I was out mining for gemstones in atlanta and I also bought along my rock collection to show 'the owner of mine said do you know you have a mess of meteorites and a garnet stone I was so happy I know the collection was something but had no idea they all where valueable...I love rock hunting, that's awesome to do something so wonderful
The meteorites can be worth a lot of money if properly identified. I have sold nearly all of mine that I have found along the Arkansas river and made some really good money off of them. I highly recommend you finding out what the meteorites are composed of, like iron nickle and other types of metal hidden inside the core of the meteorite. You can use a metal detector to identify the different types of metal and get a good idea what their worth is. Just keep in mind meteorites can be worth a lot of money so be careful as to who you entrust them with. Thanks
@@AEON. That's totally wrong. Flux grown sapphire are very easy to detect, they don't have the same interaction with light than natural because the crystaline structure is different than natural. But Hydrothermal sapphire (also synthetic) have the same propriety than natural, these one are impossible to spot by eyes, but with proper equipment it's possible. Anyway thats not the subject of this video
Some people find or acquire stones and think just because they have it, that its nice or valuable. A lot of times it's either a very poor or low grade example, or even misidentified. When you get a good deal there is a reason why.
Im interested in buying stones such as rubies, onyx, amethist and carbuncle and so on, I also would like to learn more about identifying real from the fake stones
I agree with the previous comment I am in the industry and the stuff you are showing is the same as I throw away it is not gem quality at all. You are misleading people.
I believe the stones have energy, vibration, and do in fact influence me. Citrine makes me so happy. Carnelian fills my heart. And green aventurine makes me feel secure. They are amazing.
I would like to know if you could tell me what the stone is I found. On the outside it's dull, on the inside it's shiny and somewhat translucent. On the outside it registers from 6, 7 or 8 depending on where you test at, and in the little holes it goes all the way to diamond. So I don't know what it is, in the sun it looks like glass and very shiny. How do I send you pictures?
Hi Manowar, I live in Northern Thailand, and I am friends with a cutter who gets his hands on all kinds of material, sapphire, ruby, spinel etc. Sometimes he heats it, sometimes he doesn't (he never lead fills). I've seen incredibly red, beautiful rough ruby from Mogok up close and you immediately see why it's so valuable, compared to other stones.
I have found an ancient Sea Shore of "Turtle Island"... amazing rough Gems perched on top a 425 million Year Old Sea. 2 meteor impacts... ET Gems. Quartz is the standard ???
Lol. Mother nature makes them as perfect as possible and it's very subjective. Any stone that in nature states are so beautiful until people try to modified them to fit their idea of what 'perfection' is. I would buy these 'ugly' stone anytime than the human modified one. We should be allowed to cut, shape and polish them only, nothing more. 😂😂😂😂
By the way, you're cutting the Rubies and sapphires in the wrong direction, you need to cut them in a way that comes or flattens the C-Axis. You are ruining a lot of potential Star sapphires and Star Rubies, which goes to show you actually know far less than you think you know. The "mosaic" is actually Rutile growing through the ruby along the growth plates. That is the ONLY one you seem to have cut somewhat properly.
As a young guy, I'm very conflicted regarding engagement rings. I really like what you say about having a real, national stone. Though that doesn't go over very well with the world. Do you have any ideas for a natural, truly beautiful, yet formal engagement ring?
I really want to learn more about gemstone and i find your video very helpful i am from the phil and there are lots of beautiful stones here i wanted to identify precious gems from worthless rocks..i know your the kind of person that can help me ...i will wait for your reply.thanks more power
We went to Tennessee and mined for Stones just in those side shops. But the owner told me the whole story about when he first started out and where his Business has had to make Changes with the way he chooses to buy mined gem stones. So he bids on boxes of mined stones now. He said sadly most stones Sold in stores are artificially grown. So then they sorted our stones and told us what all we have. We are buying a rock tumbler but. It sure how To work with Ruby’s and sapphires to finish them for jewelry? Have to done any videos on start to finishing these stones?
It depends on the quality of the stones and the color, The yellow sapphires are hard to find unless you buy the rough and sort through it and there is no guarantee you will find one that is clear. The blue sapphires are much easier to find you just need to be sure they haven't been heat treated. Ebay has both rough and treated sapphire really cheap, but I would be careful on buying their yellow sapphires most are either yellow quartz called (citrine) or colored quartz that has been heat treated. If you need me to look on ebay for you or go through my stock of sapphire and rubies I can. Thanks Rob
Very few white diamonds are treated.A good ruby or Sapphire that isn't treated other than heat is hard to find and worth a a lot of money . I have many large best unheated Sapphires that I found and received at working mines. The $ to find these are substantial.Yes there is more junk out there than fine material that's why fine untreated rubies and Sapphire is worth a fortune.What you have here is corundum hardly acceptable as gem grade.
I ran my metal detector over the bigger pieces and it read copper. I was thinking of trying to smelt some of it down in my forge and see what I get out of it, should be interesting thanks
Hmm, the professionals don't seem to concerned about heat treated sapphires or tanzanite. You can take a particularly dull colored and less desirable stone and turn it into a bright, vibrant, highly prized stone. Hell, many professional jewelry makers offer a heat treatment service.
If your still interested in me finding some Alexanderite for you please let me know, Apologize for the delay didn't mean to leave you hanging like that. Thanks Rob
It depends on the color and place of origin. I need to know the color you would like and does it matter where the stone comes from? They have discovered new mines in Russia that produce color changing Alexandrite that are REALLY REALLY expensive. Thanks Rob
Well it was first discovered in Russia, and actually at the moment it is almost gone but they found some in Brazil. Alexanderite is supposed to change color
have a friend looking fornraw sapphirethey wish to work with and create gem with. it is thier birthstone. any good resources finding these? do you have and offer them yourself?
I would love to see some pendants rings anything you have made I am looking for a unique piece specific for protection however I love lapis, party sapphires ......... Just love rocks :) so rock on mate health love and light (the gal from oz)
This is not right, i am in Africa getting stones from the mines, what he is showing is the cheapest things available, its called corrandom and non glass body. But you can get unheated glass body from all these not heat treatment etc. And they are expensive. Only get stones with certificates.
I have ruby and sapphire, found in North Ga., and they are in the rough and opaque. They do fluoresce under a black light, brilliant pink and blue. They are not crystalline and see through though and I'd just like to know how they would look cut and polished. I love the gems I've found, in the rough better, but just wondered if there is any value to opaque stones. Thanks.😊
Sorry for the delay in responding I have been excavating a bluff shelter (native American site) and haven't been checking my messages. The answer to your question is yes as long as they are stable and do not crumble to the touch you should be able to have them worked into nice pieces, I recommend you take them to someone who does lapidary work it's cheaper then having a gem cutter do it and the lapidarist should be able to preserve the natural beauty of the stone .thanks Rob
To you have any tips on how to work something of these rough stones? I found some rubies, sapphire and emeralds and I would like yo do some work on them

