Some are convincing, while others are obvious.
Hi i just wanna ask if i have like 1kg and above rough emeralds how much do i expect to get out of there cos these days the people dont wanna tell you the truth if you go to the market thanks
