I hope you can one day do a video on Menilites! The funky looking Opal/flint concretions from Spain :)) They're really surreal and a perfect subject for a video :D

Oregon Sunstone would be a good example for a testing gemstone to use a dichroscope on.

Thank you for a simple description and demonstration. If you had zoomed in when actually using the Dichroscope to show the changes in colours it would have been even better. As it is in the video the camera is too far away for the viewer to see the changes and we have to rely on your words.

Every time I notice a new video from you guys I get so excited to learn! But I get so sad that Natalie isn't in every video like she used to be. I understand that the channel needs to grow, change, but its honestly too hard to accept Natalies absence from videos. I'm sure many viewers think the same. 💎💖

I don’t mind it at all. Natalie is great, but I’m ultimately here to learn about and see gems and minerals. I like being able to learn different things from everyone, stuff that Natalie might not know as much about.

I assume lab made gemstones and natural gemstones share the same charicteristics of Pleochroism. Do fake gemstones? Can this tool be used to tell if a gemstones is real or fake? Thank you
