- In this video, I have come across several types of man made turquoise which are more or less untestable via the traditional methods (hot needle and acetone dye test).
This is a follow up to my other two turquoise testing videos here:
• How to Test Turquoise ...
And here:
• Fake Turquoise vs Hot ...
I also answer some of your questions about which liquids can also be used to test for dye.

Interesting stuff, Austin!
Thank you for this informative video! The piece of turquoise you were unable to confirm is similiar to a piece that I have. New subscriber :)
Yay! Happy this was helpful :)
Constantly evolving? I guess that's why ppl like you are invaluable to the gem trade, because you're willing to evolve your tests.
Trying to... I've found the best test is just years of looking at stones...
Thank u
You're welcome, hope it was helpful
@@earthartgems it is!👍
I think all of us rock hounds if we stand next to fake turquoise and just dont feel it, then its fake. When you see a squash blossom necklace with beautiful blue green stone and you get the feels, it lets you know its real.
Allow me to tell you most of the time if it is cheap turquoise it is Howlite dyed however I have seen some stuff that is kind of passable but honestly you can tell
Thanks Carly, I'd agree with this 100%. And a lot of the time the color is the giveaway to the trained eye :)
