I have really came to love aquamarine over time, its uniform shape is just so pretty!

@rogerhargreaves2272 2 жыл бұрын

Always great to have a Geo location for your specimen, it really adds something special. I remember learning about Aquamarine, when in times past, Sailors used to toss their Aquamarines into the water to calm the tempestuous seas. Great production, thank you.

Im Vietnamese too and strangely enough, Id only known and collected the deep blue shades of aquamarine, all mined in Thanh Hoá. I didnt know aquamarine could be as pale as the Pakistan specimens. The Namibia one is actually closer in shade range to ours.

@kallepetterilampi5480 3 ай бұрын

@@minh-hangnguyen6099 Is dark blue aquamarine just "man made alteration" = heated more to form darker iron Fe color on stone ? Not natural ? Baked in oven heat more than regular ones 300-400*C causes light blue if higher temperature then darker blue forms ?

11:31 They're a bit lacking in basic chemistry knowledge. What on Earth did she mean when she said beryllium is heat resistant? It's an element. No element can be destroyed by heat unless you get it hot as the sun. How well a beryllium compound resists heat will depend on the compound, not any single component of it. And how beryllium compounds behave has no connection to to the behavior of elemental beryllium metal in steel alloys. In their defense, I have heard equally chemistry challenged remarks from many rockhounds at shows, so they're probably just repeating things they've heard.

Good question! We've had some close calls (particularly during this shoot: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icCKqdeouqu0lIk.html), but I don't think we've actually damaged anything during a shoot. We try to be really careful with our one-of-a-kind pieces, that's why we had Brittany there to help put the big pieces on stands for this video. Accidents do happen, however, so stay tuned.

So, i found what im fairly sure is a raw Aquamarine a couple years ago at a river, its a nearly clear blue, definitely harder than anything ive tested it against (tool steel, glass, and more) it seems to have the correct structure, although the outer surface is foggy and rounded, its about thumb sized… and similarly shaped, is there a good way to reliably have it tested to know about? I actually have a few gems of similar origin (beaches, rivers, random mountain cave while hiking… haha) but i dont super trust most stores near me exactly…

@kallepetterilampi5480 3 ай бұрын

Is the dark blue aquamarine ="Devil blue"( in China ) just heated a bit higher 1000*Celsius to burn iron Fe to darker color ? When all regular light blue aqumarine is heat treated only in 300-400*Celsius. Ocean green color non-heat-treated is impossible to find. All Beryl are heated to blue.
