Which Gemstones will glow under UV Light?

- Ruby, Sapphire, White Spinel, Amber, Peridot, Rhodolite Garnet, small diamonds.
It's a selection of jewelry found metal detecting. Some will glow when a UV light is shined on them. Some of them won't. Which do you think will glow? See which glow in the second half of the video when I switch to the UV light.

Ruby - Bright red glow. The glow of the big solitaire ruby is quite impressive.
Sapphire - Weak red glow, hard to see in the video
Colourless Spinel - no glow
Amber - Weak yellow glow
Peridot - no glow
Rhodolite Garnet - no glow, but a few of the diamonds around it glow
And no glow from the small diamonds in their own ring.

You should it put a description on each ring so people like me learn thanks
Yes, it's a pretty weak video, I'm planning on doing more videos but it's based on a hobby where my time is pretty limited. Thanks for watching.
@@KenLord yes is a good video just add a hand written note it will have better views because more people will understand
The first ring is a Spinel and the other ring has 3 small natural rubies.
It's hard to say because there are no other test results to aid in ID, but it could be that the last two are coloured by Chromium due to the bright red fluorescence, so it could be either red spinel or ruby. Do you have any readings from the refractometer? If so, is it one shadow edge or two? (please note, I said "could" earlier because red fluorescence is seen in other gems which may not contain chromium BUT bright red fluorescence is typical of gem materials coloured by chromium)
Ruby😊
Good idea yeah the 2 that glow are rubies but the other looked like onyx and sapphire
My guess: The 3 stone ring is tanzanite they glow too. The brightest is ruby. Amber should be glow green color, and some of natural diamonds glow too.
yup, the amber glows a little bit, and a few diamonds. The 3 stone ring is definitely ruby. I should remake this video, I've got a better light and more rings.
Ruby??
woah
What color should diamonds light up? What’s this video showing??
Diamonds can show many different colors. Mostly blue, but can also show a yellow, pink, orange, green, white, and rarely they'll fluoresce red.... It just depends on what kind of minerals are in the inclusions of that diamond.
But blue is the most common color.
And some diamonds don't show any fluorescence at all. Now a day people believe fluorescence is a bad quality for a diamond to have 🤷🏼♀️
You should Google it though, man. It's interesting stuff 🥰
Diamonds with high amounts of flaws/inclusions glow. Flawless diamonds don't glow at all.
The ones that shines are rubies
What stone was glowing?
Ruby
The rubies glow
rubies were glowing bright red. A sapphire (or maybe blue spinel) was glowing weakly red. Amber had a weak yellow glow. And some of the diamonds.
Spinel
So is that ruby far right and garnet second from far right?
On the right its a ruby earring and a ring with 3 small rubys
Alexandrite
There's no alexandrite in the rings
The rubies glow also
U have one ruby and one diamond
So which are real and which are fake ones?
they're all real, but they aren't all that precious. names listed in the video description.
Do you still respond to comments
Hi what's your question?
@@KenLord do you cut your own gems and set them or do you just give advice on how to tell if ones real
@@tannersever7723 All of these were found with my hobby of metal detecting. I don't make them. Part of the hobby is figuring out what you've actually found.
Is it a purple sapphire?
I'm pretty sure it's a synthetic ruby :)
@@KenLord im quite confius from your rply with others, u said the 1st and sec that glowing were legit ruby, then in this comment u answer said synthetic ruby??
@z8k-45 natural and synthetic ruby are the same mineral (gem quality corundum), made of the same chemicals in the same crystal structure. They both glow bright red in a UV light.
Sappire also should react with uv light I believe yours is not sapphire 😂
The blue stone does fluoresce, red like the rubies but not as bright as the rubies, it just doesn't show up well in the video. I don't know for certain if it's a sapphire, it could be spinel. All of these are metal detecting finds.
Just learned we shouldn't to this ot can ruin the stone
Yup, any stone where you're warned not to expose it a lot to the sun could be affected. At nail salons they recommend removing jewelry before UV curing of nail stuff. But I'm really not concerned about this brief exposure, and these are metal detecting finds, not sentimental personal stuff.
It doesn’t even say what they are.
it does ... if you look in the video description
Not all natural gemstones will shine under uv light
