Can I just say, that as a gem enthusiast this channel has enriched my knowledge of gemstones and minerals so much, it makes me very thankful to live in this day and age. You people bring an incredible quality of knowledge to youtube, it's almost mind blowing to think I don't have to pay for it. Thank you people so much.
Being collecting since I am a kid, 26 now and I have never learned so much so quickly, thank you guys!
My found rhodolite garnet channal name zümrütlerin efendisi
Same here!❤
agree:)
As a January baby, my grandma gave me her mother's garnet and diamond ring for my 18th birthday. It's still my favorite piece of jewelry. Very dark red color
With out Hesitation, Uvarovite and Tsavorite, That Deep green color is just too Amazing to Under look!
Wow, a stunning array of Garnets there, all of them with their own geological story. Personally I found the Garnet family the most difficult species of gemstone to ever to study. 🤯
Full stop, rainbow andradite garnets are my favorite and more folks need to check them out, despite their rarity!
As a true lover of all-things even slightly iridescent!!!!! Im going to half to agree with bros choice for the closer look!!! A truly rare beauty!!!!!
Deep fan of almandine garnet here. I did my PhD in a gold mine that has a garnet-biotite schist that looks a lot like the graphite-dravite-garnet you showed.
Demantoid garnet is easily my favorite garnet-not only for the dispersion, but it just so happens my fave color is inch worm green, & demantoids seem to have a more yellow hued green, vs the also gorgeous tsavorite
I think that garnet is one of the most underrated gemstones!!!❤ and im happy to say that i have loved this episode enough to watch it afew times!!!!
Spessartine and tsavorite are my favorites. Green is my favorite color and Garnet is my birthstone so I've always wanted a tsavorite.
That color of Spessartine is so breathtaking.
My engagement ring is an oval shaped rhodolite garnet from North Carolina. In sunlight it looks more red to me and in electric lights it looks more purple. It's fun to see how it changes and always looks interesting and beautiful
The lite brite piece is AMAZING! Wow!
Great video. I wish it was longer and included the rare Masasi blues, Mali, Malaia, colorless, and color shift garnets. I have a bunch of q's. Are all garnets magnetic? If it's only the spessartine, ignoring clarity as an identifying feature, is it possible to isolate spessartines from pale orange hessonites using a magnet? Is it possible to sight-id a tsavorite vs. green demantoid if there's no horsetail clue? Could a magnet assist? For future videos, I'd like to see one about magnetic gemstones. Thanks and congrats if you made it through the entirety of my comment. LOL.
Aside from tourmaline, garnet is my largest collection! I absolutely love it, especially tsavorite and Rhodolite! Both have amazing colors, plus garnet crystals are just so cool! I have a small spessartine cluster in my collection that exhibits the crystal structure very well! Definitely a big favorite, awesome video! 💎 I got super lucky to purchase a very very tiny Demantoid, i absolutely love Demantoids fire!
If I HAD to choose a favorite, I’d go with Rhodolite with intense purple shades
I didn't know that garnets had a variety of color! Super beautiful pieces 😍
Oh my gosh! So my birthstone is a garnet. And I have always been put off by the deep “poop red” as I liked to call it when I was younger. I can’t believe I didn’t know about all of the different colors there are!! I am so excited with this new information thank you guys!!!
I'm getting a gorgeous almandine in matrix (schist) tomorrow!!
Wow! That 2nd BOX has Humongous possibilities!
Garnets are so cool and beautiful
Anthill garnets!
Tsavorite, Hessonite, Spessartite ... I love my garnets ! Uvarovite is stunning too.
She's got a beautiful smile 😍.
OMG!! I just love this episode. I was waiting for this.. Great job for this episode! Got my Tsavorite, Almandine, Spessartite and Rhodolite :)
Rob i love you. thank you for being a left-handed sympathizer 💖
Wow! What amazing timing. I was just trying to research a bit about identifying the different types of garnet
I Love the way they explain the Chemical Elements! I am learning a lot from these teachings! Thank you very much! 🙏🏽
I love this channel so much…it’s like a daily delight and I am so grateful to be able to watch these gems of videos! ❤️
Thank you so so much for sharing such a informative information about the GEMSTONES!! Thanks a lot ☺
I love my birthstone. So much variety and color in the garnet family.
Congratulations on the amazing video you uploaded and shared it with us!!
Have a nice time!!
Happy new year!!
14:05 The correct call is: Variety: Iridescent, Species: Andradite, Group: Garnet. They are mostly found in Japan.
This was a great video, thank you.
Darryl's cuts are great! I love the ones that go from a traditional facet to like a matte intaglio look.
Great video! I can not even to begin to choose which is my favorite!
