So very interesting :) Since I'll never be able to afford an emerald, I opted for a chrome diopside ring. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE my chrome diopside. The green is absolutely stunning and nearly flawless in the clarity. BUT, it''s also a softer stone so yes, I am careful with it.
I went to Colombia to buy Emeralds, i got hustled by a jeweler, went through alot to get my money back, afterwards i found a Jewelry store that was honest and provided me with astonishing beautiful emeralds and at great price i`ve learned alot from your video thanks and keep it up!
Not sure about the finest quality but some good material does come from that locality. I’m biased I live here in Brazil I believe some of the most amazing emeralds come from Nova Era Minas Gerias state Brazil
I bought one ...I am in the Phase of waiting for it. 2,54 ct from Zambia. With fissures and oiled. But I still already Love it. I really Don’t know if I made a Good Shot with the Price. I think even Experts exaggerate the actual worth to make Business.
Hi! You mentioned that emeralds can be very hard, but fragile when not being perfectly clear. An emerald without imperfections would be durable enough to wear every day (like an engagement ring)? Or would you recommend another kind of stone? Any other in green color? :)
My wife has worn her lab grown emerald for years and hasn't broken it. Of course, lab grown have fewer inclusions and are therefore less fragile. Also, the emeralds recovered from the shipwreck of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha were on the sea bottom for 300 years and seem to have survived just fine, so are they really so fragile?
Very good info, I've recently inherited a ring which has a natural incredibly small emerald in it, am trying to find out if it's worth appraising or not but I'm guessing it is. It's gorgeous despite it's size it has this beautiful shine too it when it catches the light just right.
Great video!! I've been waiting for you to do a video on the emerald. I've noticed most jewelers only sell lab-created emeralds. Is it difficult to find a jeweler that will sell a natural emerald and is it hard to find a good emerald?
Given there price point, there are a lot of jewelers ( especially chains) that choose not to carry much, if any, natural Emerald. If you go into a reputable independent jeweler you will likely find them willing to source what you are looking for. But sadly, not a lot of inventory to browse. Thanks for watching!
Previous to Blue Aquamarine being the most sought after colour approx 1920-30 Green aquamarine was more prized, was my understanding, as opposed to "Green Beryl"
Great Job on the Channel (Gave you a sub) Wanted to ask about so called ,,Russian Emeralds,, do they have something common with normal Emerald? Also do they have some good value or not much ? Thank you :)
Russian emeralds are emeralds in the same "strictu senso" as Colombian ones. The fact is that they might contain, or not, iron in their composition. But, they are also beautiful and expensive. The most valuable ones are the Colombian ones, with few or not inclusions and slightly bluish green.
Hi I have recently bought an emerald and wearing it in a ring for astrological purpose. Should I oil that emerald to keep it in good condition? If yes then could you pls let me know which oil to use and the process please
I've been finding some really cool.Gym stones in my backyard.I've got some beautiful sapphire Ruby and then I've got other red gym stones.I'm not really good at this.I was wondering if you could help me out by looking at somebody's maybe I can send you some
0.03 crt $537 0.015 crt 830 1,912 crt $5000 I found 3 rings to purchase, but not sure if crt difference is the quality or the quantity. I just want a small piece of emerald ring , I care about quality but I don’t care about how big the stone is. Can you help me please?

