Dillon tells the different types of imitation Turquoise bead, different levels of Turquoise beads, and different grades of Turquoise beads.
Hey Dillon! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this, sure appreciate that. Have a good one. :^)
This was the best description I have seen. You showed very simple things to look for when purchasing turquiose. It helped me tremendously and was a great starter for collectors. Thank you
Thanks, Dillon! You have enhanced my knowledge, understanding and appreciation for turquoise on many levels! I'm going to go look at your company's website now :)
Great job Dillion! Well balanced and very educational. Thank you.
Thank you for the honest review and opinions. We have the stabilized kingman beaded necklaces and I agree that the quality is decent and suitable to wear as a fashion piece.
Hey Dillon! Thank you for all your work and help identifying my turquoise!
Thank you so much for this super informative vid Dillon !
Thank you so much for explaining the difference between real turquoise and fake ,block or stick chalk turquoise. You explain it so well that even I can make sense of the different types of turqoise. HAHO Janice
informing video here. I just bought a turquoise necklace that I was told was turquoise and I bought it at one of the shops in Santa Barbara owned by a person from India. The store did have some real gemstones in there and a lot of the things in the store was nice looking, however, the turquoise necklace I bought was huge stones that looked similar to rocks as the video host is telling here. The store also was having a 50% off deal the guy was talking about.
Thank you for this video. There are way too many gem sellers trying to scam people out there today. And it's not just with turquoise it's with other gems such as jade or sugelite etc... And what really pisses me off ,is how the sellers will mislead buyers by labeling their product "Turquoise jewelry" while turquoise is only the color of the stone they're selling which is probably dyed howlite or chalk etc.. and not the actual genuine stone that is Turquoise! It pays to know what to look for.
Great video. Thank you very much.
Thanks, best video that I have seen so far.
Thank you dylyn that was very helpful.
Thank you! I love turquoise and I'm glad you showed what's fake. It's hard to distinguish between real and fake.
I did not mind you dirty nails, they are hard working hands. Great information!!!
Thanks! I live in New Mexico and turquoise jewelry is everywhere. Was thinking of investing in some, but want to know what I'm doing before spending a dime.
I always appreciate your knowledge.
Thank you so much for the informative video.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
hi. Are there any test I could do to find out if what I am getting is indeed real or fake? Where I live Michaels beads suck. And the other bead store closed. So Online is my only choice here because I don't drive and can't travel. So I need to at least be able to determine if its the real deal or a faux ?
how to crystallize in Chalcedon stone chryssocola from bacan in indonesia.. thanks regards
Thanks!
Do not buy beads from ebay you will get taken by most sellers unless they have a brick and mortar business or their own website as we do. We do have several already strung natural Turquoise bead necklaces and stabilized Turquoise bead necklaces on our website just google Durango Silver Company
I know fake beads self taught, but I usually get those for personal use , would never try to scam anyone I'm afraid my dad would get out of his grave and beat me, you know the drill three warnings then 🔥
I should not talk bad about any dealer. Having said that I have studied all my competitions offerings. None that I received were indeed natural. They were stabilized with a resin. The only place I know of that you can buy real Turquoise beads for a deal is at Colbaugh Processing and Fire Mountain Gems... I would not recommend anyone else There are other high end dealers with better material, but the price is much higher
The Flaws | Matrix are my favorite stones. This was fantastic. I have strands of ‘turquoise’ I have been hoarding since 2006. I have some very big, I call Robin egg *based on size/shape turquoise chunks I have not been able to find since 2010-I think from China. I was thinking about selling everything but have held onto my collections because I want my strands evaluated by a professional.
This was very awesome and helpful! Thank you!
Thanks so much for your information. Embarrassed to say, but I’ve been duped. I figured if I buy by the gram the turquoise must be a natural stone.😬. I think I may have a collection of very expensive unnatural turquoise. 🙁😞 I thought I was better educated but I am also just too trusting. Expensive lesson. Thanks again. Hope you make more videos to help the gullible. 😳
Ware are the Bisbee beads?
Great videos! Thank you showing us the real thing....💖
Hi can you show some mens turqouise bead necklaces?
