Your telling me you send your gems across the country and get the SAME stone back?!!!!! Wow! That's hard to believe, but everyone isn't a thief I guess
How do you determine the pricing of a stone? I have seen for e.g. rough ruby's (18ct a number of stones) sell for like $30-$50 whereas a cut ruby sell in the hundreds? Im not a gem dealer by any stretch, my dad likes gems and im just curious at this point.
rough is not worth as much as cut and polished stones you cant even tell how good quality gems you can get from rough when buying online for all you know you get none could have cracks running throuh all of it and also the rough could be treated glass filled etc people that usually sell rough at cheap price know its no good there not stupid any good rough they would get cut and polished themself and make tons more cash you have to watch out cheap rough is obviously no good like i say these people know there trade
no offence but first one is not emerald doesnt even look like a green stone it looks colorless therefore its just beryl my friend colorless beryl not classed as emerald
Thank you for your videos! They are always informative. One question, why do you not use a Refractometer as part of your personal lab? I would like to see your recommendation for using Refractometer. Many thanks and best regards
It's not something the average enthusiast can use. Also, the overall theme of these videos is that no home test is sufficient, and a gemological report should always be used for expensive gems.
So I found a large green magnificent stone on a beach somewhere I pulled over in California. Everyone e started saying it could be jade. Is that possible? Fits in the palm of my hand
I found this video incredibly useless and frustrating. First of all. Gem stone A. Is NOT an emerald PERIOD. It’s absolutely a very light green beryl. By definition, an emerald is GREEN to bluish green due to the presence of chromium and iron (or vanadium) which gives it those stunning shades of green. Just like the presence of other minerals give its it’s counterparts aquamarine, morganite, goshenite, bixbit, heliodor and the various colors of beryl their colors. Goshenite and cheap light beryls are often used to make fake emeralds by dying it’s cracks and fissures, or simply by coating it, as it’s inclusions are nearly the same as an emerald. Not mentioned whatsoever. You didn’t bother to mention any of the things someone should be looking out for. Such as doublets, glass etc. Zero mention of a Chelsea filter which anyone who deals or collects emeralds has along side their loop. It was specifically invented to spot genuine emeralds. Anyone can pick one up from $39-100. Looking for inclusions in emeralds only works if you know what type of inclusions to look for. And you have no mention of emeralds beyond consumer grade, that have no inclusions, or so small you can’t spit them without a good loop. Lab grown emeralds also have no inclusions, and while they are not a natural earth mined emerald, they are still considered real emeralds. You should of clarified that lab created emeralds still can have a lot of value. The scratch test was a waste of time as was whatever that so called specific gravity test attempt was. You need a very particular type of scale to do a proper specific gravity test. I don’t know what the hell you were doing. There was also zero mention of a very simple at home test anybody can do to determine if a stone is real or not and it just blew my mind you did not even bring it up. Given that this video is four years old, I would suggest you take it down and remake it versus just sharing the one emerald you own. Beryl that is to light is considered beryl, it doesn’t matter how clear it is. And that stone falls short of even a low quality green beryl. Emeralds are green. Not clear, with super tiny hints of green. Consumer emeralds are all minded green, but they are not enhanced to enhance their color, but rather reduce the amount of visible inclusions by oiling. From what I can understand, you don’t even know what an enhanced emerald is. Because you said it as if your barrel could be treated and it would become greener. Not how it works. Calling a color emerald is a reference to green, not transparent. While yes most emeralds have inclusions, not all do. Synthetic emerald for example, have no inclusions and are still considered emeralds. Additionally, there are extremely rare and expensive emeralds free of inclusions. You using that as a blanket statement for all emeralds was poor wording. I hope grandma doesn’t bin her green emerald bracelet because she can’t see cracks or spots. This video just shows what a novice you actually are, hiding it behind fancy scribbles and math. You should not be sharing how to spot a real emerald yet. You should of planned this out better and actually prepared talking points. Another thing, a very simple test you could have done for example, that literally anybody can do from home was not even mentioned. The point of a UV light with emeralds isn’t to spot it’s florescence, but lack there of. However there are some that do glow a faint red, especially those from the Chivor region of Colombia. All I can say is, I really hope people didn’t run off and buy hundreds of dollars of fake emeralds from India off eBay thinking they know how to spot a real stone now. Seriously, delete this and remake it….

Ali thanks so much for such a useful video. As always kudos.
green beryl, emerald that could be hydro, and green tourmaline.
those are my instant guesses .
What about GIA India, is it affiliated with the real one?

“Because you just told me Fox Boy!”
You have a lot of good information in your but my dude sell one of those emeralds and buy a tripod

18 crt rough rubie good quality costs thousands$ and selling to you for 50$ probably are glass or synthetic
which lights test better ? 365 or 395 UV?
Get both. Very cheap on Ali Express/eBay.

So I found a large green magnificent stone on a beach somewhere I pulled over in California. Everyone e started saying it could be jade. Is that possible? Fits in the palm of my hand
in California? most likely a piece of glass beer bottle
@@naturalearthgems no. This is thick. Like a rock! I cant take pics w tablet. But idk... Like 3 big ice cubes stuck together
Izzy Barr natural jade is opaque, generally with dark line in it. If its glass looking ,its not . Take it to a jewlery for evaluation .
