Nice information from some lovely ladies without all the over-animated gesticulating or other annoying behaviors seen on other channels like Gemstones. Keep it up!
That was a great video and I'm hoping for part 2 with the rest of the beryl family. Emeralds are beautiful, especially the ones that are not milky, even if the shade is considered too light or too bluish. My only problem with them is that they are hard if you're on a budget. What I mean is, with something like, let's say, sapphire, it's usually not a problem to buy a lower graded, cheaper stone that still looks very nice. Lower graded emeralds on the other hand will often look like rubble🙁
How did you leave out the King!?!? RED BERYL?? BIXBITE?RED EMERALD??(not an accurate name but yes I know many use it for red beryl) I was soooo disappointed when I realized you didn't mention red beryl at all!😞 One of the rarest gemstone/mineral in the world and is absolutely stunning. I do want to say besides this I genuinely loved the video lots of great points, beautiful stones, good market tips, and very entertaining! Much love✋🏾
I wish there was visual example on the oil treatment and the processing and the different types of how much oil is used for each stone. I have a very large emerald pendant that's raw but still very green and high-quality the seller told me it didn't go through any oil treatment.
A large, high quality, UNTREATED emerald is worth multiple thousands of dollars per carat. They can go for hundreds of thousands of dollars per carat depending on quality. It is very unlikely that your stone is untreated. You need to get it analyses by GRS or AGL gem laboratories to know if it is treated or not.
Being an Australian I may be a little biased, but, i really do like some of the colour zoned emeralds from Torrington - New South Wales They exhibit razor sharp horizontal colour banding perpendicular to the optic axis, vivid green bands separated by colourless/near-colourless zones, these specimens are often highly lustrous and occasionally doubly terminated. I personally wouldn't dream of cutting them myself, although, i have seen a couple of faceted stones from this location over the years and i must admit, as faceted stones they do have an unusual appeal to them. Lacking the typical uniformly saturated appearance that emeralds are often prized for; they tend to be more popular amongst mineral collectors than jewellers. Having said all that, emeralds from Poona in Western Australia are quite nice also, albeit rather expensive 🙂
I see many videos talking about tone and qualities of Colombian x Brazilian emeralds. but the truth is that here in Carnaiba the mines have different mineral formations. It can appear in several different matrices and with different emerald qualities. they can appear in the matrix of white quartz, green quartz, schist, biotitetaxist, biotite, schist... or in any of these combined minerals. Due to the diversity of chemical components, we have diversity in the quality of color and brightness of the beryls. Emeralds can present a whole palette of colors within green. yellow, milky green to deep green, bluish green, or totally blue (aquamarine), in addition to finding alexandrites of good gemological quality, green/wine and with 7 colors inside
It may be true that Colombia has the greatest variety of high quality emerald specimens, but Zambia has emeralds of equal quality in the bluish-green range. Also Ethiopian emeralds have a unique vibrance that can be difficult to match or find an equivalent, even among the deep variety of Colombian emeralds.
I just gave a gf a vintage emerald pendant that was given to me as a thanks for cooking by a rich old lady. My gf has done more in the last week to investigate its origin and value than I ever did in years. It’s almost certainly worth 350-1,000 usd. I think 500, she thinks closer to 1,000, which I still think is possible because it’s deep green and clear, not cloudy. I still have no great idea. I know a professional will usually appraise on the low side because they want to buy low sell high. There must be a way to get a fair appraisal, though. Anyway, cool vid.
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to reply, however I went through all the vidoes posted in the channel and could not find it ! Can you please give a link or the name of the video. Thank you 🌷 💗
here we also find milky (white) or totally transparent beryls in hexagonal shape. Much is said about iron, vanadium and chromum but so far I haven't seen anyone explain why here in Carnaina there is a very nice association between molybdenum and emeralds. if you can help me in this matter
Thanks for the Video very informative I'm planning to start Buying and selling Gemstones Because we have Emeralds in My Country as other Gemstones But my Knowledge is Zero i need some knowledge before starting buying Like How much should be my Maximum Price buying Emeralds i mean Rough Stones Is there any way you can Help me ? Or anyway i can Talk with you ? I need someone with Knowledge
This is fascinating. My question is: can you grow an emerald in the same manner as a lab grown diamond as opposed to created which is entirely synthetic? Apologies if not clear, I am not very knowledgeable in this field. Thank you.
The controversy continues. One man's emerald is another man's green beryl. The trace element that causes the color should be the deciding factor. Green beryl is colored by iron. Chromium and vanadium colored beryl should be called Emerald. Let there be consensus just like Paraiba- type tourmaline that had controversy initially concerning origin.
I have to ask do you think Columbian emeralds are much better than Zambian emeralds? I have seen a Columbian Emerald at just under three carats for 400,000 and I saw a zombie an emerald at 3.4 carat for $450,000. To be honest, I thought the Zambian one look a little bit better. I’ve always thought Columbia were the best but the Zambian when I saw it was by far the most beautiful emerald I’ve ever seen. What is your thought on this?
You can find exquisite emeralds from either regions, it's just that Columbian are known for producing higher quality and have a reputation that adds value. I would look at each stone individually:)

Yes we will do a video on beryls! :)
Yes it's true finding good quality emerald and rubies starts at a much higher bracket then sapphires
Amazing video. Great presentation style.
Thank you 😊
Emerald is my favorite 😍
Right! It's such a beautiful stone!

Oh no sorry! Maybe at some point, we usually try to do videos on the stones we get the most requests. But soon we could do it!

Best gemstone is from Minas Gerais in Brazil, Carnaíba stones are not very good but they have some nice ones

Not an appraisal but I recommend sending it off to GIA then they can't really argue because it's certified and the facts are written down
My favourite gemstones are two blue sapphire and Green Emerald
So helpful!!!
I'm so glad!
Two beautiful ladies educating the world ❤
Oh thank you!