Great video so much information about turquoise
Hi Dillon, can you tell me the best place to buy rough turquoise please?
I had no idea!! I only have a couple of pendants but who knows what they are then! I think the safest way for me is to find a good source rather than spontaneous purchases ... theres so much out there and I'm not sure the sellers in my local shops would know if what they have is real or other! Thanks for the info!🌼
Thanks for the info, can you see the resin with a loop? I need to buy one anyway.
Hello, thanks for the compliment. Yes, you can see resin with a loop. Sometimes you can see it with the naked eye even.
Hard to get a feel for a stone that's already mounted.
Great information like your video
Thanks for all the information, I'm sure I've bought many fake ones😮
Hi I bought a string of beads several years ago from an antique District. They were round,, I really didn't ask any questions.. I didn't know any better at the time. I had no idea some was fake. I thought there were different grades. These beads overtime changed color. they got lighter and lighter, but around the string area on each end is stay the same color. Please tell me about this type of bead. is it fake or what? I did Smash one and it was white inside. I'm assuming it's howlite? don't think I spelled that right... Anyway could you let me know before I throw them away. Thank you,, your show was very informative. Ev Chappell
ev chappell sounds fake turquoise does not change color. Real stones can last for decades
Good question huh,... I am making some, but they are so rare and valuable, I am taking my time... I don't want to lie... I am making them for family
so if it feels like a rock its fake? This was very confusing............
I have a very old choker of greenish beads. I should have it appraised.
I miss Durango, go have breakfast at the Durango Diner for me. Some of the best green chili ever.
Good information 😅
I thought all turquoise was stabilized when it hits the retail market. Hmm.
Turquoise means Turkish stone and it's everywhere but the best are in certain areas, don't get it wet.
Just from the get go, the 50% off deal sounds bad to me. Real gemstone jewelry and beads are expensive, even if the stones have been stabilized or enhanced. Most of the entry level and foreign dealers sell Howlite or cement, not to fake you out, but that is all they have access too at the price they are willing to pay. Also they do not have the knowledge to deal in natural gems. Most of these dealers try to conduct business geared towards the lowest price point. NOT TRUE FOR ALL.
Although helpful but he failed to mention that most raw real turquoise can have bits of metal or quartz in it.
Thank you Alex. Sorry we did not mention that. I was not planning to do a full dissertation about the different types of matrix here in this video. That is a good idea for another video.
If you have to take a dimmel tool to it after washing all the dirt off, it's probably real tourquoise
howlite is junk stone, magnesite is turquoise without color. i hubei that has been dyed, sort of imitation. but most hard turquoise is gone or still in the ground.
Dawn,
Howlite is junk if it is being sold as Turquoise. Natural white howlite is a gemstone of it's own. It is not expensive, but it is pretty when sold for what it is, the same goes for magnesite like Wild Horse. Your statements are not correct. There is plenty of good REAL turquoise coming out of mines right now, both stabilized, and natural. Go checkout Colbaugh.net, or sterlingopalturquoise, sunwestsilver.com, and there are many more miners out there
Thanks a lot good information Michelle W/ AUMi Jewels

@@aquamatch have you ever went to peru? I use to have roughly rocks all natural we do have a lot do some research yourself
Why do people not clean their finger nails
Hello Dillion @aumi.jewels
very informative thankyou. shame about your dirty nails though.
Chris Caine You ungrateful bitch.
Very rude! considering the valuable information he was willing to share with us. When you say ugle words about someone, it will be done to you twice as much. Karma!
There are people who do actually work with their hands and, guess what?, they get dirty. If, perhaps he was a “hand model” then, yes, there would be concern about his manicure. But, he is not a model, he is a hard core worker providing the public with information regarding real vs fake stones. You don’t like? Change the fkng channel!
The man is a silversmith so he makes silver jewelry which makes his nails and fingers a little black no big deal
@@stangarellabullitt6112 It was "dirty nails" (aka not a hand model) that showed me to marry the right man! LOL I knew from his hands that he was not afraid to work hard.
ur fingernails!
90 percent of ALL turquoise is stabilized.
