That almandine garnet specimen was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! 🤩
I was thinking the same thing! I had no idea that they formed in dodecahedron shape. How cool!
Love Rebecca and Rob hosting together! Such a great eposode!
its so refreshing watching/listening to/learning from people who are so in love with their passion! i hope one day i can know this much about a topic. you should do yellow ones next 💛🥰
That garnet cluster looks like an alien power source. It's absolutely stunning!
Ok the Hairy Copper joke was actually good
The most interesting thing about red gemstones to me is that the words we translated as "ruby" in ancient documents are words that just mean "red thing" or "piece of red" in the original language. We have no idea if they were what we call rubies or not. In fact, until spectrographic methods came along to identify specific elements, the West didn't even realize there were at least two different things we were categorizing as rubies.
Loved this episode on the red colored specimens. 😊 Back in the 30's when my grandfather was a young man he was walking along the railroad tracks and picked up a black stone. Protruding from the stone was a dark red crystal with facets almost like a gemstone would have. As far as I know he never got it checked out but he always believed that it was a piece of coal with a garnet embedded in it. I don't know if that's right or wrong, but I have that stone now and whenever I look at it it reminds me of him and how he loved to tell the story of how he found it.
I love my rubies. Collected in the early 1980's. Pigeon blood star rubies. Also purple red star rubies.
Still waiting for the blue gemstones video. Maxixe, Kyanite, Blue Quartz, Blue Lace Agate, Lapis Lazuli, Azurite, Sapphire, Chrysocolla, Blue Calcite, and Blue Tiger's Eye.💙💙💙
BLUE tiger's eye??? Oh my god.
Another Great Job You Two awesome Learned some great pointers. I purchased a ring from from Ural mts area Kazakhstan I believe Was dug up by a rural family with detector. Was a small light silver setting with a shimmering red gem of 4.5 CT’s. I believe it to be possible Ruby from Silk Road era. And area. It’s stunning. With lots of 🔥 and beautiful round radiant like 👍 cut. It’s small weight. Looks like a 2 carat diamond size. It changes from pigeon blood 🩸 to darkest maroon. Paid 20$ US. Ring was damaged and appeared burnt at one time. Also a black tar like substance I scraped off. Wheels. Of Life Turning
Replying to own post. Sorry. Meant but looks like 2 carat 💎 but weighs 4.5 on jewelers scale
The garnet specimen is astounding! 😍😍😍
I’m in Missouri and I love finding lace agate druse quartz. Some pieces have red agate bands and sometimes even red quartz crystals! The reds are my favorites!
Loved this video so much for several reasons. One, that you chose to showcase many lesser known minerals, I even learned a couple of new ones which was fun! Two, Rob and Rebecca together is always a lot of fun! So much knowledge between them and their passion for gemology really shows! They make me want to learn more about geology and gemology but most importantly they, and your other videos for that matter, makes me appreciate my current mineral collection a lot more! And three, I laughed with you Rob when the spinel got stuck on the lid!! Love your personality!
Tugtupite needs to have a real showing maybe a whole episode about it it’s such a neat stone that and chrysoberyl
Sad I didn't see a couple of my favorites, bixbite, and Zincite. I have a deep red master cut zincite that's definitely one of my top red stones.
This videos live with a desk are so much better than the ones with chroma behind, even if its the same topic, its better, more real, more attention grabbing.
The garnets on the matrix is amazing
I live near a town were garnett and almadaine is in abundance .. absolutely beautiful 😍
Awwww no Bixbyite? Bummer, that one is a favorite of mine. But I get it, Beryl has a number of more well known and less rare variations. Seeing all these red gems makes me squee : D thanks for doing this session
can we talk about how awesome and cute they both are ?
Love the vids! I wish you guys had included red apatite, red beryl, red zircon. Maybe in a future episode. Keep up the good, informative work.
I have Australian red zircon. It has wonderful reflective qualities.
Also rubellite. What counts as red in most jewelry nowadays.
Thanks Rebecca & Rob, that was a pretty intense episode there. I must admit the Hematite got me caught off guard. I recognised the Rhodonite straight away from a previous episode Rebecca covered on the topic. I’ll have to agree with Rob on the favourite being the Rhodonite with the large Garnet specimen coming second. Great episode. ❤️ from Wales 🏴.
All of those red gemstones look very pretty.😀❤💎 I know about rudy, garnet and spinel but some of these red gems I never heard of and yet they're amazing.😯 It's very interesting to know the facts about each one of them and where they're come from.🤔 It's also July's and my younger nephew's🥳🧒🎂 birthstone too. Thanks for teaching us about them.👨🏫👩🏫 Nice video and see you later.🙂👍💎
Thanks. It was a great show and i learned a lot and saw some amazing gems. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Awesome show! Love red Gemstones! ❤❤❤❤❤
I have a decent amount of Clinohumite, couldn't figure it out till now. Super deep red it's almost black.