This stuff is garbage. You can get it at any rock shop. True gem grade ruby, sapphire, diamond, and emerald is VERY rare. Everyone may own COMMERCIAL GRADE examples of these stones, which are quite common, but gem grade is something most folks don't own. Hell, most people have never even SEEN gem grade examples of those stones, much less own them. And don't bring up that shit you see at mall chain stores. That's garbage too. For someone who is an expert, you should know better.
+Fardeen Majidi Do you know the origin of the stones and have they been graded? I can give you my e-mail address if you have any pictures you can send me. thanks Rob
+manowar40 hi, many thanks for the reply, I do have some pics and know the origin, my email "fmajidi6@gmail.com" please send me a blank message and I will forward you the details. Thanks once again, greatly appreciated!
Your t stones aren't gem quality and heating won't make them translucent. You're stones aren't gem quality and that's t's why you didn't pay much. You're spreading confusion to drum up business for your poor quality stones.
I apologize for not getting back sooner but am currently excavating a bluff shelter(Native American site)not far from where I live. I will try to get caught up with everything tomorrow and go over the photo's you sent. thanks Rob
I forgot, we are going to start a lottery each month in which you can win whatever I find in one day. It's free no strings attached and it can include arrowheads,petrified wood,potch opal,jasper,agate.jade,stone tools,petrified animal bones and tons of other stuff. It will be really cool and everything I find will be on video so I can't cheat if I find something rare or worth a bunch of money. Thanks

He called a window a type of facet so you can see what's inside of it! Is bullshitting utterly.

What town are you in , I am in Ubon.

My main intrest is in rough stones for healing, now using quartz river stones.

All yours stones are rubbish. No gem quality at all

I like rough stones too! I think the value of them should sky rocket. I don’t see why it wouldn’t. The earth ain’t getting anymore

hi I am desy Here. Thanks for the Truth About Gemstones,I would like to Know how much is the cost for Blue Sapphire &Yellow Sapphire?

I like chatoyant gems, mainly stones with rutile or hematite inclusions that make them show stars or cat eyes
Very few white diamonds are treated.A good ruby or Sapphire that isn't treated other than heat is hard to find and worth a a lot of money .

You have poor quality stuff that you can get at a rock shop. Everyone does not own a GEM GRADE ruby, sapphire, or diamond. There is a difference.
I would love to see your work. How do I go about that?
I love blue sapphires , I would definitely want to have some of them.
that copper he was holding looked like corundum ore in Skyrim
I ran my metal detector over the bigger pieces and it read copper. I was thinking of trying to smelt some of it down in my forge and see what I get out of it, should be interesting thanks
