Please do not do this unless it is YOUR jewelry!! This is a "destructive" test. Many the time a customer has come into my store and tried this on MY stock! Mostly to show off. Same with pearls. Please don't rub my pearls on your teeth! Difficult for me to clean and sanitize for the next customer. Shop at a reputable store and you don't have to worry.
If someone did that I'd make them pay for it on the spot.
Heated. 5.56 CT’s I have how much you can give me?
Scratch test should be your absolute last resort as a test because it damages the stone.
You should resort to non destructive tests like taking a refractive index, looking for inclusions, specific gravity test, optic figure, fluorescence, etc
exactly. imagine doing that in front of the seller, not going to happen in reality

Cor Gems. I just bought a single stone sapphire through the mail. It is yellow but it sparkles on both sides but kind of clear in the middle. It's really pretty but doesn't look like it did on the site where I ordered it.(From China)
When I get my phone straightened out I was hopeing maybe there would be away to send you a picture or pictures of it & maybe you might be able to figure out what stone it might really be.
Just wondering. I thank you for any help & your time.
GhostCity Shelton Hi Shelton, unfortunately, it's impossible to tell from just pictures or videos, so I would be doing you a disservice by giving you the false hope of a conclusive answer.
I recommend taking it to a reputable jeweler for them to look at or sending it to a laboratory for testing. The steps in this video are a good starting point.
my stones past your 3 test , so you think they are real ? in the laboratory they want 150$ only 1 one stone test omg

Nice channel. Can you name the microscope in the little one in your hand?
i realize it is pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream new series online?
Very informative, thanks for the video 😊
Good information, keep posting informational videos like this. Thanks
Thank you! Simple and informative video!
Excellent video, thank you for helping us all
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
GREAT TEACHING AND VERY HELPFUL.
Thanks! Very refreshing to find someone trying to help online buyers when most are trying to take advantage or even flat out steal from the uninformed.
Yes, I agree. I have a diamond ring found flattened and traffic worn in a south bound highway lane. The ring itself had been hit by tires numerous times, the band's setting crown somehow remained vertical, and the stone did not break. The stone was taken to a jeweler. His assistant walked it to the back to show him. Returning immediately with the declaration "I sorry, it is a synthetic, but would you like to sell it for $20.00? I still have it. If it is a synthetic, it is one like I've never encountered before? Traffic, the tires of transportation, at high speed, and more than most industrially under load mind you would have hammered the stone to dust 'if' it was a synthetic? But survived being run over countless times.
Just wondering, why didn’t you scratch a piece of glass, but had to scratch up your perfectly good watch?
Tsetsi idk who cares
Ikr-
RIP watch
Because the glass of watch is saffire too. Normal glass may be easily scratched with fake gems.
the watch made of crystal
Glass is 5.5, quartz is 7, sapphire or sapphire glass (watch face) is 9.
Thanks for the information, free advice is always welcome.

Great vid. I never knew about the scratch test. Guess you learn something new everyday😃👍
You can get sapphire screen protector
HE IS TRYING TO THINK THAT SHE IS NOT REAL DUDES. YOU GUYS ARE WERIED
Thank you for the info. 💖
Thanks! Very informative.
Sapphires come in many varieties of blue. The light blue sapphire I have catches the light and sparkles like no tomorrow. It certainly gets attention because of that but many folk aren't aware that sapphires can be light blue. One of the mist important thing with any gem is to keep it clean! Polish it every day, a soft toothbrush with ammonia if they're really dirty - but keep them shiny and enjoy that sparkle!
I love Montana sapphires
You have incredibly neat handwriting
I'm worse than a doctor; credit goes to my assistant!
Can you do a video about the stones you have certification on? Cost and when to know it's worth sending in a stone for certification.