You actually made me love my birthstone. I'm not usually into these things but I had to check our your channel coz one of my best friends loves gems so much. All these facts are so fascinating even to a non-enthusiast. Gonna sub for more interesting info.
LOVE this video Ive been telling myself to study up on garnets for awhile now you guys are great have an amazing day
Thankyou! 😀 this was SSSOOO COOL! The orange & the rasberry 1st & last ones u showed.
I came here from the episode part b to this
I would put the anthill garnet as my favorite only because of the ant factor lol
I love this channel. I have been prospecting and treasur hunting, but recently started getting into rocks and gems. I have been finding a lot of levitright (leave it right there). Thanks for the great content.
Garnet is my favorite gemstone. I’m fortunate to add a pastel pyrope garnet to my collection. Awesome video!
If I had to choose a favourite then I'd have to say Demantoid Garnet. The fire on those is just...😍🔥💚
very helpfuly garnet information .
Well, now i know i have garnets in the cabinet! Thank you for your efforts the both of you & the behind-the-scene crew.
Thank you for the video. I am new to gems, but I am discovering that garnets are quickly becoming a favorite. I got a beautiful colored 30 carat Hessonite that I think is one of the prettiest garnets I have ever seen. I also just recently got my first two samples of tsavorite garnet and I am in love with the rich green.
I would like to get a demantoid garnet for my collection someday.
Wow great pieces today! Going to add some of those to the collectors list! I actually didn’t know garnet is magnetic!
I live in Ga. An I know nothing about gem stones, but my grandson an I picked up many of old looking rocks that had red stones just basically fall off by picking it with your finger nail. Dark red and more like crystals from their shapes. Over the years we had a plastic lunch bag with around two hundred of the stones. I just figured they were garnets since garnets aren't rare. You'll be amazed at what you can find when walking .
excellent - thank you
Glad you liked it!
Stunning, I like them all. Such incredible array of Garnet, never know this before, enjoy the video so much and thank you. I’m also a January baby so my fav stone is Garnet.😊
Oh wow fantastic video fantastic presentation will all these gems specially of one family fantastic knowledge which is awesome now your picks at the end the bigger one is so cool to me. But I have to say both when looked at close look like piece’s of space frozen in time. Awesome thank u
Love the rhodolite and anthill, but have recently added to earring collection color changing garnet! Looked it up, and indeed appears to be variety of garnet.
It is strange that Spessartine doesnt have iron or any magnetic element in it but is absorbed to magnet.
I have lots of very rare Iranian Andradite, Topazolite and Demantoid including a magnificent 0.7kg+ killer Androdite specimen from a mine that isn't being mined (someone went in and took a few things). Let me know if you are interested, I can send photos.
Which country is the specimen from?
Yayzies! Garnets! Demantoid is by far and away my absolute favorite gemstone. I bought a pair of Green Dragon Mine Octavia?? Cut??? Maybe the cut is called something close. I forget. But they were from Jtv. I also bought a pair of 40pt each GDM round brilliant cuts and white gold posts to set them in. 7 years later.... which was 2017, a couple years back I had taken them out and set them on my ottoman before I fell asleep on my sofa with my adorbs schnauzer. When I woke up one was gone, and she looked guilty AF. Never did find it.
Happy New year to ya'll.
BTW...... My whole body hangs from your cheekbones gurl. Like for real. Gorge☺🥳
Just bought a pair of vintage earring studs in 18k on ebay with 8mm round purple rhodolite, can't wait to see them!!! Love garnets. Have a pair of 10mm round earrings in mandarin garnet, that is what I was told anyway, when I bought them about 20 years ago...beautiful orange orange, not yellowish, brownish, or too red. Nice video, subscribing!
Great channel for students. Got hooked on your channel after taking mineralogy and getting the bug for it. Definitely feel like I'm getting an edge for petrology later :)
I have 2 garnets,one purple and one exactly like the magenta pyrope x
That's amazing, i love garnets
So happy I found this channel today, do you guys have any videos on sunstones? I’m superrrr interested in learning more about Oregonian sunstones since they have copper imbedded into them unlike other sunstones in the world! Thanks!!
I have a piece of that red ember garnet. So cool!
Can’t choose. I love them all !
Another cute video people. We have all those types of Garnets. Its hard to pick a favorite..............
Aaaahhhh!!! My birthstone ! I love every color and type of Garnet. It would be so hard to choose!
January baby here..my fav garnets are the Spessartite/Pyrope blue colour changers (Tanzanian material) ...and the colourless grossulars that tend to sparkle like diamonds..and star garnets....none of which were shown in this video, but great video nevertheless!
I'm a January baby and I love that garnet is my birthstone! It's such a fascinating mineral with such variety in both colour and chemistry!! I loved learning about their solid solution series in my geo science studies!! But I actually learned something new today, garnets are magnetic?! That's so cool!
It really is!
