Nice beryl! I have a reddish one 👍🏼 Not sure where it’s from though I got it at a gem and mineral show when I was probably younger than you... it’s been a minute 🤣 OMG That hiddenite and emerald!!! 💎👀🤯🤤🤤🤤
Correction on the Feldspars, there are many different main types of Feldspar, about 7-9 categories I can't remember. And then on top of that, those Feldspar species grow in multiple different combinations of each type. I have real Moonstones with schiller colored white, grey, black, and even purple blue. My moonstones do not have the same cleavage as the Feldspar you have there, the cleavage and fracturing differs depending how much of each Feldspar species is in the stone and the predominant species of Feldspar the stone is. Labradorite and Moonstone are not the same, unless you are talking about the Moonstone that shines from the imperfect fracturing sides and not the cleavage plane. Feldspars are complicated gemstones, see what I wrote in the very beginning for reference to what I mean.
Beryl is NOT Corundum. Those are two distinctly different gemstone species. Emerald, Aquamarine, and Heliodor (the yellow stone you are holding is Heliodor) all belong to the Beryl family and have a hardness of 8. Sapphire and Ruby belong to the Corundum family and have a hardness of 9. This guy has no clue what he is talking about, but he will get there.
I apologize for the late response, but at that time I was starting to become more involved in geology and gemology. I have since started my own business fir buying and selling mineral specimens. I hope to research more topics to make some more videos. Thank you so much!

That is cool. So you are able to go to a spot at the mine and dig up the rocks? Nice.
You were ae to bring a collection from home for identification? Really nice.
Yep! The mine has a sluiceway as well!
@@msexplorerinnc149 Yeah the staff is very knowledgeable so I always bring stones that I have a hard time identifying

are you a novice player in rocks? I hope your channel is always successful