He that breaks a thing / to find out what it is / has left the path of wisdom
Hi can anyone tell me what a blue /teal faceted oval sapphire good color should cost me. I'm in the US .i want a deep blue not dark .maybe darker than cornflower blue.Just don't like the deep prices.Help anyone where is the best place to get a close to 3 ct.great looking sapphire prefer unheated..I'll take a quality sapphire. Should I change colors without sacrificing size..I like natural no lab created.just me being picky I'm wearing it.My preference
Such utter nonsense. He who does not break things to understand what they are has nothing more than a surface understanding of that which they wish to know more about.
Thank you for the knowledge
and video.
Liked and subbed 🤓
Thanks to educate dear
Great man... Very helpful. Thanks from India 🇮🇳
yeah so which stones are lab, which are natural, which are other dyed material.. which are heat-treated..... I thought that is why we were watching this......
Bro you are so informative 👏👏👏
I'm from Sri Lanka and me and my friends working on blue sapphire project and we want to sell cut on polished finalised gem stone for genuine buyers.at the moment we just sell gem stones to sri lankan market only.we want to find long term genuine partners for our businesses. Prices are completely depend on color clarity cartage cut, polish and inclusions. If you are interest pls let me know by msg
Can you do a video on Star Sapphires..
Quality won't be a problem!
So what are the aesthetic differences between a sapphire and a piece of faceted blue glass? From a consumer perspective of course.
FYI For breath test make sure your stone is really clean! Any oils from touching the stone can cause the fog to disappear much slower than if the stone is clean of all oils and grime! 💎
uh k
@@imeldadavin3478
He's telling the truth. One purpose if a cut gem is how it catches the light and sparkles! And talk about an attention grabber? That's the beauty of any gemstone but it won't happen if they're not clean. They should be polished every day.
I wish you could've gotten a little more in depth with your video, that said it gave me a MUCH better feeling should I ever have the wherewithal to buy a sapphire.
Hi I found some stones and want to know what kind of gem or stones they are and there value can you assist
www.gemrockauctions.com/auctions/multicolor-loupe-clean-gia-967-ct-multicolor-tanzanite-amazing-colors-1118361
are stupid or what, you never showed to the camera which stone you were testing with the scratch test, and at the end of the video you kept saying "this stone" and never pointed with the tweezer which one was genuine or fake you idiot.
How I can get a certificate for a ring with zafiro and 32 little diamonds ? Where I need to do.? Where I have to go.?
Do you suggest purchasing a non-heated Sapphire
How about looking at striations...is it curved on synthetic and strait in naturals or other way around.....curved grain or straight grained
What brands of old watches have the crystal face you can use for scratch test?
If you go into a pawn shop, you can find Swatch watches for $30-40. That being said, I found some on eBay for very cheap. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F302438741321
Thanks bro for important information
thank you mr. ali
Dude I loved your boxing matches
😂
I have a question: why do the blue sapphires in fine jewellery always look so dark? Aren't lighter blue sapphires available? I once saw a huge blue stone (not sure what it was) but it was midway between what I think of as dark sapphire blue (the blue of Princess Diana/Kate Middleton's engagement ring sapphire) and blue topaz, more of a swimming pool blue. It was absolutely gorgeous but why does this colour seem so rare?
Hi Gled, blue is a darker color that is closer to Black than lighter shades like yellow and green. A few sapphires do have both Rich color and brightness.
The electric blue of topaz is the result of irradiation treatment, while good quality Sapphire is untreated or treated with heat only.

Sounds like Ceylon. My personal favorite. If that's not it, try cornflower blue.
i have light saphire ring on my hand right now
@@InfiniteRealitys Tanzanites and Kyanite gemstones can be rarer less expensive and better looking than a light blue sapphire I just got some trillion cut Tanzanites they are the BOMB
@Pablo Escabor I have a blue sapphire GIA confirmed no sign of heating, but to me it looks blue green, so I think that's common although GIA says blue - unheated - no comments, the origin is the mine in NW Australia so its pretty Kimberly, usually I do my own checks I just wanted to check my supplier always a good idea
Very informative:)
Awesome video.
