Well, I’m an amateur… luckily I’m at home where I appear to be the … master beginner! About the only thing I get right is “both eyes open”, the loupe itself is a good one but old & I like the powerful cheepies since I’m no “pro-in-the-know”, I enjoy the amazing features seen within any polished gem, created over time, deep underground. Wearing expensive gems for status is like wearing cash & they look like glass or fancy glittery plastic to most of us anyway. A plain Ag/Au/Pt ring is my safer choice

It is best to use a jewelry loupe and definitely a Chelsea filter! Although, for example, Brazilian emeralds do not respond to the Chelsea filter.

great info can a refractometer be used for eaw stones

Only 200 dollars for this beautiful stone 😂😂

I have come across multiple large gemstones and would like to sell them but don't know how. For example I have a 224.70carat Emerald (Beryl) Round loose gemstone. Help.

Ooh this is one of the stones I want to use the spectroscope on!! ☺️

what is the stones in the picture you used? I'm wondering about the one with the dots..

What are your thoughts on loupes that have lights built in! Is it better to use a separate light?

Oooh I love rare items!! Eager to learn! 💗

This is the kind of ring i would want for an engagement ring. 😍💗❤💗

Dear Peter, I own a fake emerald which is one thin layer of emerald green epoxy resin that can be found on the table side and transparent epoxy resin on the culet side of the stone. It is in a sterling silver ring of mine. This is the new craze from China. You have to inspect the jewelry before buying it. Greetings and best wishes from Budapest Hungary.

Peter nelson you're awesome 😉😉

This is in my opinion is the most crucial factor when it comes to buying gemstones .. AND .. your most important fantabulous video to the Schmucks in the world!

Thank you. Interesting.

First of all, congratulations for the videos you make, they are very interesting. Please make a video about lighting for gemology, for which instrument, what lighting is used, how strong should it be, does it matter, and so on.

I bought a pair (big one with silver ring) and a smaller without ring. I bought it from Peshawar Pakistan and i paid for this star ruby pair for Pakistani rupees 613000 rupees

Price

can you please add some video or pictures that can see how different CZ n Zircon?

Can gems that are set in jewelry be tested on a refractometer? I want to be confident in the stones and jewelry that I sell so I would like to learn how to test them.

I wear prescription glasses how will this affect the use of a loupe?

What are the rarer colours of Spinel?

The fifth c of gems: cost.

Thank you for this very interesting article!

Great video - I realise an 'emerald' I just bought off fleabay has the heat cracking and dye dipping - looks nice but obviously not genuine 😢

Traducir texto con la cámara Is there a home way to know if aquamarines are real when they are not polished

Hey, how are you doing? I’m trying to reach you via Mail but there is no response. Is there a better way to contact you or somewhere you are more available?

I am going to get a faceting machine I'm looking in the $1000 range do you recommend one. I have emailed you and am following you on Instagram but it is not getting through Thanks

Was wondering where do you even get these gem packets yourself.

I think that stone is gorgeous in the ring.

Okay, question: there is a TON of gems out there that appear octagon but are referred to as emerald cut. Even GIA references emerald cut in a shape that appears octagon. Is there a difference there or is it just an octagon replaced with the term of emerald for common understanding?

In sri lanka we have best quality Alexandrite

You beard is grown like hagrid i saw your gemology playlist very helpful

Thank you for your videos I find them very educational and informative. but your email address dose not work it say not a valid address can you help with that?

I love your videos Peter, I am coming to Bangkok end of August for a course at AIGS, would love to buy you a coffee.

स्टार मानिक देखकर मुझे बहुत आनंद हुआ दिनेशराजपुरोहित

I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but I do think I have a couple of cats eye green nephrite beads - in a beads necklace which came with an original price $3850 and a Chinese certificate. (Of course, I didn't pay that much!) I can see they are genuine nephrite. Could it be really a valuable piece?

Tem vários tipos de berilo olho de gato e crisoberilo Brasil

Is it possible that aquamarine look like lavender/violet and grayish blue?

My favorite fire in gemstones 1. Moissanite 2. Titanite 3. Zircon 4. Sphalerite 5. Diamond

Do you have a video on how to wear those cheap chinese loupes with the metal headband? Mine didn't come with instructions & I don't want to look like a schmuck while wearing em. Thanks! 🙂

So would it just be a different oil to be able to get the RI reading for, say, diamond? If yes. Do you happen to know of what type of oil that would be? I do know that a diamond/ gem tester would likely be the go to for that type of thing but I am curious just for the sake of knowing.

Always informative and entertaining, thanks from all the schmucks

Thankbu for the video❤

My favorite is the round portuguese cut, the normal round brilliant cut isn't nearly as nice.

great choice of music

Hi guys, can anyone recommend me a good digital gem microscope? I want to take shots of the gems and upload them to my PC. Thank you and have a nice day everyone!

Great advice! How to decide for each stone what market to sell to? Collectors vs jewelers? What would you base your criteria on? Just market trends va individual taste or there is some sort of common sense?

While I love your content and would share you to the whole world, I'd rather gatekeep you and use you as a top grade resource for us hobbyists and traders; Liking and subbing is all I'm able to do without giving up the gift of having found you lmao

Where can I purchase real Chrysoberyl? I feel most of the beads and such online are fake
