Great info' on Lapis Paul. I have a beautiful lapis necklace, large framed stones (I couldn't post a photo here) that I did your 'acetone' test so happy to know it's not dyed. I'm wondering if there's a way to polish the stones. They're beautiful but would just like to kick the luster up a notch. Thanks for your time!!

Lapis vs sodalite vs lazulite vs azurite. How do you tell the difference?

@pauldeasygemstones Жыл бұрын

That is an excellent question with a not so easy answer. But here is the answer: Lapis is technically a rock containing lazurite, Calcite, Pyrite, and other minerals including....you guessed it-sodalite! As for the question what is the difference between these gems? Every gem has unique physical, chemical, and optical properties. Even gems that look identical to another gem, further testing such as refractive index, specific gravity, and chemical composition will reveal those differences. To make it more complicated, is that certain gens are in the same group. For example, Lazurite is in the Sodalite group of minerals. A good example of this is the Garnet Group. You will notice on this channel there are several varieties of garnet with differences, but are all under the umbrella of the garnet group. I hope this answer is helpful for you!

My advice is to get straight to the point of your thumbnail and save the periphery for the close of the video and you might get far more subscribers ❤ God bless

Insightful video. Kindly discuss how mines separate gem quality stones from mineral/matrix pieces such as amethyst, tourmaline, ammonite, etc.

What does lapis do in human life ? It does not matter whatever contents is in it .please tell about its magical effects.

@jarofthoughts 2 жыл бұрын

It has exactly the same magical effects as any other gemstone. None.

Congratulations on continued online presence...looked for a lesson on Sodalite, did you intentionally leave it off?

@UDLTUBE Жыл бұрын

do you know of a reference guide that has some principles for combining gems, stones, minerals etc.? Got a Wild Horse cabochon for myself. Next will be White Buffalo 😅

@redeyestones3738 2 жыл бұрын

It is pronounced lah-zoo-lee. Not laz-you-lie. It's a derivative of latin. It means blue, and is definitely not pronounced the way you said it in this video.

Paul, I had some earrings made from lapis but one accidentally left in a pocket and got washed. It really did fade so I’m not even sure what the stone really was.

@pauldeasygemstones 3 жыл бұрын

Could have been lapis, but probably dyed

@alchemist6107 Жыл бұрын

Hy Paul. You said that Lapislazuli has no Kristall naturly Structure, but thats not quite right becaus I have one of these rar Exempl. ;) nearly like Granat peaces in Quarz/Marmor

@kathleenmayhugh2246 3 жыл бұрын

You mentioned lazulite as part of makeup of lapis, I've heard of lazulite as a gemstone on its own, could you please tell me what it is, and looks like?

Jeez, get into it, then sprinkle in some details. You probably lose 90% of viewers with your current format. I mean that in the most respectful, and helpful way possible.

Where have we landed on the hat issue? I came for the information about the gem, but I had no idea that the real story was here in the comment section.
