She gives such an amazing explanation. JTV, Hate off to you guys, you people always posting a worthy videos. Time worth watching. Thank you so much guys.
🌈 Thank you for this video. It explained the spectroscope much better than I received in my GIA lab class. The part about the dust was exceptionally helpful as I don’t recall them saying anything about that.
Thank you Clair for the superb information!!! I enjoyed my optical mineralogy classes!!! Thank you Natalie & staff for an excellent video!!! 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💎💗💛💚💙💜💟🌈🙋
Excellent presentation! Which is/are the two book references that show the different spectra and the Quick Flyer, or the like! Thanks again for an excellent presentation
I find it very interesting on this tool and how does it works.🔬🤔 Learned how this help gems with changing color.🌈💎 Good video and thank you for teaching us.🌈🙂🤗
Thank you so much for this. Except for JTV, I never find a good source of advice or guidance on the internet. You guys truly help guide me into this great science. Thanks for motivating me to learn and discover more. 🌈❤

The definition of Absorption Spectra/ Spectrum can be further simplified & kindly keep both eyes open while working with the Gemological Instruments. 💎🔬🌈
Could i email a picture of my latest jtv oldstock parcel to ask what i probably have ? I know what a couple are and a few maybe...thankyou for posting this video. I am getting a dychroscope and spectroscope soon and chelsee filter asap.
3:18 no longer correct... the light source needs to be full spectrum most modern flashlights are leds they make a fake "white" light thats really three narrow bands of color that still activate the cones and rods in our eyes. Leds are missing most of the visible spectrum and if that spectrum falls on something you are looking for it makes a fake positive . Old incandescent flashlights dont have this issue
So if this method can't tell you if the gemstone is natural or synthetic what is the purpose of using any of these instruments!?! I mean did anyone else catch This this is not going to tell you if the gym is real or fake so why then I want to know why I really do...!?
Synthetic is not "fake" gem, synthetic is lab made, but chemically identical to the natural mined gem, meaning they have the same chemical composition and properties, they are not fake gems, just made in a lab instead of mined. Fakes are simulants, and usually are not at all chemically similar to the real gem they are imitating, nor do they have the same proporties, can often be made of glass or other crystals unrelated to the gem it is imitating. So a synthetic corundum, is identical to natural corundum and the spectroscope will confirm this, whereas let's say a diamond and a cubic zirconia will not look the same under a spectroscope because they are not the same material.
Thank you very much, Claire! You made it easy to understand a complicated procedure.
She gives such an amazing explanation. JTV, Hate off to you guys, you people always posting a worthy videos. Time worth watching. Thank you so much guys.
I love how excited she got seeing the orange line on the ruby 😆 This is pretty cool!
🌈 Thank you Clair ! You are a great teacher. I feel I now understand the principles and use of the spectroscope much better than before. Thank again.
Excellent tutorial, thank you.! Can you let us know what book you were using for reference in the video?
Thank you, excellent explanation. Just ordered a spectroscope so will be ready to try it when it arrives. 🌈
Thank you Claire! Very informative.
Hi! This is a great video. Can yiu tell me about the handheld light source you are using in the video? As a student, I think it would be perfect!!
Great video. Nice tip with the setting the stone and capture all the light. Thank you.
I love, love, LOVE material identification methods and this video was a whole lot of fun to watch. Thanks, Claire!🌈
Thank you. So glad you mentioned theSisk books. They are awesome.
🌈 Thank you for this video. It explained the spectroscope much better than I received in my GIA lab class. The part about the dust was exceptionally helpful as I don’t recall them saying anything about that.
Love this video!! sharing your knowledge and time with us. Would love to see more of her. 🌈
Great! We're smarter now, that moves us to learn more to distinguish quality, price & values.
Thanks Gem Goddess!