I am into Gemstone trading and Faceting business from Pakistan... We have 5th largest deposit of gemstones in world .. Sapphire, Aquamarine, Peridot are of high class found here
i bought an emerald bead choker at a thrift shop, it is of course filled with inclusios and opaque, and a lovely forrest green color, beads have multiple facets (briolet?) granduated size, biggest about 1.5 cm. cost was $300 $US so shall i assume it is dyed and resin filled? thanks for your great video!
I was bored as i was digging through my pile of rubies, emeralds, sapphires, moldavite, Alexandrite , opals, topaz, aquamarine and tourmalines when i saw this video so here i am and very interested 😃🙂 (edit) Yes. All A grade stones.
what is thinking about panjesher makni mine emerald and its value becouse in all vedio explnation you didnt mention afganistan emeralid and its value and colour . and some time we find good colour and clearty from sawat pakistan
I want to know if you got emerald on the surface which already burned (it looked like chalco)there is possibility of finding fine emerald under the ground?and second it is possibility emerald can be found near the river?
How can you tell if a stone has been dyed, should you still be able to see the gradient? Clear/green u seen in small ring emeralds, on something as thick as a 14k squareish cut antique pendant or can the thickness of the stone interfere with the visability? Thank you ❤️
Long story short, no. One should not expect to see any fading in colour with respect to natural untreated emeralds, however, Maxxixe Beryl, a deep blue variety of beryl shown at one point in this video but not discussed is known to fade after light exposure.
Red beryl, or Bixbite, is not the same as emerald. The red colouring in bixbite comes from the presence of manganese where emerald is coloured by chromium.
Sounds like he is catering to the buyer. Next year a slight yellow in the green is better because the blue does not light the light shine through. Notice the Colombian mine produces blue green emeralds and that mine is pumping out emeralds like a tootsie roll factory.
Yes thank you very much for asking my name is Doris Goodyear and I have a camera on that same white I want to swimming and I forgot all about that had the necklace and when I get out at home it was white do you explain it please thank you very
Your exposition is focus on the mineralogy aspect of the stone ( same happen with others of your videos )The esthetic and same cases,historial aspects are very important part to be consider in describing gems . And please change those curtains!!!!! There are so ugly that make imposible to concentrate in your discourse
In my opinion, Pakistani emeralds from the Swat valley region, and, in particular from the Gujar Killi mine are world class. These emeralds are often found to be comparable in quality and colour to some of the best Brazilian and Columbian stones yet considerably less costly when looking for a top quality stone, although, sometimes stones from the Swat valley contain excessive iron which may subdue the brightness whilst contributing to a more blueish hue. It's all a matter of personal taste when it comes to gemstones, I, myself am in agreeance with the general market in that I prefer emeralds with a slight blueish hue to those with more yellowish overtones, however, I know some people who prefer the more yellowish greens from Columbia, and, others who simply love the darker greens often seen in Zambian emeralds. Emeralds can be a bit tricky though with the acceptance of oiling, and, it being so prevalent in the industry, oiling has a way of hiding most of, if not, all of the surface reaching fractures, making it hard to be sure of what you're looking at. A detailed report, or, personal access to gemological equipment is a real benefit when purchasing emeralds for investment purposes. For those who simply want a gorgeous stone and don't care so much about the provenance, I'd suggest a hydrothermal synthetic emerald, they're in my opinion the most beautiful of the synthetics available.
12 years ago I walked into a local independent jewelry store and the lady I spoke to was very interested in making my dream of an emerald ring come true. May birthday so I've always wanted a birthstone ring. I picked out a setting and they ordered some emeralds for me to pick from. No one else has a ring exactly like mine. Most stores are - this is what we have, take it or leave it. I've also purchased a few of their estate sale rings, and I recommend them to my friends.
I love watching your videos when I’m high because they’re so interesting and your voice is so soothing! Loving all this info! And you have great charisma on camera! These are very enjoyable!! Keep it up, guy!
