- The Hoquiam Ruby story is almost lost to history, and may not be as complete as we thought. Join me as we learn about the history of America's first synthetic ruby venture, and the science of how rubies are made.

This is nothing short of incredible! The research, storytelling and visuals are perfect.
Thanks for saying that! I'm glad people are finding this as interesting as I do.
More to come in this arena; I hope. Excellent work Patrick, thank you.
Dr. Donohue, what a wonderful and well-researched bit of history, But it also left me scratching my head as to why there wasn't more investigation and science being acquired on the indexing of 'said' subject matter, (as was mentioned by Dr. Akhaven). Bravo Patrick, this presentation was very well thought out and delivered!
My wild speculation is that the synthetics market didn't exist like it does today, so there weren't people who wanted to spend money to research "curiosities" like these.
This is an absolutely superb documentary on the synthetic rubies. The research, voice overs, and interview is top notch (it was so cool to see Arya in your video!). Thanks for creating this resource, and hopefully many more, to share with the community. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
AS always, a great documentary.
Excellent, thank you!
What a great video and very interesting topic. It is fascinating to see where the synthetic gemstone markets will evolve in the future.
Amazing, Patrick! I appreciate how much research went into this, and how you make the story so understandable and entertaining. Thank you!❤
My pleasure! These are involved, but fun to make overall.
Great work. Thank you.
Exceptionally well researched and presented material with a high level of scientific rigor.
Being very interested in fluorescents though, I'm very curious about that page in the 1973 magazine on "Fluorescent Collection At Adamas Museum". There appears to be exactly two other references to the existence of this place on the internet and no more. Both in postcard form. Maybe it was just in some dude's house? Is that an article or an advertisement?
"Adamas is a Lapidary Shop, Adamas is a Mineral Shop, and Adamas is a Museum - all dedicated to the enjoyment of the hobbyist." From the ad, it was located at 8391 Market St in Youngstown, Ohio called "Adamas Lapidary & Gem Shop"
@@DonohueLabs Only thing left seems to be the name of the strip mall left in its place. Too bad! Thanks for the info!
So that's how they make laser rods these days.
Most laser rods that I've seen are made via Czochralski method, which is more like pulling crystals up out of melt rather than pouring melt on a seed plate. But it's a similar principle.
