    I would love to see an episode all about dentritic stones, like dendritic quartz, opal, agate, jasper, calcite and even fluorite!

    I've been following this channel for a long time and I don't believe you guys made a gem/mineral family tree video! I would love a visual example of the groups and species, love your videos!

    From now on Britney gets to bring her opal with her in all future videos (if she wants to)

    The color range of opal from blue to red is dependent on the diameter of the spheres. 1,500A is blue and 3,500A is red. You can fit about 20,000 spheres inline and it would be the length of the period at the end of a sentence.
    I was speaking to a scientist who studied under someone who wrote a paper on how opal was formed. He suggest that opal filled the cavity of slime mold.
    Also a lot of people think Australian opal was created millions of years ago, some of it was. But there is evidence that some of it was probably formed around 12,000 years ago.
    The light body colored piece of opal looks to me like it could be Andamooka opal?
    Great show, Tks!

    how much do yall know about biogenic opal? it gets identified wrong pretty much 99% of the time.
    and by my experience cutting a six ray star gemstone is easier then biogenic opal

    Fluorite was definitely the first mineral that made me fall in love with collecting! So many amazing colors they can be.

    Trashcan mineral makes me laugh every time. Tourmaline is the most relatable gemstone.
    That Chalcopyrite/Calcite specimen is so fantastical, it looks handmade. So spectacular.

  • @elisabethe8055
    @elisabethe8055 Год назад +3

    All kinds of Beryl i would love to see next! It is fascinating that a mineral can create so many different gemstones, some more valuable than others, and other more pretty than valuable. This episode was a good one, love the sparkle of the calcite, and tourmaline is always pretty. They all were. Thank you for sharing!

  • @largent45
    @largent45 Год назад +2

    That was certainly a colorful and shiny episode and contained so many of my favorite things! It was awesome! And you mentioned the ammolite being prevalent in Alberta, Canada, but ammonites and baculites with ammolite are also found in the US, in Montana! Along the Yellowstone river! Ammolite is so beautiful and just amazing in its colors! Thank you for sharing!

    That was so interesting and loving to watch as always! There is something I would love to see more because I've watched the other videos about it but it's about Tsavorite. It's gorgeous, it's resistant, it's rare but so unknown! It's only beginning to be known in jewelry while it's more resistant and clear than emerald we see everywhere. So yeah if you do have more content about Tsavorite I would absolutely love that 💚

    I'd have to say Rob and Brittany are the real gems of this episode. They just keep getting more polished and refined as their experience grows.

    Now correct me if wrong here but isn’t Australia the biggest deposit found of the full spectrum of color old growth opals.

    • @gems
      @gems  11 месяцев назад

      Yes, most precious opal comes from Australia.

    Ammonite is by far my favorite gemstone! And I didn't know that about the volcanic event that helped creating it. Fascinating.

  • @sueburn536
    @sueburn536 Год назад

    Can you please do a video on Astrophyllite, Arfvedsonite and Anthophyllite. I have several specimens that were sold to me as Astrophyllite, but then thought (based on several RUclips videos and hundreds of Google Image examples) that what I had was Arfvedsonite. However, I have since learned about Athophyllite, and I am about 95% sure that this is what I have. I am also sure that the vast majority of what is sold as either Astrophyllite or Arfvedsonite is actually Anthophyllite. It would be good to get a reputable source for a video showing the differences, as sharing the Minedat and Epigem info pages is a bit hard for some of my customers to follow.

    I have a block of this blackish grey, very spiky crystal formation with tons of tiny reflective surfaces which have a rainbow metallic sheen. It's quite brittle and shards off easily. There's no 'host' rock that I can tell. I'd love some educated guesses, anyone? Tia.

  • @mimichy4138

    I first learned about other stones beside the big three Emerald Ruby and sapphire from you website. I kinda grow up watching JTV. Keep up with the awesome videos guys.

    Hi! I love gemstones, I have a question about purchasing a Rubellite necklace. It is a bit more money than what I wanted to spend but do gemstones lose or hold their value?

    I've heard that minerals will actually replace the cells of, (say a fossil or petrified tree)? Is this true or has the wood just expanded to have absorbed the mineral or silicate? Great show, 🫶🙃

    • @gems
      @gems  Год назад +1

      It is true! One example, silicification, is a process where organic matter becomes saturated with silica, often from volcanic material. The cell walls of the specimen are progressively dissolved and silica is deposited into the empty spaces. In wood samples, cellulose and lignin are degraded and replaced with silica, transforming the specimen to stone as water is lost​.

  • @annebarlow7747
    @annebarlow7747 Год назад

    What makes the silica form into spheres?

    Thank you for introduceing Goethite, I often find this rainbow banding in iron stone geodes and didn't know what it was. It would be interesting to find out how it's formed
    Thankyou again for a fantastic show
