Always great to have a Geo location for your specimen, it really adds something special. I remember learning about Aquamarine, when in times past, Sailors used to toss their Aquamarines into the water to calm the tempestuous seas. Great production, thank you.

I'm from Viet Nam and though I've known the basic colors of aquamarine like the specimens from Pakistan but this is the first time I've found out that ours have that deep and rich blue! It's fascinating that I'm learning new things everyday.

Im Vietnamese too and strangely enough, Id only known and collected the deep blue shades of aquamarine, all mined in Thanh Hoá. I didnt know aquamarine could be as pale as the Pakistan specimens. The Namibia one is actually closer in shade range to ours.
@@minh-hangnguyen6099 Is dark blue aquamarine just "man made alteration" = heated more to form darker iron Fe color on stone ? Not natural ? Baked in oven heat more than regular ones 300-400*C causes light blue if higher temperature then darker blue forms ?
Well done video!! amazing samples showing how the aqua samples differ depending on region. Very informative. Look forward to watching more of your videos
If I’m reading correctly, this host is Rebecca? If so, Rebecca is awesome. Haven’t been into gems at all but I’ve binged a few vids now and she’s great at explaining everything with contagious enthusiasm. Fascinating stuff!
11:31 They're a bit lacking in basic chemistry knowledge. What on Earth did she mean when she said beryllium is heat resistant? It's an element. No element can be destroyed by heat unless you get it hot as the sun. How well a beryllium compound resists heat will depend on the compound, not any single component of it. And how beryllium compounds behave has no connection to to the behavior of elemental beryllium metal in steel alloys. In their defense, I have heard equally chemistry challenged remarks from many rockhounds at shows, so they're probably just repeating things they've heard.
Seems like you don’t understand. No, heating beryllium alone cannot change its charge; beryllium almost always exists in a +2 oxidation state, meaning it typically loses both its valence electrons to form a positive ion, and this charge remains relatively stable even when heated. This is why she said heat resistant. If the charge changes so does the color. She’s saying it doesn’t and that’s correct.
@@Matthew-vk5pn Kiddo, *any* element from the 2 left columns of the periodic table has only one charge state. Do you think that makes them all "heat resistant" and hence suitable for steel aerospace alloys? It sounds like you know a little bit of high school chemistry. Keep learning.
Great Channel! Great videos, very educational! I love geology and gemology, but I have a question that's bothering me because I can't seem to find an answer... Can you tell me how one can enter the Tucson gem show as a guest? Is it free, is it private or public? Any input would be greatly appreciated!! (I know that there are several gem shows in Tucson but I'm referring to the large one... the main event lol)
These aquamarine gemstones are so beautiful and gorgeous.😃🥰💎🌊 To know the how they get their blue color which is my favorite,🥰💙 where they came from and how they form is so fascinating.🤔 This gem is also my oldest brother birthstone too.🥳🎂 My favorites are the clean cut one and the thin deep blue one from the island. Thanks for teaching us about them and good video.😀👍💎

Aquamarine is my birthstone and I loooove the color. However, I don’t buy it in jewelry because the pieces I can afford don’t ever have the color payoff that the specimens in this video have. *cries in poor* That Vietnamese specimen is especially stunning.
So, i found what im fairly sure is a raw Aquamarine a couple years ago at a river, its a nearly clear blue, definitely harder than anything ive tested it against (tool steel, glass, and more) it seems to have the correct structure, although the outer surface is foggy and rounded, its about thumb sized… and similarly shaped, is there a good way to reliably have it tested to know about? I actually have a few gems of similar origin (beaches, rivers, random mountain cave while hiking… haha) but i dont super trust most stores near me exactly…
Hi , I collect different gems and make my own natural jewelry. Aquamarine is my birthstone . Lately , I have been seeing a “new”type of aquamarine hitting the market ….Devil blue aquamarine….is this a real stone ? Is it aquamarine? What’s the difference? Thank you in advance ….😄
Good question! We've had some close calls (particularly during this shoot: th-cam.com/video/SZZvtwUEPdU/w-d-xo.html), but I don't think we've actually damaged anything during a shoot. We try to be really careful with our one-of-a-kind pieces, that's why we had Brittany there to help put the big pieces on stands for this video. Accidents do happen, however, so stay tuned.
I got a aquamarine bracelet, it doesn't look like the "typical" clear captivating "high quality" green-blue aquamarine. There are 3 colors in general in my stones, there are greenish stones, blueish stones and almost white ones. Can this still be real natural aquamarine? Or what else could it be.. I'm not talking about quality, just real and natural would be good enough to know. Thx in advance 🙏
Yes. Natural aquamarine can come in a variety of shades. Often it is treated to remove the green. Without examining it, we can’t tell you if it is natural or not, but the color isn’t necessarily a giveaway. On the contrary, a simulant may look too uniform.
@gems well I would like to show you, but I live in in Belgium. 🤷🏻♂️ The only extra thing I can tell you is that it isn't really transparent /translucent...
That's my birthstone and my big sister's and one of my aunt's, there was a pendant from a shopping channel that I drooled over but couldn't afford yeah at $ 2,000 dollars but still I know I can get something much better for less I haven't found it and I rather have the stone than a gemstone.
Can you please react to LG’s lastest video it’s all about “exquisite jewels” and it’s amazing I need an analysis from you guys of what the stones all are

Yah I agree Rodger. I love the geo locations too. Helps with gem identification, colors. Love it.

My biggest aquamarine is from the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. It weighs over 8,400 carats, and I bought it 10 years ago.
I have some if you are still intrested
I love following the show from Colorado on aquamarine mining on blue ridge.
I would love to see that 8.4k carat aquamarine, sounds incredible

Wow I love aquamarines 💗💗💗💗
How about Colorado Aquamarine from Mt. Antero? The museum in Denver (Nature and Science) has some awesome specimens!
me with my aquamarine stone candle on the desk lol thank you for sharing the facts of this beautiful stone ^_^ it was very insightful
Nice!
Georgous minerals this is a great channel I learn so much history lands and many cultures
love your video format so much information as well as interesting to see the stones from different regions side by side
Thank you for the update
I have aquamarine and quarts from Pakistan
Epic!!! 🧙🏻♂️💙🇦🇺💯

Pakistan origion
What? Nothing from Mt, Antero, Colorado, or any of the other Colorado locations? You should do a segment just on Colorado gems. They're amazing!
We have aqua in NH also. I have also gotten specimens from North Carolina.
How does one come to acquire such specimens? Looking to buy some myself.
I can easily get lost in such crystals. It is like each specimen is a world on its own
