This is really interesting. I've always been fascinated how ancient cultures cut and polished gemstones and made jewelry. I'd really like seeing you delve deeper into this.

I would have liked more detail on the ancient history. Engraved gemstones with detailed and often beautiful pictures were very popular in the Roman Empire.

That was a really good quick history of lapidary! The earliest known examples of ray tracing to achieve maximum light return was done on paper in the 1930s in the US and probably the most important step in creating a truly brilliant SRB.

Great vid as always but I would have like to hear a little more about Old Mine cuts and Old Euro Cuts specifically.

If you recreate the point cut and table cut in GemCad and GemRay, they actually look a lot better than I would have expected for how simple they are - there's actually some brilliance and dispersion. It's no round brilliant, but it looks cool.

Rob mentioned a perfect example or how it all got started, rounded stones. Natural cabochons that just need a chain or string added. I have several that are exactly that. Very interesting gemstones episode. Thanks!

I have great respect for gem cutters because I have tried it myself. Much harder than it looks. 🔷

Please tell me where Natalie went? I love all you guys, I remember when rob first showed up to get his geode cut. Please, where is Natalie, is she okay? It’s bad enough I had to search for Elizabeth and find out way later she was well in Arizona at an awesome job.

Natalie is doing well, but she no longer works in the gem industry.

Thank you Guys. A really interesting video. (But not long enough 😊). I’ve always wondered how gem cutting began. 🇳🇿

In addition there's another cut important for diamond industry, 201 facet patent cut designed by coster diamond house, one of the oldest in Europe.. Gives out much more luster than the brilliant cut.

Hardness and durability aren’t the same gemstones properties. Hardness is about the scratch resistance and durability is shatter resistance

Wow! Never knew why the culet was flattened. I guessed the stone was too long and was poking the wearer. I like yours better.

I agree, to me it came off as straight-up rude, even though I doubt that was the main speaker's intention.

“Let’s have Brittany participate for eye candy.” Her annoyance is evident by the eye rolling and foot tapping. But we’ll let the mullet speak and interrupt her instead of letting her contribute. Sad.

@timothysullivan6790 8 ай бұрын

Tiresome young people climbing their woke soapboxes.. Brittany never stops moving her eyes and feet and she’s obviously as knowledgeable as Rob and it’s routinely obvious that Rob knows and respects that. And what might be worse than making an obvious joke?

@ElleLillian 2 ай бұрын

@@timothysullivan6790 "woke soapboxes?" please go take a nap. Brittany hardly speaks AT ALL in this video and it's frustrating, AS A VIEWER, to have her sitting right there, probably with lots of info and insights to contribute, yet she either isn't given the conversational space to talk, or, if she was, the editors of the video have for some reason deemed what she had to say to be not valuable enough to be featured in the final video-- and BOTH possible reasons are offensive at worst and very rude at best.
