This is not a typical unboxing! Today, expert gemologist Charles is walking our host Sarah through four basic tests that all gemology students use everyday! We have three mystery stones, and they're using a loupe, polariscope, dichroscope, and spectrometer to identify them. If you've ever wondered what it's like to study gemology, then you'll love this video. Make sure you stay to the end to learn how you can win your very own specimen!

Even as a British ex-pat, I still find Charles' accent, intonation and speech cadence entirely riveting and fully representative of advanced education, vast knowledge and experience, and disciplined commitment to gemology and teaching. It automatically made me sit up straight and pull my ears back into alignment with my shoulders. 👏👏👏

Thank you for the informative video on how to use the gem tools. All I have is a loupe. I didn’t know that even with a loupe, I can discover more information other than just inclusions. I enjoyed this video.

@cesarhenao3412 12 күн бұрын

Honestly, I would like to have a large faceted piece of that selenium glass, and I know that the point of the video was to show how the devices work, but I would have liked them to show how to recognize gems that did not have such marked optical properties, let's say a faceted quartz. aquamarine, very clear minerals with almost zero inclusions and zero optical properties but well in the end I really liked it

1:29 Saying a green gem can't be a sapphire is not correct. I have a box of very green montana sapphires. I suppose the "only blue" is sapphire, argument can be used. As "only red" is a ruby. Being they're all Corundum,,, what should we call a pink, yellow, green or purple? If we want to sell them, (our goal afterall) what sounds better? Pink Corundum? Or pink Sapphire? Too many terms in my opinion, are confusing. For instance,, the words mineral "Growth" and mineral "Formation", are many times used interchangeably. But in my mind, are vastly different. I can "Grow" a flower in a pot. But i must "Form" the pot. Do Diamonds,, "Grow",,, 300 miles below the earths surface. Or were they "Formed"? (like a giant redwood being smashed to the size of a 1ct Diamond) I've yet to get this answered. I love watching,❤, too much. It keeps me from my faceting machine.🫤 💎
