In this video, I enter the RusGems production facility to witness how hydrothermal emeralds are made. Olga Tanskaia from RusGems explains the entire process and shows us some of the different types of created emeralds that they produce.
Thanks to RusGems for the sponsorship and support on this video.

A VERY IMPRESSIVE FACILITY'S! I have a few questions. First, why do you work with low quality emerald rough as your dissolving zone source material? If I was looking to maintain precise control over my final product, I don't think I would take chances with rough material that is possibly contaminated with who-knows-what. It is understandable that you don't want to work with toxic pure chemicals like beryllium, however, couldn't you use some of your poor quality first generation crystals, and then tweak the chromium/vanadium impurities to produce higher quality crystals with more desirable saturation. Have you ever tried disolving the very small, but beautifully colored emeraldsfrom Afghanistan? The color of that material is as nice or nicer than Columbian material. Do you experiment with your seed material? I would imagine putting some experimental effort into the seeds and refining your seed plates so that you don't have to cut them out would yield bigger thicker cut stones. Next question, what do you use for the lining of your autoclaves, and what mineralizing agent do you add to your water? Do you do big size red beryl? What do you use for source material? Thanks so much!

Indrid_Cold, all good questions. Platinum is the "cheapest" chamber lining to have plated on the inner surface of the lid, as well. The clear solution needs to be slightly acidic. Flaws make synthetic emeralds marketable. With no flaws they look like glass to the naked eye. When synthetic emeralds were first developed in Siberia, Soviet Union, they did not add a dye, but now all synthetic emeralds must have a UV light dye in them . . . however, by making emeralds with crushed emerald raw materials, maybe they think they don't need to add the dye since they might be considered "re-crystalized emeralds" rather than synthetic. Very good video, thanks for posting.

​@@JustinKPrim I think the question is, if the input stone is replicated in the "grown" stone, then why can't you just use the "grown" stone for future seeding? Is it the case that the imperfections in the seed have to be at a certain level and the grown stone has fewer imperfections so you have to start with seeds that have just the right amount of imperfections? At 4:40, the seed looks much darker than the grown part.
