    The clear stone in the ruby necklace you bought yourself could be spinel, topaz, or a white sapphire. Did you know that years ago spinels were so commonly used in fake jewelry, that many people, including my sister and I grew up believing they were fakes! Now they have come i to their own and are going up in price.

    The closer the needle is to the end of the corresponding black line means its QUALITY STONES!! Each line is each type of gems threshold so that means lesser quality gems should read like half way or more towards the left and QUALITY STONES MAX OUT!!

    I just received one of these for Christmas. I calibrated mine and did do some testing. Pleasantly surprised that some tested for being real stones.
    My question is, when testing, do you just touch the needle to the stone or do you actually have to press it all the way down just like you have to when you calibrate? I did it both ways. With diamonds, it went all the way up, regardless. I could just touch it with the needle and it registered. Just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. Thanks

    Even though the tester was in the Topaz, Sapphire range, doesn’t mean it’s Topaz. There are a lot of jewelers that use White Sapphires. My concern is when it overlaps like that. Then there are other tests that must be performed to make sure they are natural, if they have been treated, or if they are specific stones.

    Ive tested hundreds of stones with one of the $10 diamond testers and compiled a list of what number they go up to on the scale with it set at 1, 1 being glass and 10 being diamond, my list does correspond to the scale on that tester, saph and ruby 8 to 9 for example. The test isnt perfect as with your device as it wont differentiate a lab grown stone and a genuine, its great to see if something is glass though, there is many more glass stones on the market then there is lab grown.

    12:05 is probably green chrysoprase, otherwise it wouldve shot-up to near nephrite and jadeite considering both are similarly conductive.

    • @cscjb
      @cscjb 5 років тому

      before identifying something immediately as the most "obvious" looking because it's luxurious or more expensive because it's "EMERALD OR JADE" because it's green, do search up color-names before the name of whatever the indicator is pointing to the closest, considering gems such as nephrite and jadeite are completely different varieties of minerals, as well as ruby and sapphire are different varieties of corundum, thermal and electrical conductivity of stones and the elements that make up the content of the stones is what's making the indicator on your device shoot up all the way to diamond when it's diamond and the others when it's around the others.
      If it's not shooting up to jadeite or nephrite, it's not Jade. The same reason the device isn't shooting up as quickly when it goes to glass.
      If you use a handheld device like one of those horrendously made but surprisingly accurate diamond selector devices that take 9v batteries, you'll even see how Jadeite and Nephrite will shoot up unbelievably quickly to high readings on the device. Such as right about where the ending of the black column that indicates nephrite, joins with the one that does with jadeite.

    From what I have read, these testers are unable to determine the difference between many synthetic and genuine colored stones because they have very similar conductivity. On the other hand, it is good for making sure if the stone is glass. But that then brings me to the question - how effective is this type of tester when the natural gemstone has been glass filled?
