Even as a British ex-pat, I still find Charles' accent, intonation and speech cadence entirely riveting and fully representative of advanced education, vast knowledge and experience, and disciplined commitment to gemology and teaching. It automatically made me sit up straight and pull my ears back into alignment with my shoulders. 👏👏👏
Oh I thought Charles was South African 🙈 his accent reminds me of my Auntie from Jo'berg

Charles is mad cool. He does a really good job playing off the new hostess. I love his sharp outfits.
Thank you for the informative video on how to use the gem tools. All I have is a loupe. I didn’t know that even with a loupe, I can discover more information other than just inclusions. I enjoyed this video.
There you are guys! I started to despair for a while. I just love your content and this episode is so helpful. Thank you for sharing guys!
We're happy to be back!
Yes please! More vids like this.
More Charles! He's an awesome teacher! Great video!
You two make a great team. G'day from Oz ;)
Fab video. I love to learn how to use the tools and approach narrowing down what a gemstone is. Very educational! ❤
Your videos are so incredibly helpful ❤🕊
It’s very easy to understand. Thank you guys for this wonderful video.
Very well explained, thank you!
Great demonstrations, more videos going through the ID process like this would be awesome. Maybe including a stereomicroscope with a darkfield condenser to show off inusions!
Absolutely loved this video. Learned so much.
Thanks for this video!!!
Awesome video, guys. Excellent demonstration of these tools.
this whole video is so fascinating
This was really cool and interesting!
Great video! ❤
Wonderful video! This is inspiring me to get out my tools and learn to use them. This makes it seem approachable.
My absolute favorite channel! Can you please do a video on zeolites? There's so many types!!!
Great information, thanks guys. 2x👍
Great video!!
Thanks!
Honestly, I would like to have a large faceted piece of that selenium glass, and I know that the point of the video was to show how the devices work, but I would have liked them to show how to recognize gems that did not have such marked optical properties, let's say a faceted quartz. aquamarine, very clear minerals with almost zero inclusions and zero optical properties but well in the end I really liked it
I would like to see a video about how microscopes are used in gem identification and cutting.
Nice, both tested just as they looked as a best initial identity.
Hi ,thanks
Do you guys sell the light pad? Can't find anything like it on the website

Haven't seen Rebecca for quite some time now. Is she all right?
Rebecca is great! She has a beautiful baby that is keeping her busy these days

First
1:29 Saying a green gem can't be a sapphire is not correct. I have a box of very green montana sapphires. I suppose the "only blue" is sapphire, argument can be used. As "only red" is a ruby. Being they're all Corundum,,, what should we call a pink, yellow, green or purple? If we want to sell them, (our goal afterall) what sounds better? Pink Corundum? Or pink Sapphire?
Too many terms in my opinion, are confusing. For instance,, the words mineral "Growth" and mineral "Formation", are many times used interchangeably. But in my mind, are vastly different. I can "Grow" a flower in a pot. But i must "Form" the pot.
Do Diamonds,, "Grow",,, 300 miles below the earths surface. Or were they "Formed"? (like a giant redwood being smashed to the size of a 1ct Diamond) I've yet to get this answered.
I love watching,❤, too much. It keeps me from my faceting machine.🫤 💎
Great video!
Thanks!
@@gems you are so welcome!