A video on Grandidierite?
Thank you for the tips - great video
Thanks. Please do a video on how to do the basic examination through naked eye and magnifying lens. What features should we look for?
This is very infomative. Thank you Claire.
I would love to know more about how you identify man made/Lab grown gems to the real natural gems.
Oh yes more gemology tools please!
Please! I’m trying to get into the field !
I wonder if anyone can tell me where I can find the book @12:30 with all the spectrum graphs
Thank you, Claire for teaching me something new about how to test a gem stone. 💖😊🇨🇦🌈💖👏
Can you add the text that scrolls up at the start of the video to the description? Very helpful video! Thank you
🌈 Thanks for the detailed explanation of the spectroscope and also sticky tack is an awesome idea.
Thank you, Claire! ❤❤❤❤❤

I can’t find the handheld light source Claire used
Would greatly appreciate the model
Looks like the Zelco Long Reach Flexible Flashlight, no longer in production :(
This channel makes me so happy! :)
Thank you, very helpful presentation.
Very helpful, thank you

If you don't mind please tell the name of that book you were check rainbow colours ??
Awesome awesome sweet tools lots of knowledge wow absolutely cool thank you so much Claire
Very informative Thank so much.
where do you get the book with all of the spectrum in?
Thanks Claire. 🌈
Thank you
Thank you!!!!
Thank you Claire 🌈
Hi where I can get that book please ?
🌈 Thank you so much for the very informative and interesting talk. 🙋🏻♀️ I was wondering if you would speak about the diascope?
Thank you 🙏
Stay tuned for upcoming episodes on more gemological tools!
What tool do you use and where to buy it?
The refractometer Is important?
The definition of Absorption Spectra/ Spectrum can be further simplified & kindly keep both eyes open while working with the Gemological Instruments. 💎🔬🌈
Twaskyou for the information My dear.
Blessings
Where can I buy one
🌈 really good info she is a very good teacher
Why not just use the high power fiber-optic light source, I'm sure it has an infra-red absorber so it won't heat the stones?
thank you 😄

What reference book is Claire using
Whic is best book to refer for prism spectroscopy?
I love some more gems name and meanings.
Thanks Claire!! 🌈🌈
Awesome! Always good to know more about the sleuthing tools you guys and gals use! Thanks so much Claire, excellent presentation! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
What book would you reccomend for reference?
🌈Thanks for the awesome video. I kind of wonder what the other two gems were. Were they both just synthetics?
One was red glass, and the other was garnet!
Thank you very informative

Excellent observation, Edd. Claire details the need for full spectrum lighting and the pitfalls of using LED lighting starting at 6:00.
Does anyone know what large book she is using?
Thank you so much!! 🌈💎
I swear. Who be disliking these vids. Do ppl get paid to dislike videos???
Glass ‘gem’ sellers staying mad 👺👺
🌈thank you.
🌈 Thanks, excellent lesson!
Beautiful people!

That was so helpful
🍭🌈🌈🍭 hi, very nice review... where can i get your reference spectra book...plz
tank you
💟🌈🙋 A great and thorough explanation.Thank You!
🌈Thanks 👍🏻
Claire has such a soothing voice! She should be featured again soon!
🌈🌈🌈 this was great. I am learning so much :)
🌈🌈🌈 thank you very helpful
Nice video, I learned a lot. 🌈🌈🌈
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!!
👍
Thaaaaaank you Miss Claaaaire! lol
So if this method can't tell you if the gemstone is natural or synthetic what is the purpose of using any of these instruments!?!
I mean did anyone else catch
This this is not going to tell you if the gym is real or fake so why then I want to know why I really do...!?
Synthetic is not "fake" gem, synthetic is lab made, but chemically identical to the natural mined gem, meaning they have the same chemical composition and properties, they are not fake gems, just made in a lab instead of mined.
Fakes are simulants, and usually are not at all chemically similar to the real gem they are imitating, nor do they have the same proporties, can often be made of glass or other crystals unrelated to the gem it is imitating.
So a synthetic corundum, is identical to natural corundum and the spectroscope will confirm this, whereas let's say a diamond and a cubic zirconia will not look the same under a spectroscope because they are not the same material.
