It's Friday morning, get to watch new gemstones episode while eating breakfast... it's a great day😁😂
I LOVE THE GOSHENITE, AND THE DANBURITE.
Yals chemistry is just praiseworthy❤️ honestly, congrats on another great video, it’s crazy how much i learn from these. Thank you! This one was much more packed with content than I’d anticipated from the title too haha
Loved that you covered colorless! What first came to my mind was moissanite. (Page 234 of Sisk, volume 1) I love colorless bery, goshenite! Thanks.
Goshenite is absolutely gorgeous, in its raw form especially I think!
I never thought I'd be so fascinated by these clear gemstones; and learning so much about what makes each of these gemstones so different!
Rock crystal is my fav! I love to see old pieces of jewelry, reliquaries, vases and things that were made out of rock crystal before they were able to make clear glass. My all time Fav is the ImperiaI Crystal Fabergé Egg, The Standart Yach Egg!
Loved this episode! It was a great way to understand the raw differences between these stones. I would love to see these under a microscope as you describe their crystalline makeup as well. Might be a useful addition to the show
I`ll say : Brilliant , just brilliant show💯👍💯
Btw, Thank You so much for sharing. I appreciade it alot👌💎👌
Wonderful episode! It's amazing there are SO many clear / colorless gems that are decent diamond imitators. You guys are the best!
I prefer anything over diamonds The De Beers Group control most of the diamond market and are not always as transparent or clear in there working practices as these beautiful gems here.
Can you please make a video explaining the difference between CZ, White Sapphire, Morganite, and Moissanite and Diamond. All white for jewelry reference. and please use florescence (blue light flashlight) comparing them at some point. Would really like to hear what you guys have to say on the matter. Love your videos always !
Thank you
13:30 Fluorine and fluoride are named after fluorite, which in turn is named from 'fluere', the Latin word for flow, because it was used as flux in the smelting of iron and aluminum. Not the other way around.
Love you guys❕❕❕
💎 💎 💎 💎 💎
You guys are the best. I missed you both.
I always felt weird when I said that I love COLORLESS Fluorite the most, despite a lot of people going ham for the colored ones. Don't get me wrong~! I love me a beautiful Minerva No1 Mine Specimen (Which is still on my bucket list!) or a gorgeous, green Xianghualing! But the colorless pieces, such as a amazing Grube Clara piece from Germany or a Dalnegorsk Specimen are, to me, just simple & incredibly beautiful. Especially if they have this beveled edges-shape.
I didn't know that there are colorless Beryl as well! Welp! Time to extend my wishlist!
Colourless Zircon is one of my favourite clear gems. As ell as the age it also has great sparkle. Great video.
You could do an A to Z of gems getting one from each letter
Good idea! We started on that once, even lined up some Xaxim for it, but I think it fell through somewhere along the way. Maybe we'll try again!
I have colorless iolite/cordiorite water clear, it's amazing.
You guys thanks for informing of gemstones
That was a fascinating episode! I was not aware of even half of the gems you showed! It's always fascinating to me when I can learn something new and this episode was filled with new information! So thank you both for the education! I'm really going to have to save this episode or maybe download it because it was so full of new types of gemstones that I've never heard of it was almost sensory overload! But it will be great material to look back on and study!! Thanks again to both of you for a really great episode!❤
Thank you!
Goshenite, pollucite, danburite and phenakite especially are in my top 10 favourite gemstones, especially raw!
Hair en pointe team haha another great video 💎
In the cube of calcite I saw a tesseract very cool
I would love if when introducing each of the gemstones, their chemical formulas were included.
I believe the correct term for Phenakite is a nesosilicate not a neosilicate. Yes, some people use the term "neosilicate" but they are wrong. Neso- means island which is a reference to the fact that there are isolated silicate tetrahedra connected to each other by interstitial cations. These silicate tetrahedra therefore form "islands". Neosilicate doesn't mean anything. Neo- in both Greek and Latin means "new" which makes no sense in this context. I think "neosilicate" is simply a misreading of "nesosilicate" that many people have just run with.
Good to know. Thanks!
I was surprised not to see Quartz in the list.
