Thank you! I have been try to find information on synthetic gemstones and Im so glad I came across your channel! Wish I could find more information about the world of cheap synthetic gemstones, especially nanos.
This was awesome! I'd love to see more videos on the production of different lab gems, seeing the difference between the types of emerald was fascinating.
Thanks for uploading this precious video. You opened my eyes. I was wondering like how it is possible for one to buy a natural emerald for 150 - 200 dollars in online platforms.
Actually most people find emeralds with eye visible inclusions more visually appealing than clean ones but not to the point that it is no longer transparent looking. The Colombian emerald here does look alot better than the Zambian emerald.
Yes! I want to buy some lab grown emeralds, but I'm having problems finding some with the right amount of inclusions. It just looks too dark and fake if it's perfect.
Used to operate equipment that grew truly synthetic emerald alexandrite and Cr4+ YAG. They were all used in lasers. The emeralds and alexandrite were grown in hydrothermal reactors the yag was grown using a flux.
Very nice video !!! may I ask what is the tapping noise and flame behind in the background? Is that a Flame Fusion furnace? If yes a video on the Flame Fusion process might also be an idea !!
Which flame do you mean? Flame fusion video would be great but for RUSGEMS, I think that factory is in russia. I don’t think they make flame fusion in Thailand but I could be wrong. Maybe someone else Does though ?
I dont know how to post a picture here. Right behind the lady at the center of the screen from "0.20 to "0.25 i thought the sparkle were a flame and with the tapping sound i assume it was a Flame fusion.

These look exactly like the coloured Quartz slabs I have. Even the surface 'etch' marks on the cultivated crystal slabs seen here in this video. Mine still have the central 'seed' slab inside them. But they are all Quartz.
Actualy , now it's times to change this metode , because technology Already passed to this metode process we don't need input berrylium or other materials liquid chemistry or heated all using from pure from emerald materials , the new tech of emerald purity gems
By general definition of "Synthetic" yes it is the same, but here the woman has a different terminology, that is, "synthetic" is made total of chemistry to create the crystal very fast (without growing it) usually by plasma heating (see Synthetic Ruby created from Microwave) that is done under an hour, while the elements that made this crystal are the same with the natural one, the pattern created will be polycrystalline (instead of one single crystal) which can easily be detected by gemstone experts using ordinary microscope. It is in contrast with "lab-grown" which is natural grown BUT occurred in controlled environment, analogically similar to growing real plant in hydroponic indoor environment (which still resulting in natural product but much cleaner than growing outdoor). Lab-grown crystal can be much harder to distinguish versus a high quality naturally mined one, sometimes it is even impossible. I personally agree with what the woman said, we need more definition to discern between this synthetic chemically-made gemstones versus synthetic lab-grown made gemstones.
I would disagree with that. Gemstones have been prized for beauty and adornment by humans for 200,000 years. Possibly longer. It’s the original art form, next to those ancient cave paintings. Gemcutting and gemstone adornment goes back to the beginning of our species and possibly helps define who we are as a species
@@JustinKPrim in these lab they're using origins of beryl columbian and zambian. Al though 10country+2type of synthetic (hydrothermal/flux) have their own refractive index and specific gravity colour and inclusion. In that case I would like to know if they're using more than 3seed origin maybe a seed of 10 origin combined together as a seed. The inclusion would born a new pattern and the colour would have change
A VERY IMPRESSIVE FACILITY'S! I have a few questions. First, why do you work with low quality emerald rough as your dissolving zone source material? If I was looking to maintain precise control over my final product, I don't think I would take chances with rough material that is possibly contaminated with who-knows-what. It is understandable that you don't want to work with toxic pure chemicals like beryllium, however, couldn't you use some of your poor quality first generation crystals, and then tweak the chromium/vanadium impurities to produce higher quality crystals with more desirable saturation. Have you ever tried disolving the very small, but beautifully colored emeraldsfrom Afghanistan? The color of that material is as nice or nicer than Columbian material. Do you experiment with your seed material? I would imagine putting some experimental effort into the seeds and refining your seed plates so that you don't have to cut them out would yield bigger thicker cut stones. Next question, what do you use for the lining of your autoclaves, and what mineralizing agent do you add to your water? Do you do big size red beryl? What do you use for source material? Thanks so much!
Indrid_Cold, all good questions. Platinum is the "cheapest" chamber lining to have plated on the inner surface of the lid, as well. The clear solution needs to be slightly acidic. Flaws make synthetic emeralds marketable. With no flaws they look like glass to the naked eye. When synthetic emeralds were first developed in Siberia, Soviet Union, they did not add a dye, but now all synthetic emeralds must have a UV light dye in them . . . however, by making emeralds with crushed emerald raw materials, maybe they think they don't need to add the dye since they might be considered "re-crystalized emeralds" rather than synthetic. Very good video, thanks for posting.
Lab grown gemstones feel creepy and disturbing to me. Natural gemstones have healing properties but I doubt synthetic ones have those metaphysical vibes.
Greetings ◇ Great to no !☆! I've got on my block a natural sapphires compositions rock matrix!@! They are light blue to just blue and white immature crystals!@!
Dear madam, thank you for sharing nice video. Actually we are also working on hydrothermal crystal growth. May I know what kind of autoclave are you using? May I have your contact details please?
I am curious as to why you do not simply use the pure forms of beryllium, silica, and chromium in your process? Better still, why not use synthetic crystals to produce highly pure and refined emerald crystals?
I don’t think they want them refined and pure. Without inclusions they don’t look convincing. I think they like the inclusions left by the manufacturing process because it emulates natural emerald inclusions.
@@JustinKPrim I think the question is, if the input stone is replicated in the "grown" stone, then why can't you just use the "grown" stone for future seeding? Is it the case that the imperfections in the seed have to be at a certain level and the grown stone has fewer imperfections so you have to start with seeds that have just the right amount of imperfections? At 4:40, the seed looks much darker than the grown part.
@@robertbrandywine I don't know why they can't use the grown stone as the seed. I think I'm going back there soon to shoot another video and if I can find the answer to this I will comment here later.
I've been to a lot of mines around the world and never seen anyone sending children into the mines. I think that's mostly a myth in the 21st century. I've never been to Emerald mines in South America though. My friends have though and I've never heard of anything like this happening in real life.

