Hi Paul, I'm a 20 yr old college student who's recently got into gemstones. Thank you so much for covering the trivia and history of this gemstone. I saw it in my local jewelery store today and fell in love with it. Its an emerald cut that is around 40% amethyst and 60% citrine. Went home and found your channel while looking for its characteristics. I have also subscribed to your channel, I will now look into your videos on emeralds and sapphires (I have a necklace and ring made from them)
Thank you, Paul. This is once again very valuable information about the bicolored stones. Also, I will also say BOTH of your gemstone books, i.e. Colored Gemstones and Opals, are very well researched and a wealth of knowledge.
My sister has a necklace , boy when the light hits that it is amazing ! , awesome show again ! Question , may be combined with the petrified wood video ,,,, fossils , is it a collector’s must have , in there collection , who is a good fossil gem 💎 place to shop from , it would be nice if you had links to say hey Tom you can click here and look at gems for sale here 😉 , your channel is very helpful for collectors get ready Paul your becoming popular 😉 , keep up the great work !
Ametrine is very special to me as amethyst is my husband's birthstone and citrine (or topaz depending on how old you are), is mine. My husband gave me an ametrine ring 30 years ago as a valentines gift. Thank you for doing an episode on it. I know this a late post, but I just wanted you to know how much this info is appreciated.
Great lesson Paul awesome stuff ⛏️😎👌 just an idea Paul been looking for some good documentary's and videos on Chrysoprase be awesome if you could do a lesson on Chrysoprase.
I am a huge fan of Australian Chrysoprase. It really jumped up in price about 3 years ago or so. Will definitely address that stone in a future lesson!
Hay Paul I'm interested in one off your book coloured gemstones I would like link to buy. And is it possible to have shipped to Australia if I pay for the Shipping?.
If you are looking for the link for the ebook, I can provide that for you on apple books: books.apple.com/us/book/colored-gemstones/id592121038?fbclid=IwAR2vWAWxB5-XHOzGgxrZym0NCr0XSQaBp2bs9Z_4esZilZzKWndvYasLWtg That is definitely the most affordable if you want that format. That is $9.99 us dollars. If you want the physical coffee table book, it is on sale for $17 USD but I will have to check what shipping would be. Send me your Aussie Address and I will let you know what shipping costs. I have been to your country a few times visiting the opal mines in Coober Pedy, Lambina Station, and Mintabie. Also loved our time in Sydney, Queensland, and Alice Springs!
I'm 40 and still have no clue on this.....I look at pearls at Tiffanys and I look at pearls at Costcos. Very different prices. I would love to understand why one is so much more money (besides the name brand). I want knowledge to purchase a pair of pearl earrings that are of very high quality and should hold value like my diamonds do. Can you please do a video on this? I've asked other people and they say they have idea either. I remember my grandmother had a pearl necklace that she cherished and they look a bit yellow in color. I need help :)
Hi Heather, that is an excellent question! I will certainly give a lesson on pearls in the future (and I will read your question on the Q&A segment on my next video). The short version? First, nothing at Tiffany's is going to be cheap! That said, there are natural saltwater pearls (Tahitians, South Sea Golden Pearls) and others that command a big price tag. Then there are freshwater cultured pearls. Much more affordable. There are farms (on the water) who insert a bit of tissue into a mollusk (most of that tissue is from mollusks from the Mississippi river, by the way). Some of those pearls that are colored are usually dyed. Not a problem as long as any treatment is disclosed to you. I will cover more ground.....or sea...when I do a full lesson on the channel.
Awesome lesson! Are these Ametrine 5 to 10cm towers mostly heat treated or totally natural? Looking at the towers you tend to think it is a natural cut off real crystal but is this true?
as an Aquarius Sun and in 11th house, Aquarius Moon in X MC (Capricorn Midheaven), Aquarius Pallas. Aries Rising/Ascendant. This is myself reflect in a Gemstone; Purple Amethyst as being sober and as said combination of Red+Blue (Positive+Negative, Black+White, Yin+Yang) and Golden Citrine as for Abundance, Sun.
I would like to apologize for the confusion regarding my last question on gold quartz I was referring specifically to the gemstone. that looks like it has small lines of gold actually trapped in the stone . I was wanting more information on this Stone called gold rutilated quartz crystal. maybe a lesson on it specifically. Thank you for all you do . And sorry about the confusion.
No worries. I figured it was either the gold in quartz or the rutillated quartz. Love the rutillated quartz. Those golden needles are called Rutile, which is where titanium comes from (it is titanium oxide). It is a spectacular and relatively affordable gemstone. Incidentally, if you see the quartz with the black needles, that is called "Tourmalinated Quartz". That is black tourmaline inside the quartz.
@@pauldeasygemstones thank you for the info sometimes it can be hard to workout the actual facts of the Stone versus rumors or hearing it from people who think they know about that gemstone and how it's formed

@@karenunzicker4594 Yes, I have about 2 dozen left. $17 with free shipping in the USA. Payment can be paid by Paypal, Venmo, or personal check. Let me know which you prefer and I will send info you need.
Great questions, Salah! I will use your question on a future lesson. Technically they are not the same thing. All impregnated turquoise is stabilized, but not all stabilized turquoise is impregnated. The most common method of stabilizing turquoise is to impregnate it with a colorless resin. That said, there is another method of stabilization called "the Zachary Method" that stabilizes some high grade turquoise using proprietary method that does not use any resins or impregnation.
Hi Lauro, Glad you enjoyed the lessons. There are a couple of ways to get the gem book. One was is an electronic book.

I am crushed! Just kidding, Judy. While my birthstone is the amethyst, it is not by favorite either. I love lots of gemstones, but if I was forced to pick favorites, it would be Black Opal as number 1 and Turquoise as number 2.

Here in Indonesia there's many quartz mixed naturally with gold
How can you tell if it's natural or treated?

Is stabilized and impregnated turquoise the same?
Or is there any difference?