Can presence of air bubble shows that the blue sapphire is not real
Bring it to a Jeweler and have them look under a microscope in front on you. Most have a little screen for the customer to look at. They always look at it at the main counter. I always tip because I never get charged. Best wishes..
respect for the camera person
Is the natural sapphire company a good one to buy sapphire from
Hi, I have a 10karat blue Sapphire. Can u or anyone direct me to where I can get it sold ? I have the certification
Too bad I cant show you my stone of Zultanite. I got it from Turkey. I love Gemstones.
So what happened to the fire test?
I did breath test and fog just stay a lill bit longer so i think i am riped off
Make sure it's clean..GL
You forgot another accurate way to tell what it is. You can buy a gem testing machine. Such as the Gem-eye 1 (and other such specialty machines). Even a basic diamond tester machine will accurately tell you if the stone you have is a ruby/sapphire, quartz, or a piece of glass.
On eBay they sell yellow Sapphire certified by IGL GGL IGCL are they selling real Sapphire?
you shouldn't buy a gem from ebay, for such deals you need to meet them irl or something that you can check the stone and the certificate
hard to find natural orange sapphires i dont trust ebay lol so as well pictures are hard to go by any thoughts ??
thanks for sharing
Can somebody tell me what sapphire is this?
Like they said, shop at reputable stores like Cartier, Tiffany, Harry Winston, Graff, Peter Marco, Van Cleef and Arpels! You'll get the good jewels!
thanks. I am waiting for a sapphire just now, I will try the scratch test.
Great vid.
How to calculate the price of sapphire ?
What microscope should I buy and from where please?
Nice stones I have one white sapphire
Beautiful
Biggest load of misinformation I have ever heard .. “president and ceo” of BS enterprises... ! This guy is obviously not qualified to advise anyone about gemstones.
I agree. But the information he gave id correct. No bs in that.
You did not list refraction, which is quite reliable for separating corundum from other minerals. Refractometers are not extremely expensive.
buggsy5 You are correct! Refraction is an effective and easy method; however, refraction requires training to use, and I wanted tests the average person could do at home.
Is it possible that in Tanzanite have bubbles inside stone???Or it is fake?
Bring it to a Jeweler, have them look under a microscope in front on you. Most have a little screen for the customer to look at. I always tip because I've never been charged. If you want it certified, that's a different process. Best wishes...
What are you doing to that swatch !
why not check refractive index. fast and correct.
Who cut those gems?
How much the prize of saphire
Get 5K watch with sapphire glass and scratch it with few dollar Cristal what a good idea 👍
Does the scratch test damage the stone?
Not if it's real sapphire; sapphire has a hardness of 9. Only diamond and a few other substances are harder!
But you should be careful with software stones that can look like sapphire, i.e., tanzanite, kyanite, etc.
@@corgems3951 Please I have some Spinels stones and sapphire I I'll like to show you
Can you pls notify my stone pls,ill give you something once i sold ..
images of the gems are blurry, please use better "focus" we as gemologist approve of high quality definition to for our viewing pleasure!
Can you trust one of the those companies to certify what if they switch your stone
The big ones almost certainly won't like GIA, AGL, GRS, but be careful with small ones
@@corgems3951 Not necessarily true. Several investigations were launched into swapping issues with the big labs many times over the last 30 years. And many times swaps occurred during interception between the parcel carriers and the lab.
In reality, no you cant. You can hope they wont. But there is no 100% guarantee whatsoever.
Lets scratch my rolex glass, ups it works haha 😅
Thank you for your video! I was testing my new sapphire and there was no steam on it! Very cool.
Good video
Watch crystals come in plastic, glass and sapphire. If you buy a sapphire crystal off fleabay you will likely get glass. Good quality watches usually have sapphire, but there are exceptions Seiko often uses what they call Hardlex, which is a hardened glass, not a sapphire. They use those in some watches ta are kind of pricey, but a sapphire will scratch them.
Me looking at the video and think: humm, it’s shiny? It’s nice color? It’s made from solid material? So what should I care?
