This video has completely changed my perspective on inclusions. I always saw them as flaws, but now, I appreciate them so much more for what they tell you and see they can actually make the stone much more desirable and beautiful. Thank you!!
I was roped in for this entire lecture. Thank you for making this information so interesting and digestible!!
شكرا جزيلا سيدتي . كنت أبحث عن هذا الدرس المبني على العلم الصحيح . انا مسرور بإنضمامي لقناتكم الاكثر من رائعة . شكرا مرة أخرى .
Such a condensed lecture. I'm a gemologist and totally agree this will be very useful for people trying to get their feet under the table on gemstones.
I wasn't expecting to stay for an hour-long webinar on gemstones, yet here I am at the end! The power of pretty shinies, perfect pacing, and incredibly easy-to-understand explanations/diagrams/examples compels me! 😍🙇🏿♀️
Really enjoy this webinar! Lily's presentation is really clear and the pace of this presentation is just perfect! very informative and professional! Would definitely looking forward to join more Lily's webinars.

6.58K Sub's and over 115K views. Lots to learn. Great presentation; glad this channel showed up in my scroll.
Lily you did an amazing job of explaining this aspect of gemology. Really enjoyed the seminar, quiz and the questions at the end. Thanks again to Gem A 💎
It is very refreshing to find such a quality content offered on KZread. Excellent choice of relevant facts, sound understanding of concepts, and perfect pace and clarity of presenting it all. Thank you!
Love this so much! Wish you all would make this a series and cover other species! I’m interested in feldspar, specifically labradorite! So beautiful.
Excellent video. Thanks for posting.
Well, this video is a true gem! Puns aside, very well made and explained, perfect pace, clear content: thank you so much!
This was amazing to watch. Thank you for posting this !
Excellent Mam around 15 to 16 yrs back the study was not so deep study and I got to no lot thanku so much I liked it very much I can improve my study material
Great video. Usually I'm a little bit critical of these type Vids. You know your stuff. Subscribed. Look forward to more.
Loved this presentation! Thanks so much!
I love this video! So informative the instructor is very engaging. The section on Garnet is everything! 💯
Awesome thank you for being so clear on what is what with these gemstones! I am a complete newbie, which will become more obvious as I open my mouth,I'm sure. So apologies in advance! The information can be varied,depending on the source,I'm discovering! So thank you for this instruction that holds to consistent standards. You have taught me more in the course of this video than I was able to glean from multiple books! Also it was great to hear the names of stones and their variations pronounced correctly. As I have only been learning from books up to this point, and I have discovered that pronouncing these mineral names does not come naturally to me! Lol! Certainly,without doubt, you have saved me from ridicule,going forward. I can just imagine the embarrassment I would have faced,if I had referred to a cabochon as a caw-bo-chawn!! I shudder! So thank you,sincerely!
Very well researched & knowledgable subject. Thanks

Fyi: Looks like a good video but the sound for me today is so far out of sync with the slides it is impossible to watch. Started it several times and tried to see if it would correct itself further in but no luck.
Tiger Eye can also be red and magnetic due to the presence of iron.
What is the black material in a Trapiche Emerald?
