Thank you for answering this, I really look forward to the full lesson on this! I'm also amazed you pronounced my last name properly! I have so many chris' in my family but none so lucky as to have been on tv sadly. Great video as always, packed full with info!

Please I have a few examples I had to get from several dealers around the world all are forms of quartz mainly rose quartz. Please do a video on biasterism I can't find one video so biasterism is when it shows asterism when it's backlit now rose quartz is the most common gem found because you can't see the rutile without a electron microscope and rose quartz is often cut into spheres so it is only when it is rounded then a light gets shined from behind that the biasterism is found. Please show examples of biasterism and talk about the phenomenon. Also I have been searching for a list of trichroic gemstones if you can do a video of complete list none of my references list them out they may have a few listed but I know others definitely not listed have been trying to make a list but it's not easy for me to do so. Thank you

Hello! I have a question - can there be such a topic as "crystals in pegmatite rocks" discussed? Especially garnet for example.

[@roccistuccijr.3545]

I have a question for you. I am not sure if you "dabble" in this realm, but how would "spiritual/metaphysical" crystals be graded in comparison to natural gems? How do business determine value of a gem? Let's say one "professional" gem business is selling a quartz cluster, and another "spiritual/metaphysical" business sells a cluster that's about relatively the same size, weight, carats, etc. Do they get valued the same? What contingencies are there for these products? And who is grading them? I'd love to hear a video breakdown on this all, but a comment is great too. Thank you!
