    Fancy sapphire are very beautiful and affordable ,I think is important that are natural gem even if we find second quality, ( gem with inclusions or not having intens colours, or being milky how they say) I m a person who wear and admire gemstones, e even if I can't afford hight quality, important is to wear something natural 🤗😇.I appreciate a lot people who work so hard in this mines

    I have made many Silver rings set with Ceylon moonstones. In Ontario, Canada, I have found clear feldspar that I have polished into cabachons. They have the same chatoyancy as Ceylon moonstones, but without any color.

    Me & my SO live near the Rockies & last year whilst exploring & pickin amongst a rivers flow I found a beautiful Moonstone however at the time I didn’t realize what I had, just another unique white stone that I usually gravitate toward, nothin particularly stunning but it had obviously stuck out 2 me 4 1 reason or another & several months later my SO bought his 1st ever tumblr & eagerly went through some of our stone collections & happened 2 pick it out 4 1 of the 1st batches 2 tumble. B4 he polished this batch we took a look 2 C the unpolished results & were stunned by it’s beauty, it paled the other “rocks” as it seemed 2 glow & since then I haven’t allowed it 2 B polished cuz I don’t C anything could improve upon it’s perfection, truly glorious, I’m lucky it chose us & wish we had logged that batches location so we could go back

    I enjoy every Patrick's documentary about gemstones. I wonder when the trips that he made to each of the countries took place. Was it at approximately the same time when the video was uploaded on youtube, or was it much earlier. Not easy to say.

    I met my future wife In Malaysia back in 1969. I was then in the British army and before I returned to the UK for my discharge I bought my then-girlfriend a Moonstone set. A full suite. necklace earrings and broach. She still has this set today The stones are perfect and a beautiful translucent blue, the settings have become tarnished and I often wonder if the stones themselves could be fakes.

    Excellent documentary!
    A very professional video and complete production.
    Please, mr. Voillot, the only thing that is missing is that you use your knowledge to talk to us about the microscopic inclusions.
    I am sure that good businessmen like you would be happy by teaching people how to distinguish between the real and the fake stones.
    The good business practices protect decent dealers like you and puts the clients away from the bad ones.
    Think about it, I beg you.
    Giving knowledge to your clients and admirers would make the work even easier to you and would help all honest dealers.
    It is about time for all us to join forces against scammers and impose the fair trade, according to gemological standards.
    The analysis and the study of microscopic gemological inclusions may aid all of us and protect the gem trade from those that do not have the same moral values that we already have.
    Thank you.