Lab grown gems are a great way to enjoy the beauty of rare gems for a tiny fraction of the cost of mined stones.
Not only that, you most likely won't be supporting child labour when buying synthetic gemstones.
Yes, "cost" of mined stones meaning human as well as financial.
What an incredible glimpse at the making of one of my favorite synthetic materials. Thanks for sharing it with the world, Justin.

How do we go about purchasing the rough product, right after its grown? I dont need it cut in half. I want the largest size possible

Wan you add a resist and grow shapes?
Just imagine all the jewelery that could be made. Fabulous:)
Can you reuse the seed slab that you cut out from the completed hydrothermal gem or do you have to throw it away?
I’m not exactly sure but I think they throw it away
Wouldn't the seed slab be one and fused with the new gem. As the new sticks to the slab
@@jacobwishinsky Did you see at 4:40 where the seed is still fused to the new gem? It looks different.

Chemically identical to mineral emerald without all the worker exploitation. I love this SO much.
i think they still need to get the base seeds from the ground I'm sure someone got exploited along the way, but damn is it cool lol
@@Hazmat2142 No ethical consumption under capitalism it seems.
They are literally made of natural emeralds they are just recrystlized
Emeralds are from nature. Humans are from nature. Humans are able to make emeralds in labs. I dunno where i'm going with this tbh 🙃
That was an excellent video.
They are beautiful and affordable.
These look exactly like the coloured Quartz slabs I have. Even the surface 'etch' marks on the cultivated crystal slabs seen here in this video. Mine still have the central 'seed' slab inside them. But they are all Quartz.
I’ve never seen hydrothermal quartz being grown but I assume it’s a similar process and a visually similar outcome!
Quartz is grown with same basic process, though usually in much larger autoclaves.
The in this process rough stone is required all the time

Can we break artificial emeralds and use them as seed again?
Yes
Are those emerald are fake ones or just made like a lab created emerald gemstones?
Both! They are made in a lab, which makes them the fake ones. I think I've answered that correctly.
@@JustinKPrim yes it is a fake now i know its just a replica or a copy but its better than nothing or its better than a glass bottle fake ones
Other then industrial use gemstones really are just expensive coloured glass beads.

They'll never answer those questions. Mainly because most of the lab grown gems are owned and operated by mobs and organized crime organizations.