Very informative video. About inclusions. I have an emerald and 18K gold pinky ring that I got a few years ago while on vacation. The inclusions are visible to the naked eye but you have to get up close with the stone to see them. The inclusions are wispy and found in the middle of the rectangular cut gem. To me, with you back up, the "jardin" gives the emerald a lush, velvety appearance. This is one of the three "serious" rings that I own, and one that I only wear on special occasions. I also have a pair of Chatham emerald stud earrings set in 14K. You can really see the difference when you put the natural emerald next to the lab created. The latter is much more saturated with more sparkle. Still, the character of the natural emerald makes it a favorite.
My Mom’s birthday was May 1st. One day, she told me she wished she had been born a day earlier cause her birthstone would be a diamond … I then told her she didn’t do to bad getting a freakin emerald!
Very interesting. I absolutely loved your video. I’m trying to increase my knowledge on different types of stones and you’re a very fine teacher. Very well explained. Very well. Thank you for your video.
I live in Washington state and came across something called "Mt. St. Helens emerald." Are those real emeralds? Do they have any value at all? Thanks for the informative videos.
Those are not Emerald. Probably they were said to be glass made from the ashes of Mt Saint Helens, but over time I understand they have abandoned trying to continue using these ashes. It is more a tourist piece of jewelry from what I can see. Good question. Thanks for watching!
Hi, love your video. I'm from South Africa 🌍 have inherited stones from my father who passed when I was 11 all emerald and beryl and some diamonds. Mining was his hobby, I'm in my 50s now and want to sell them but don't know how to go about this. Can you please advise me on the how to. Much appreciated🙏
Thank you for yet another great video. I really enjoy when you elaborate on the physics background. The crystallization and the inclusions etc. With kind regards Thomas
How can I be sure that I am buying a natural emerald with accepted treatment? it seems like it’s much less expensive to purchase gemstone jewelry online and I see many sellers claim their stones are natural AAA quality, and will also give a certificate of authenticity. Is that enough to trust them?
If something seems too good to be true it most probably is. This is not to say that bargains don't exist, but, just a cautionary note, there are many unscrupulous sellers on the internet currently, many of them will lie to make a sale, these people are not selling their products at a loss. If what they are selling was valuable? They most likely wouldn't be selling their stock cheaply.
Tbh I want to know now the differences between emeralds coming from different countries. Which places produce more blue specimens for instance, what political situations these areas face, all of these things are part of a piece’s story
I am just beginning to shop for a real Colombian Emerald. My girlfriend is from Colombia and ONLY will accept an Emerald from there. I had heard, before watching your video, that Emeralds were not that hard and suggested to have some protection around it, whether some prongs or other metal or possibly stones/diamonds. Now that I know it is harder but fragile should I make sure the setting has some 'protection' around it to help protect it? Also, any specific questions I need to ask to insure a high quality true Emerald from Colombia? Thanks
A traditional 'emerald cut' stone is more suitable for use in everyday jewellery, avoid round and oval cut stones as they have a higher chance of becoming damaged over time. There are numerous setting styles available, it's best to consult with the jeweller who is working on creating your piece(s) to discuss your concerns, depending on whether the stone(s) will be set in a ring or a pendant will effect the options, as rings are more prone to damage they'll generally require a more protective setting than pendants/earrings would. You should enquire about a stones treatment if any, and, a detailed gem report if available. I would also personally suggest that, if you can afford to pay a premium? Choose and untreated stone if possible.
Emerald is beautiful,but not for every day wear,esp when it’s a ring we ware talking about,so I never suggest having one in an engagement/wedding ring set. If you do decide to get an emerald ring,only wear it when you're not gonna be working with your hands.
Great video . If I wanted to buy / make fake and great looking for fantasy ring ect.. where and what should I start looking ? Been to Micheals but to cheap looking . EX: if I wanted to buy one and wanted to pay 100 bucks for it as a fantasy item that looks fun and beautiful . Thank hope to hear from you soon .

