I learned a few things! Thank you! Im a gem hoarder, a jtv junkie,... I have a little bit of star sapphire, cut and beads too! Love gems and need to find a gem cutter for a 17+ ct salon sapphire I have. Ive got lots of goodies to play with and make jewelry but thats my money maker! Dad was a GIA graduate.
I saw someone wearing a star sapphire ring and it was so beautiful. I asked permission to touch it and she let me roll the stone around to see the star move around. AMAZING!!!!
My stepfather was an amateur self gemologist. He passed before he could finish the wedding ring he was making me. He knew everything I loved and was devastated when the setting was too big and he wasn't able to keep working as the cancer advanced.
Great presentation and info, thank you!
New to your channel.. you are delightful! Glad to be here.
Got ahold of a black star sapphire. Wasnt sold as that, but I noticed it. Not super strong, but definitely there. Natural for sure. Weighs 85 ct!
I have a small lab grown saphire and it's really obvious because the star is so sharp, it just isn't as pretty as a softer looking earth mined one. It also is easy to see the curved bands.
Thank you very much for the knowledge ... It will be very helpful for me as an amateur gem and crystal collector ..
Thank you! Valuable info
Thanks a bunch! Was doubting if my research may have led me astray when I purchased a white star sapphire, but this video confirms the stone is indeed the real deal!
I love your videos, they really help
Thanks for the explanation..
amazing intro, thanks❤️
I like to look for tubing that may exist stacked along the depth/sides of the stone. Light can shine straight through lab created stones. Also the tiny indentation in the center of the back of many fakes which I could even see in this video, a clear indicator. I loved the details you shared. I have quite a few natural catseye and star gemstones. One I got on my own while I was polishing up a rough stone I had in my possession for decades! What a surprise to me! It was just given to me and listed as Onyx back then.
thanks
beautiful sapphire stones
Hi Peter, just discovered your channel and subscribed right away. Thank you for making these very informative videos. Love your videos and your personality.❤❤❤Too bad I just found out from this video that the star sapphire ring I bought from a famous high-end jewellery store "B**ks" using the savings from my very first job has a synthetic stone! 😭 Guess I don't need to feel bad about selling the ring to recoup the cost of the gold, at least. Can you do a video on 12-ray star sapphires too. I have 3 and I hope they are not synthetics too 😅 (I think they are natural as I can see the partial hexagonal banding in one of them, the visible iridescent silk/needles in all, the 12-ray stars look like one golden 6-ray star superimposed on a fainter white coloured 6-ray star)
Amazing,😮
New to your channel :-) you had an epic intro!
Happy Halloween Peter, I went as you this year lol. I couldn't grow my beard like yours ofcourse but I did alright. No one knew who I was 🤣🤣
