Oh yes, when I was looking for some typical fake Stones for my Emerald Tutorial in the online markets, I was realizing how many of the fakes are offered with a "certificate". That's very brazenly.

India and China are the primary countries where a significant amount of synthetics/fakes come from. Be careful with jewelry coming from these countries.

I have purchased three different types of testing equipment and your methods are way easier! I'm happy I found your channel! Thank you so much. Avocado oil is very clear.

Very nice thank you! I myself am less concerned with differentiating natural versus lab gems (both being real, though with different price points) as I am with ruling out straight on fakes or similar stones which are intentionally or mistakenly classified. For example a blue spinel versus a blue sapphire, or a ruby versus tourmaline or garnet. Are you able to share more direct observational tests on that kind of task. Such as how to observe/measure/compare density or crystal structure?

is it true flux sapphires have straight color zoning or is it curved ?

Are synthetic stones and laboratory produced stones the same thing?

Great video, thank you for sharing with us. Can I use glycerin oil?

Thanks for watching. You can use every clear and colorless oil for the test. Don't forgett some oils smells strong which makes the work with them a little uncomfortable. For the best result you can select an oil with a RI close to the Material RI you plan to test. Refractive Index of Oils can be found online.

Is using a saline solution a way to determine red amber from a raw ruby. A ruby would sink due to density? I have what I've always thought is natural red amber but it flouresces red under UV.

@GermanGemcutter

Жыл бұрын

Yes, that's correct. It can be distinguished between them due to a much higher density of Rubies. Another test uses a glowing needle, but I can only recommend this test as an exception as it would damages the potential amber.

This was really interesting, but I have to agree with Cliffwalker rockhounding. 👇😁

Im so confused. I read that synthetic lab rubies are still corundum and are considered actual rubies with the same level of hardness and chemical structure as a natural stone. Is this true?

Sir how to recognise natural turmilian , spinal and natural Burma ruby please explain

Gems can be identified by typical inclusions etc. It becomes more complicated to prove a possible treatment of a stone, and much more complicated to determining the geographical place where they were found. It is only possible with a lot of experience and appropriate expensive equipment and tests. In any case it is helpful to take a look at the microscopic inclusions Gallery at Lotus Gemology. In the case of tourmaline, for example, testing its piezoelectric properties is helpful. You can find a video about these properties and how to test here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hoFtlM6zaKnVnrQ.html

What type of oil did you use? And what you mix it with?

@GermanGemcutter

Жыл бұрын

In this case it was Camelia oil simply because i have had it available in my houshold. You can use every clear and colorless oil for this test e.g. foodoils. For the best results use an oil which RI is closest to the Material you plan to test. Refractive Index for Oils can be found online. Don't forget some oils smells strong which makes the work with it a little uncomfortable.

When they are set in rings is there any type of lighting or otherwise that would help me to determine better as with that situation I can’t see through them to look at the variations as well

@GermanGemcutter

When a stone is set in jewelry, this test becomes more difficult. It may be impossible to see through a stone due to different settings. Sometimes it can be helpful to put a white piece of plastic behind the stone. Light reflects from the top of the white plastic through the stone or it diffuses light from the bottom, dependig on what type of light you are use.

Yes, you are right, for a beginner this is really a lot or too much input. I have given the individual video parts a time stamp in the video description, especially for the many syntheses, so you can quickly skip to the part that you need or want to watch again. Since the video already contains a lot of information, I decided not to go into detail about the inclusions in rubies and refer to the Inclusion Gallery. Thank you for your feedback and the kind words🙂

Hey Buddy it is not an Animal Oil. I used Camelia Oil (Plant Oil) for this test, just because i have had it available in my houshold (to protect equipment like Kitchenknifes for rust) You can use every clean and colorless Oil for this test e.g. Foodoils. Don´t forgett some oils smells strong which makes the work a little uncomfortable. The RI of different Oils can be found online. For the best results, try to use an Oil with a RI close to the Materials RI you wanna test. But you can use every clear and colorless oil.

Yeah it is very hard to detect a beryllium treated Ruby or Saphhire. I have seen some examples in Immersionfluid, which had orange to piniksh shadows. Very hard visible. I think the best way to look for such slightly shadows is to use extreme good lights and a good microscope in combination with Immersionfluid.

A detailed explanation is missing that you give a judgment on each stone. You say this is fake and then show the evidence, and this is normal, then show the evidence with its natural qualities. The explanation is long and looks like the natural and looks like the fake, so what is it? ،

If you paid too much, it's probably a real one and you got ripped off! You should buy a lab grown for 20$ that will match a 10 carat real ruby. Lab grown ruby are REAL ruby. Ignorant people buy real ruby because they are misinformed.