So very interesting :) Since I'll never be able to afford an emerald, I opted for a chrome diopside ring. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE my chrome diopside. The green is absolutely stunning and nearly flawless in the clarity. BUT, it''s also a softer stone so yes, I am careful with it.

U guys never talk about emerald in the north Afghanistan a Place called Panjshir valley it has one the finest emeralds in the world
Not sure about the finest quality but some good material does come from that locality. I’m biased I live here in Brazil I believe some of the most amazing emeralds come from Nova Era Minas Gerias state Brazil

No they don't. The best emeralds are from Zambia and Colombia .

How rare is the darker emerald with no light?

If in the USA, then visit Peter Marco, the jeweller, I'm sure you can get what you want.
@@mahmoudrubeya7876 Any raw emerald source recommendations?

Check out Zambian Emeralds. Really affordable and mined by locals.

what treatments do they do on lab grown emeralds?
I bought it in Bogota about 40 years ago and I didn’t get a certificate. It is big and beautiful.
Great Job on the Channel (Gave you a sub) Wanted to ask about so called ,,Russian Emeralds,, do they have something common with normal Emerald? Also do they have some good value or not much ? Thank you :)
Are they demantoid? I know that Russia is famous for demantoid which is green and also prized. Idk if they are the same mineralogically speaking
Russian emeralds are emeralds in the same "strictu senso" as Colombian ones. The fact is that they might contain, or not, iron in their composition.
But, they are also beautiful and expensive.
The most valuable ones are the Colombian ones, with few or not inclusions and slightly bluish green.
Each country has unique emerals .some emerals container vanadium and cromium so with cromium are more valuable than vanidium

what about amazonite, that is a beryl mineral??
Amazonite is a feldspar mineral, other feldspars include moonstone/labradorite/sunstone etc.
Any crystal embedded in a rock that is green colored are emeralds and anything red are rubies. Isn't it correct?.. Please clarify.
Bring Emeralds back! Screw Diamonds!
Do you have any info about buying or selling emeralds?
What’s the average per carrot of emeralds. Average emeralds not the crazy expensive ones. Also a popular cut??
So very informative ❤
Hi opaque emeralds are any value...? As you showed in video
As a general rule...not very much. Of course you can sell them, but not for very much.
hi iam going to buy an emerald , where should i buy a good no-treated emerald
Whats your opinion on the newer yellow emeralds that were popular about 6 years ago i have a few and there so clear. Thanks
I would imagine a "yellow Emerald" would be Helidor, yellow Beryl.
How can you tell if a stone has been dyed, should you still be able to see the gradient? Clear/green u seen in small ring emeralds, on something as thick as a 14k squareish cut antique pendant or can the thickness of the stone interfere with the visability? Thank you ❤️
It really depends on the quality of the stone to begin with and the process used. Some are convincing, while others are obvious.
Can natural untreated emeralds fade in the sun?
Long story short, no.
One should not expect to see any fading in colour with respect to natural untreated emeralds, however, Maxxixe Beryl, a deep blue variety of beryl shown at one point in this video but not discussed is known to fade after light exposure.
My birthstone 😁
Can you make a recommendation for a lapidary who specializes in rough emeralds?
We are cutting Emerald from SriLanka.
Very nice
What causes an emerald to be red? I saw one in a ring and was informed it was the natural color of the emerald.
Red beryl, or Bixbite, is not the same as emerald. The red colouring in bixbite comes from the presence of manganese where emerald is coloured by chromium.
Sounds like he is catering to the buyer. Next year a slight yellow in the green is better because the blue does not light the light shine through.
Notice the Colombian mine produces blue green emeralds and that mine is pumping out emeralds like a tootsie roll factory.
Emeralds looks better and sparkle more without the treatment. I will never understand why the treat it.
I know about chemical characteristics of emroled

In my opinion, Pakistani emeralds from the Swat valley region, and, in particular from the Gujar Killi mine are world class.
These emeralds are often found to be comparable in quality and colour to some of the best Brazilian and Columbian stones yet considerably less costly when looking for a top quality stone, although, sometimes stones from the Swat valley contain excessive iron which may subdue the brightness whilst contributing to a more blueish hue.
It's all a matter of personal taste when it comes to gemstones,
I, myself am in agreeance with the general market in that I prefer emeralds with a slight blueish hue to those with more yellowish overtones, however, I know some people who prefer the more yellowish greens from Columbia, and, others who simply love the darker greens often seen in Zambian emeralds.
Emeralds can be a bit tricky though with the acceptance of oiling, and, it being so prevalent in the industry, oiling has a way of hiding most of, if not, all of the surface reaching fractures, making it hard to be sure of what you're looking at.
A detailed report, or, personal access to gemological equipment is a real benefit when purchasing emeralds for investment purposes.
For those who simply want a gorgeous stone and don't care so much about the provenance, I'd suggest a hydrothermal synthetic emerald, they're in my opinion the most beautiful of the synthetics available.
