Love emeralds so much! Such a beautiful stone! That vibrant green makes it a for-sure, favorite of mine. The clarity and the color of the emeralds he showed, are exceptional beauties! I love the way that emeralds can be cabbed or faceted! And to facet them to enhance the color or the light play, is awesome! A sure fire way to make every stone, the best it can be! Amazing! And I think it's so awesome that he is giving back to Colombia, for all the years of success he enjoyed because of their emeralds. That is a truly great man and guest! Thank you for this lovely look at emeralds! 💚
So I was watching and at first a formed a wrong opinion. I was like look at this dude showing off his ring and stuff then I really got to thinking. 40 successful years in a business where you get to handle some of the worlds most beautiful and valuable gemstones and you get paid for that!! That’s freakin amazing. With that success you get to own your own beautiful pieces. I’d show off that ring too like “yup…who’s the man now!!”
I’ve been so very lucky to recently have acquired a small Emerald Cut Colombian Emerald from the Cunas mine, so these are just stunning for me to see since I have one myself. I never appreciated Emeralds much for a very long time. Now that I own one, I can truly see their beauty. I think I didn’t appreciate them because I’m not much of a fan of the colour green, but emeralds truly do shine from within and have the most beautiful colour green to them. Another great videos you guys! 💚💚💚
it was really insightful! I'm about to start work in emerald from Pakistan and this video couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for showing the emeralds in their unmined calcite veins in the shale host rock. Next time I see a hillside that's black and clear of debris, I'll know to hammer and/or chisel away at any calcite veining that I see. I always enjoy the geological aspects of the host rocks as much as the gemological significance. Also, what type of UV light is that and does it require protective eyewear?
I love emeralds so much! But I personally would go for silver, platinum or white gold for cap on the crystals. ;) As a book series I enjoyed once would say, I'm a moon child rather than a sun child. Cool toned metals are best for me.
I've seen some recent ads (Aug '24) for emeralds...the danger of importing anything from India, is that one is likely to wind-up with some/many counterfeits. Russian manufacturers are making a synthetic that is VERY convincing: they go so far as to create it with internal fracturing (which can actually be a bit aesthetically pleasing - which is the exact opposite of what happens naturally). Ideal, deep, vibrant coloring with an eerily uniform pattern to the fracturing (from stone-to-stone), combined with a complete absence of any foreign-matter inclusions are indicative of this material. The reason genuine emeralds are so very expensive is that top-notch examples are exceedingly rare... the availability of sooo many at the same time is just not "normal". Possible? Sure...I'd guess about the same odds as winning the powerball (1 in ~300 million).
The fun part is that I can find these stones myself and adore what nature made over the years. The inclusions, cloudiness etc. makes these stones unique and tell a different story. Synthetics are... synthetics. Theres nothing special about them. I always say that I would prefer to buy an original Mona Lisa painting instead of mere copy.
@@danieljakistam9409I completely agree lab grown is pointless and a waste. The inclusions make the stone unique and beautiful I don’t understand how anyone could want lab grown anything
i’m super fascinated in gemstones colored by chromium. i’m wondering though; are there any gemstones with chromium in their composition? not as a coloring agent
Great question! It's pretty rare to find but it can happen. Crocoite is a very fragile mineral, but it can be polished into a gem as we showed here: th-cam.com/video/fZ08ljIxrvs/w-d-xo.html. Kosmochlor is another mineral with chromium in its base chemical formula. You may see it mixed in with jade or used as a jade simulant. Also, Uvarovite is a chromium bearing member of the garnet group. Its use as a gemstone is also rare, but you may come across it.
This is funny just came here from Matpat’s video from SIX YEARS AGO and watched the Minecraft emerald and video and the newest video is about emeralds lol i find this very funny and i might start a week thing saying something I don’t know maybe flapjack im a little hungry

Panshir, Afghanistan has good ones too…not sure if there’s anything coming from there now since that was the last resistance before the Taliban completely took over and I doubt they were kind.
I love how passionate mr Ringsrud is. I really enjoy learning from him.