Definitely Spessartine and Hessonite 🧡💎
When I heard you guys say that Spessartine garnets are magnetic I had to go find the big garnet crystal I mined at the old Ruggles mine in NH...and it was magnetic! I learned sumpin! Kewl!
The Green beautiful one
I just discovered your channel it's lovely and so educational. ❤
Welcome!
Not my birthstone, but it's my absolute favorite gemstone.
My fave - spessartite.
I have some stones that looks like a garnets .the color ranges from purplish red ,mandarin red and orange red. The color depends on where it is viewed and the light used.
My favorite is: Rebecca!
Thought there were seven different types... everything but blue.
Love the 'ant hill' Arizona pyrope...deep red
Magnetic...cool
And grape garnet...
Constantly looking for one of those beautiful natural Cube matt looking finish garnets on matrix for my humble collection now !!!! 😊
my mom had passed on a necklace to me years ago with garnet in it , one stone is green and one is more of a dark purple color
I can agree with dudes pic 4 closer look!!!! Just beautiful and very rare!!!! And I'm a huge fan of all things iridescent so I didn't even know Garnet could make iridescence so that's just incredible to me!!!!! I see that Garnet surrounded by perfectly cut white topaz on thin platinum band . Maybe with 2 tiny Marquee cut teal sapphires on the very sides of the band!!!!!!!! And I pick surrounded by white topaz because I don't want anything too shiny take away from the iridescence of that amazing two in one garnet!!!!! And the band because it needs to be thin but strong enough to protect softer Stones has to be made in Platinum but I don't want it held with claws more like the rounded almost beaded prongs!!!!!!
Close but not all varties covered understandable though as garnet is amzing
Rebecca should have her own podcast❤️
Super video 📹 sir
New sub ! Liked 😀✌️🙃❤️
demantoid ofcourse. and the dark red ones. :)
The pyro 🧨
Hi hillo idol, God bless you. Watching from pinas setio palanog Garita San Enrique Iloilo.
I love Rhodolite garnet
I've always loved garnets, one of my prize possessions is a star garnet (6 carats) in a gold ring setting, it is a deep red, I think it is a Pyrope. I have other garnets too. You guys are great but you never mention any of the "mystical" lapidary secrets...garnet is the "old maid's stone" because of it's use in Victorian mourning jewelry, it was said to put iron in the spine of a spinster! Garnet is one of the 3 "bloodstones", the Romans would set them in the hilts of swords to staunch the blood of wounds, Garnet was said to give courage and inspire valor. The AngloSaxon sword of Redewulf found at Sutton Hoo has a hilt set with garnets. This is part of the ancient lore of stones, wear a garnet and take courage!
By the way the other 2 bloodstones are Hematite (it "bleeds" when you grind it) and the green jasper known as "Bloodstone" with the inclusions of red jasper redolent of the "Blood of Christ". You guys should mention the ancient lore of stones occasionally, you know folks are curious about the alleged magical powers of gemstones...there is a wealth of information to talk about there.
I'd like for you to do a review on color change garnnets, Please.
Tsavorite!
I Love all colors all garnets
Btw im a July baby but i have always like the deep red of garnet more than most prized Ruby.
What about the color change Garnets, or other Corundums, like Sapphires
I remember growing up being so disappointed in how “bland” my birthstone was but it’s so complex! So glad I ran into the video. Now I have a different appreciation for garnets.
That was the idea!
Guys, ya'll forgot Star Garnet found in Idaho! 😎
We didn't exactly forget. We just didn't have one on hand for this episode. But we hope to feature it soon!
Are the items shown on these episodes just company collection stock or are they items one can actually purchase?
I have this red ston
I have brown garnet
Wow.
جميل جدا... هل هو الماس احمر على شكل بلورات
Love this episode. Love garnet dearly, although some times I can not distinguish between some types of garnet and zircon. Any tips please.
Thank you! One of the easiest ways to separate garnet and zircon actually only requires a 10x loupe. Zircon is very strongly doubly refractive, so upon examination at the proper angles, the facet edges can appear to double (the stone can often generally look blurry under magnification). Garnet is singly refractive so there is no doubling. Let us know if you need any other tips!
@@gems Thank you very much. That is certainly helpful to know.
Start an argument with on sentence
Hydrogrossular shouldn't really even be considered a garnet.
Now that I got that out of my system.🙂
I'm stuck torn between spessartine and pyrope when it comes to picking a favourite garnet, usually I prefer to collect spessartines, yet, I can't ignore how brilliantly clean and simultaneously pale some pyrope can be.
Decisions like these that are made even more difficult when isomorphism is considered...
If I just pick the pyralspite group I'm pretty sure my favourite is somewhere in there🙄
Left handed here, thank you for your sympathy. It is a struggle.