Red beryl is my favorite!
Truly red gemstones are quite rare. Most of the "red" stones are in fact pinkish, orangish or brownish. Look at "red jadeite" and "red aventurine" specimens. In many cases they are literally orange.
Your guy's channel just keeps growing love it i could watch you every day
I was not ready for that “are you ready!!” Made me jump haha
You didn't mention red diamonds. I love all the stones!
Painite would of been a great addition as well, it was considered the worlds rarest gemstone for a while lol
Thanks for the episode guys. Crocoite is also found in western tasmania in Australia 🇦🇺. I have many specimens from the various mines in Dundas, Tasmania.
I’m loving the Vanadinite.
i chanced upon your channel, I'm glad I did... you folks are quite knowledgeable!
Weird coincidences. I recently found a garnet in quartz at my cabin in Idaho. Then found out there’s a rock shop in said rando mountain town and purchased a hemimorphite there despite never having heard of it until that day. Now you’re talking about all the currently relevant minerals in your new video because…. Synchronicities
Thanks Rebecca n Rob.
Its a nice episode...and I love it and I wish and wait next episode about others precious stone...most I love garnet''
Can you predict what crystals there's will be like isotopes.
One of the best episodes!🤩
Yay! Always excited for new content!! Love it.
Have you all featured etched spessartine garnets yet? They're really interesting mineral specimens.
Really liking the color episodes. Any chance on a teal episode featuring indicolite, zircon, topaz, sapphire, etc?
I'm super picky about my red gems for some reason; it's difficult to find a "true" red that isn't orangey, pinkish, or purplish!
Now you’ve got me cross referencing every red with glaze recipes or pottery as I am both 80 professional Potter and amateur Gemhound. Now I’m going to have to get my daughter to drive me and my great granddaughter down to the Smithsonian for a gem day.
Is a longwave UV light still good for an amateur mineral collector? I don't have the money for a shortwave light, but longwave lights are easy to come by
As far as the red gem specimens go, one can hardly go past the lovely red spessartine garnets on gemmy red rhodonite with galena that was mined in Broken Hill, Australia.
A close second in my mind would be some of the gorgeous ruby and spinel covered painites from the Mogok stone track in Burma
The ruby/spinel coated painites really look quite stunning under UV light as well.
Are the the jewels that are used in watchmaking or is it all synthetic now?
Rohdonite is mistaken for rubies but the rubys are 9 in mohs and sapphire
I've been waiting for your red video!!!!
Great video guys
I love y'all and your vids! Thank you! ❤️👍👍
I am sad to have not seen any Rhodochrosite. My favorite of the red crystals with Ruby being second. Also why did Rebecca not mention the awesome jewelry she was wearing?
Check out the links in the description for more info on the jewelry we were wearing!
May I ask which is the gem on your necklace? It's pretty shinning and the contrast with the gold makes it very beautiful and easy to notice.
Thank you! It's a lab created ruby - here's a link to it! www.jtv.com/product/red-lab-created-ruby-18k-yellow-gold-over-silver-pendant-with-chain-20-58ctw/GYH118
@@gems Ty ^^ and when taken a closer look, it is way more impressive. It won't take too long for me getting one of these. ^_^
Awesome work! Love the Channel!
I got lots of vanadium like that too but their stuck to feldspare here in TEXAS
When Dad was in the Korean conflict he picked up rubies and Opals for mom's engagement ring. It was beautiful.
I watch this and the garnet episode because of the unique and unbelievable garnet specimens 😮❤😊!!!!!!!! Just out of this world !!!!! Im a July baby. Blue is my personal favorite color but im like bro here !!!! I prefer garnet over ruby as well!!!!!
Spinels can also be round like rock cause rolling in a river
Thanks for the great videos you provide! Quick question/Suggestion, would it be possible to give us some pointers on wholesale prices every time you make a video? For example, should I be paying $50 per carat on a 2ct vivid pink tourmaline or $500 per carat? stuff like that. Thanks!
Thank you. This video is very informative
I got GARNET Too and they can be round like a rock due to rolling in rivers so their not always cubed yupp 7 in hardness
Learned alot. Thank you both. It is always a pleasure watching the two of you. Would love to know the name of stone in the necklace. Thank u
What was the matrix of the clinohumite? The second specimen. I see the clinochlorite there but I was wondering the host rock

I think a bull is gonna go BONKERS upon seeing this colour! XD
Love your videos and I always learn something new from you guys, but how about cleaning the gems before the closeups? Quite often I can literally see your fingerprints 😅 this resolution is unforgiven
I have been watching gem videos more than 6+ years ago.. because I'm a frustrated geologist and gemologist wanna be 😇😅. I memorized the world map since as a teenager 🤣.