Great video. I thought corundums were aluminum oxides, not silicates? The Goshenite shown has an area of bluish zoning which was probably preserved in the finished stone to retain weight and (very nicely) add intrigue. You can tell the blue is a zone as the gem is turned. I also might've not directly handled the Pollucite even though the risk of exposure to trace amounts of cesium is probably slim. Which is more valuable, Pollucite or Petalite? I love the chemistry component of gems. It's just mind-boggling to me that altering the ratios and amounts of Be, Si, O, and Al can give you Phenakite.......or a more prized Goshenite. Wow! 🤨
yeah, you're right about corundum. We goofed and didn't manage to catch it in time.
Tons of flavor ya'll! Would love to see a show on the Super Hardness MOH Scale Stones. Are Space Diamonds harder then regular Diamonds?
Great video.. Thanks for it..
Ya that beryl was also my favorite. I have always loved phenakite too though. If that giant beryl was more of rain drop shape id be super tempted....
Have you guys done a video on tenebrescent stones? They seem to be lesser known
Fluorite is the best! I love how many colors it can take on! (I still need some red 😂)
Beautiful
So cool. Thanks!! Can I add these to Christmas list???
Yes of course!
Could the colorless corundum be recut to diminish or eliminate the orange inclusion?
I appreciate when your presenters speak to us (the camera) as the audience being educated lol
_Sometimes It feels like the male presenters on the show can "mansplan" things to the females and it can come across a little condescending; because they're also experts._
*But you're all super great at what you do & I appreciate you making videos for us* 😊
I think Rob would be the first to acknowledge that Rebecca is much more of an expert when it comes to gemstones
Maine also has a lot of Goshenite! For Maine Beryls, Goshenite and Aquamarine are kind of like two ends of a spectrum. Stones in-between are given one name or the other depending on which they are closer to. Aquamarine is also more profitable to sell. It's kind of like pink sapphire vs ruby.
The Bethel, ME area is a great place to go rock hounding. Because of how the mines used to harvest mica in the region, there are huge piles of rubble filled with tourmalines, garnets, multiple types of quartz, special types of feldspar, and less well known gems like the beryllium-containing one also mentioned in this video. Plus, there's a beautiful gem museum in Bethel that focuses entirely on the gemicological history and makeup of Maine. You may even meet the folks who own the world's biggest known ore of lithium. It's a really fun way to learn about gemstones and rock hounding, but it's still accessible for beginners. If you venture out to the Maine coast, you may get to visit a beach painted with garnet sand! (That is sand made out of garnet instead of quartz/calcium carbonate.)
I forgot to mention the amethysts! Lots of amethysts too. There is also an entire beach covered in Jasper. Sorry for blabbering on. I just really love the gemstones of Maine. The fresh lobster isn't too bad either.
You can also get a bucket of the mine dirt mailed to you at home. I also forgot to mention that some of the largest Beryls in the world have been found in the region. There's also incredible mica that the government and public relied on for important technological progress. I think I'm done... maybe...
Good!
Corundums are aluminium oxides, not aluminium silicates as stated around 9:38. Easy slip up after all of the other silicate minerals.
Still a great video!
Oops! Nice catch
🎉🎉🎉
Peptol Bismol cookies will be on the rise due to this video 🎄🥳🎊🥂🍾
Quartz?
😊
Saw 4 fingers. Time for a eye doc appointment.

@ 9:42 nice shot of his baby smooth never done anythaing hard in my life perfectly manicured dude hands!!!!!!!!!! I admire the fact that he has hands like that! but could never be attracted to it as a female. But i like him and his facial hair so much on these videos, that I feel confused now!!!!!! Anyway ! 🤣❤ maybe JTV should send him on some mining expeditions to roughen those hands up and give us some cool new videos???????❤
Turtles all the way down.
The Arabs are interested in "The long-awaited Book", And they are ready to pay a lot for it. I think that they deserve it. what do you think?
Seeing cleavage planes like this is so interested, way cooler way to display a raw piece than by cutting and polishing
Don’t use the word giving😂
This hairstyle suits Rob more and infinitely more beautiful than long hair👍
