Hey brother, just came accross your channel and you have confirmed everything I have been looking into for many years now. I'm in Australia and have a major corundum collection that looks identical to alot of the rough that you are displaying. Blown away
That's awesome ..Australia🙏💗💎💗💎 maybe where humanity started, and there's so much awesome geology down there ....sapphires and lots of gold too...but have you been finding tools made from it ?? Several others have contacted me I believe North Carolina, Maryland, and Georgia possibly I have heard from people finding corundum artifacts similar to these .. I believe there's a very beautiful type of green sapphire in Australia . .happing hunting!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is so educational and I finally feel connected to understanding. Maybe that sounds weird, but you make sense to me.
So I know many instructions say to hold the plate when you use this when your testing ....I've found that doing soo gives extremely inaccurate results on larger items...but after testing items I knew the hardness of I found that these cheap testers at least in my experience work better if you keep your hand off of the plate you can be near it just not on it...at least when my hands on it ...it tests everything as like a 9 by default....so I've seen comments that I'm holding it wrong...but by base testing known materials I figured out how to hold the tester to get accurate results....
Hi there! Im a new subscriber from South Africa 🇿🇦 (the other "Down-under"). My daughter and i started rock hounding a while ago and have found many rocks like the one with the light blue sapphire. I also have a stone (i call it my potato) like the one in your ruby box left top which i have tumbled and sanded but way too hard. We have iron in our region and plenty quartz, vanadium mine not too far and coal mines. You are welcome to let me know which beauts could hide in my region? I need to invest in a Drimel and a Mohs tester. By trying to sand some of our stones (sandpaper from 220 -2000) i have given up on some of them as its just too hard 😂! Thanks for the vid i willcheck out some more ❤
Diamond tips and a Dremel I suggest Walmart for the Dremel Ive bought 2 plug in rotary tools for under 29.00 each the diamond tips I buy in temu lol 😂😂 most of them are real ...the other things that work fret is the diamond files also on temu they come in 3 different colors three different grades there coated ina diamond hardness material they are sold as knife sharpeners but on the aluminum oxide and even super hard garnets these work great...if you have raras of metamorphic geological activity you can find gems lots of garnets sapphires need aluminum rich ore and the right conditions they do form around coal deposits you can find all kinds of cool stuff near cool deposits often many fossils.
@@happylostsouls3327 thank you!!!! Yes here in SA we dont have Walmart and Target stores hahaha! But have similar major hardware stores. Thank you for all the info!
I have approximately 10 finds out of all of these that were in situte.. there are several old portions of these ancient creeks that have been diverted or there course has changed over time leaving dried out ancient Creek beds behind..you can see the entire bank cut down to bedrock... there is a very clear line of burning a couple inches thick at most this layer...infact many of my artifacts have signs of burning on them including the corundum....above the burn layer there seems to be a layer about twice as thick...that's absent of any human activity....this is just an observation...the artifacts I found in place...sticking out of these banks...I carefully removed material around the top of the find and then carefully lifted then bagged up the soil directly under it...for future dating purposes..who knows I find styles of tools that go back probably 100 thousand years but apparently there was no one here to make them...clearly needs a deeper look lol...
Hello, I'm from California and I have a lot of artifacts, fossils and gemstones in my collection plus I know where to get a lot more but I need help and need someone who is knowledgeable like yourself to start profiting off this. Not for myself, we are trying to get funds to help heal our planet from all the damage we have done and also to plant more trees and gardens. Please let me know if you are willing to talk about this. Thanks! Great videos btw
Hey brother I am trying to find the true value of rough diamonds,and sapphires I have a collection I'm looking to sell but can't get any answers except they are not valuable,and they are not what I ever say they are ,the situation is sad really . But can you help me I'n valuing my collection?
I'm looking into that myself so as I find answers I will be sure to share it's really hard when there rough and in raw form to find appraises I've been running into same issue
I'd be cool with 100 per carat is that shooting to high you think? Gemstones whether it be semi,or precious really isn't my specialty, I collect and study meteorites,since I was 5 years old I'm 43 now. Space rocks I can speak on,but these gemstones would only make me look stupid because I know nothing about the market . I actually acquired this collection in a barter that a guy traded me 10,000 carats of rough rubies ,sapphires ,and diamonds,some topaz to. I've had them set aside for 15 years or so .

Sand paper at the end for polishing but the sand paper won't do a thing lol to cut