Can you do a video on Kornerupine?
Peridot is currently at $22.00 per gram.
I like that spinel. It doesn't seem to have pink in it.
I thought my hematite wa rust 😅 thanks for the knowledge
" imagine pulling that out of the ground "
"...mnoo. "
Kept waiting for bixbite to appear
My engagement ring is a natural red-orange spinel
What mknerals is rebeca wearing for her pendant, ring and bracelet?
Her pendant is lab created. She gives a link in the comments
A transparent dark red stone. Its density is 4.095. Is it considered ruby???? Weight 5.5 grams
Rebecca is so sweet and sassy 💗
Have some ural quartz size of a potato. Totally clear. I want to get it carved. It was a crystal skull that broke but the cranium is intact
Pigeon blood in TEXAS AS WELL i can dig and find them all day long no problem

Ok, my clinohumite is bright orange and from Tajikistan.
I picked up a rock in south central Utah what has a vein of red crystal running through it. If I sent a photo of it would you be able to ID it for me? DR

If I had some gemstons to sell who would be best recommend

Did you know that the Germans and the Austria jewellers used to be Tanzania was a German colony before the end of the 1914 to 1918 war. They found blue stones, some large they knew it wasn't sapphires and it was Zoiaite blue back in the latter part of the nineteenth century they put these stones in jewellery from 1880's to the middle of the 1950's until they run out of Tanzanite which was rediscovered in 1967 ish and then sold to Tiffany's who then claimed that had a new found stone and it new to the market allegedly. But unlike history allegedly it bites you in the arse. Check out the Judith's Millar books on all kinds of antiques. I own a 5.45 carat Ruby from the mine of mines mont prez the famous island mine off the coast of africa pigeon blood red which the leading ruby buyer has left Burma and Thailand for the africa island and is snapping up ruby-red has good as Burmese Ruby pigeon blood red stones, when I first bought mine they were $450 to £550 a carat the last price I saw on them was $8,900 on these Rubies a carat . 50c a carat don't ask me about the 50 cent but I paid in €1,700 for 6 stones each that's in Euros this was just before lock down back in early 2020 and I managed to get to 1.5 carats of Bixbite or red beryl for a reduced price of £ 125.00 sterling only because they wanted foreign currency because on the blackmarket pay better. And how much they get rapped off by their own banks who also want foreign currency to buy better food buy fuel and pay for some of their children to go to school or after school classes to pay teachers . 4 Weeks before lock down I was in a bad way, my case got lost and stolen hand luggage as well. I had only shoes and clothes in them razors and toothbrush and toothpaste aftershave and deodorant. Then picked up these items on the cheap and made my way home. And had to explain who I was and what I did abroad plus explained why I was away for so long. I had to show them some of the items, I brought back with me and how I bought them with cash and card. and they were miffed by my lack of care. It's a 8 or 9 point pink diamond loose , a 15 point red diamond in a silver ring and also a loose red diamond about 10 to 11 points plus my favourite a 16 point blue diamond and a 8 point green diamond ring in silver. I bought a parcel of diamonds small stone mostly some over and under 20 points and with other stones, sapphires, emeralds, iolites, a garnet or 3 and kyanite. Then just got home put the TV on gemporia channel a jewellery show and bought two bags of mixed loose stones and got another pink diamond and a red diamond and 7 other diamonds for £40.00 each for 2 bags and I valued one of them, I think, they come to £3,000 or less all between 4 points and 12 points diamonds on 7 diamonds I got Si 1 to VS 2. I buy stones at 25 points diamonds for £450 to £600 and very good quality very few inclusions almost none with some a x10 or a x30 loops does the thick of a cheap microscope under £20.00 . That was my November 2019 to 4th January 2020. Not left the country since only thing I missed is the hot nights and the sound of the jungle in the distant you get animals sounding like humans and you could swear they said, these things say, "have a nut" or "you here"and "ha e hoop ha e hoop e hoop " "oooh haha hehe he" then "whoooo whoo whoo wup" don't miss the fly's or the things that move at one hundred miles an hour then you hear crunch crunch crunch as a lizard starts to eat cock roaches or something lands on your mosquito net and starts buzzing and the lizards jump on you, well the net and rats big arse rat's, that they train to kill other things and trained to get fruit and nuts out of the top most branches of trees. I thought they used monkey's for this plus other things that go bump in the night. Love mum
Rebecca 🌷
