    My, what beautiful garnets! Those mint ones are to die for! The Tsavorite ones are pretty but the lighter mint ones are amazing! They remind me of peridot but a better green with less yellow in it. And fluorescent too!?! Whaaaaaat??? That's so awesome! And that it fluoresces that beautiful peachy/pink color, in freaking beautiful! I love garnets of all colors! The reds that we are used too, aren't as exciting as these gorgeous greens! It's beautiful and the wide range of green colors is so cool. And the orange hessonite ones are cool and different too! I love garnets!!! Thanks for the wonderful information in this episode!!

    Garnets can be beutiful, just like these. They can have a fantastic clarity and some interesting phenomena, including colour change and UV fluorescence.

  • @LostWithoutHer
    @LostWithoutHer 25 дней назад +1

    I thought it was chromium which caused the fluorescence, not vanadium. I think it's awesome that vanadium can do that. It's amazing when you realize tanzanite can also fluoresce because of the vanadium content, except for you risk bleaching your gem with prolonged exposure. If my logic is correct?
    I would like to see a comparison video of gem fluorescence from a 'bug zapper' light vs. a medical grade 'uv treatment lamp.' Some of my natural gems respond in varying intensities, to the bug zapper bulb but, I don't know anyone with a skin condition who has the medical lamp at home for me to view the responses under that light source. 🤔

    Enhanced stones are not my thing. It makes it more man-made and the sapphires and emeralds that are not enhanced are not even that pretty.

  • @drewskifrosty5955

    Mint grossular Garnet is just a lightly colored Tsavorite Garnet with a little more Vanadium and less Chromium. These are NOT NEW. I've had specimens in my collection for at least 10 years.

    • @gems
      @gems  28 дней назад +22

      To be fair, Jaimeen didn't claim that these were new. In fact, he said that they used to get tossed aside when looking for Tanzanite. What has increased in recent years is the appreciation for this beautiful stone.

    • @brianlawson363
      @brianlawson363 23 дня назад +1

      ​@@gems
      To be honest, the guest framed the 'mint green' grossular as a totally different variety when indeed what he has on offer is POORLY saturated Tsavorite. It is not a unique stone. Also, when a colored stone merchant comes to my office and they make the statement that X colored stone is thousands of times rarer than diamond they are bid good day and I invite my next diamond customer into my office. Rebecca, we need you back .

    • @ExsoLam
      @ExsoLam 17 дней назад +1

      I don't know that he really misrepresented anything, it's a newly commercialized find. He's marketing it sure, but he didn't say it was a newly discovered mineral or something

    She always looks like she’s paying attention to someone or something off camera and it’s very uncomfortable and awkward to watch. She keeps checking the other side of the room and averting her eyes, like she isn’t really present in the conversation taking place. She seems distracted constantly instead of focused on her guest and present in the conversation. It bothers me because it’s so awkward and rude to the guest. She also sounds a little dumb when she just responds with “yeah” “that’s really cool”. I’m not saying she is dumb, but she sounds dumb several times throughout the interview. Seriously, if she’s going to continue as a host please get her some coaching. It’s such a fascinating subject matter and this guest brings his A-game. He’s fascinating and she’s not bringing it.

      Unfortunately the awkward eyelines here are a necessary evil. We only had a short window to shoot this (Jaimeen is naturally in high demand). So, we positioned a monitor next to the camera, so they could make sure they were holding the gems where you could best see them. When you see Sarah looking off, it’s not because she’s distracted, it’s because she’s taking on extra responsibilities.