You are using comars wrong
@@Voting-does-nothing and you are spelling comma wrong. What do they say about people in glass houses throwing stones?
I love that the editing reflects the nuances of the characters of the guests.
I trust this channel’s respectful and subtle judgments.
I too enjoyed today’s presentation of Beautiful Emeralds. Thank you Mr. Ringswald for sharing your heart with us.
That lighting must have been spot on. I’ve never been able to get emerald to photograph well.
Emerald cabs are my current obsession, and I can't get enough of sugarloaves!
Norwegian emerals also glow red in uv.
so does tsavorite

Emeralds are such a beautiful stone 😻 Thank you for the wonderful vid!
Faceted emerald is definitely on my wishlist

The Muzo mines have some beutiful gem rough, but personally I love emeralds from Afghanistan. Great guest. Thank you 2x👍
As a clarity snob, those 3 Cunas stones were gorgeous. Thanks for the UV tip.
The first three emeralds are my favorites💯👌💯
Btw, is Mr. Ringsrud related to Norway, the farm Ringsrud?
And thank you for sharing!!
My favorite gemstone.
I never knew about the colour change fluorescence! That was awesome! ❤ I love green stones! The book looks amazing!

We were using long wave UV. It doesn’t require protective eyewear, but you should always take precautions when using short wave UV
Thanks,I enjoyed seeing this! Beautiful emeralds!

I have that book!
Very interesting! Maybe he can come back with more stories?
we'd love it!
Fun! I'm wearing my emerald today. It has so much jardin you'd need a weed eater 😄 but it's green and I love it.
Where’s the give away information ?😊 thank you for sharing ❤

Great admin!
Emeralds are very opulent. The gem 💎 of kings
I wish you guys could open the competitions to other countries though! We’re missing out on some mind blowing opportunities 😢
We really wish we could! It has been requested multiple times
What emeralds are best? That's easy: synthetic. Natural emeralds are occluded, cloudy, and overall junky in appearance. Lab-grown is so much better.
The fun part is that I can find these stones myself and adore what nature made over the years. The inclusions, cloudiness etc. makes these stones unique and tell a different story. Synthetics are... synthetics. Theres nothing special about them. I always say that I would prefer to buy an original Mona Lisa painting instead of mere copy.
Synthetic doesn't even come close to mimicking the natural emerald beauty. Emerald is one of the easiest stones to spot a 'fake'.
@@danieljakistam9409I completely agree lab grown is pointless and a waste. The inclusions make the stone unique and beautiful I don’t understand how anyone could want lab grown anything
@@AbuGrave365 Tastes differ, apparently. I notice that clarity still counts for a lot in all gems, as does purity.
@@DuncanL7979 Synthetic is not 'fake' any more than aspirin is 'fake willow root.' It's the same material in purified form.
Wonderful book
So pretty!
I still remember when I subscribed to this channel cause Game Theory (I'm pretty sure) recommended this channel
I love emeralds!
I didnt know they were hexagon crystals, very interesting

wow and zamzam water
Love these vids!
How do you tell the difference between natural, lab-grown and "fake"?
That’s a big topic. Maybe we should do a video on it?
I have 600lbs of raw Brazilian emerald what can I do with them
Beastly
❤Emerals 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Gems - we chatted recently - wanted to reach out for a sponsorship opportunity, but wasn't sure how to contact you.

I would like in french if possible
Why do emeralds always look so cloudy?
Natural inclusions, it's very very very rare to have eye clean or better emeralds due to how they 'grow'
Has Rebecca left the show?
She's had a baby and has been busy with family. But she keeps in touch and we hope she might be back on the channel one day.
I would sell my Costco certificate ring in white gold and keep my Columbia and Africa in silver. After seen natural mining one lab created is nothing😢
I have some gemstone here with me . 3:09

This woman is exquisitely beautiful. The emeralds are nice. But, i like less blue emeralds, more Zambian colors.
Me too..Zambian Emeralds are the best Greens in my opinion.
Panshir, Afghanistan has good ones too…not sure if there’s anything coming from there now since that was the last resistance before the Taliban completely took over and I doubt they were kind.
This brunette host is so damn hot!!❤
Get a new nail tech, gf! 😉
The dark green one is the best 🤣🤣🤣🤣
