15 Gemstones More Expensive Than Diamonds #2 

Maybe it has really good resell value. I mean you never know. You could try to make a ring out of it

Word !!!!!

😂😂😂

I vote you won the internet for that, lol.

To funny

Exactly.

No sheit, Sherlock! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

@Frost Wolf great diamonds are rare! Size is a lot!

Yes! It’s all about business!! Who started the diamond business who said it’s rare?!

Plus good fakes are plentiful.

Not a jewelry, but (not bragging just discribing) cut top quality custom designed faceted stones. So knowing the importance of the value of the stone is as important of the quality of the stone. Soon as saw the first one, was very ehh...

I have a gem stone I don't know if it's real. Philippines

I’m a gemologist, this video kinda hurt

As soon as I heard the narrator speaking I thought this must be a joke

This guy in the video must be high

Naw they could be fire opals could be a welo or Honduran but boulder opals which are native to Australia can have different colors but aren't given the fire opal name like the welos from Ethiopia are for example..and Herkimers are Herkimers they aren't a diamond correct but they aren't just a quartz either

Lots of BS in this article

​@@nickhoward7283 it can be called that just like Honduran it's any opal that has the 3 colors blue green red

Damn 😂 are you mad?

This whole video is like that, total bullshit like lab grown conundrum and rhodolite are in every ted stone bit, same deal with every other color. It's random bullshit eye candy filler.

Not to mention musgravite isn’t doubly refractive like taaffeite

Hi Samantha, I have a Serendibite it's black and appears brown. Can you please tell me more about this gemstone?

blame debeers for that

I picked up a few from the Gem Show for my crystal business at a decent price. A lot people don't even know what it is.

@@daisygirl1217 E-BAY

They’re super inexpensive compared to a diamond …. Easy to come by. Meh refraction. I have a 13 ct herkimer… the band is worth 6x the stone value & it’s a simple band & prong setting . I wonder what else this poor excuse for a video got wrong? Are my rose quartz beads now worth millions? Lol.

I second that

Grew up in NY, people used to mine them all the time as a family trip. You can still mine them all day for $16

Hi, i have amazingly great 10 carat of Tanzanite. If you like to buy ?

00

Same here

I was born in December and always thought my birthstone was turqoise. Boring. Tanzanite much much better.

Agreed! It holds a totally different vibration too

There's one that can but I'm having a senior moment and can't remember. Ethiopian maybe???

Welo opal can be faceted.

any opal CAN be faceted, but why would you? Fire opal sometimes is as it doesn't always have that play of color. But if an opal does have that, it doesn't make sense to facet it.

Inhave Ethiopian Opal Faceted & Brazil Fire Opal can be faceted aswell

crystal opal can be faceted..they didnt go into opal very well

Gemologist here….My family grew up in Alberta and near the area where Ammolite was “discovered”. Before it’s “discovery” as kids they used to toss the specimens and rocks around and thought nothing of them. They are kicking themselves now and shake their heads.

There's a mine in Alaska

@@wm9312 where is this mine? From what i can find gemstone quality ammolite is only mined in Alberta

@@estellerobicheau852 The same company has a mine in Alaska. Apparently they do well selling ammonite to cruise ship tourists

I agree, biggest marketing propaganda ever perpetuated on the general public. Don’t mind diamonds, as long as they play second fiddle to the main event of a beautiful precious coloured gem.

These diamonds are more expensive than diamonds 😂😂

Type one Supernova stars shower the universe with trillions of tonnes of diamonds when they explode

@@stephaniesadie832 Eyy if you haven’t heard of this, look up 55 Cancri e, this exoplanet is rumoured to have 3/4th of it as diamonds.

Heaven....read about it...the streets r paved in gold

@@sandracrandall4561 Sounds functional to have a highly inert material like Gold for streets. Won't ever corrode or stain. They must not need many people to maintain the streets in this place you speak of.

@@stephaniesadie832 Even our Sun would have them. All we need to do is develop TDO Starlifting and we'll get them and more.

I was surprised that Alexandrite wasn't on this list. I was fully expecting to see it somewhere

@@Deziraye11 Yeah. From what I know, natural Alexandrite is way for expensive than a diamond of equal quality (size, clarity, etc.) Edit: “way MORE expensive”. Damned autocorrect!

I own a genuine, natural Alexandrite which turns about five colours, depending on the lighting. I won it participating in an online contest based on knowledge of jewellery, but I digress. When I went to Fedex to pick up my winnings I opened the container and the stone was a ' sapphire'. When I got to my friend to show her it was 'emerald'. When I reached home it was 'amethyst'. I've had jewellers try to finagle it from me, yet to me it is priceless! Just sharing.

@@arlanarix-brazil4800 I would take it to a lab and have it looked at under a spectrometer thats how you will know for a fact of what you have. That’s sounds really beautiful. There is one in a ring set that I don’t know if it’s real or not that goes from this sea foam green to purple. It’s huge maybe like 3 or 4 carts which is why I’m leaning on it’s not real. Plus the fact you usually don’t set alexandrite with smaller stones of alexandrite in a wedding setting like it is in. I don’t know something about that ring is screaming to me not real if that makes sense.

@@GrumpyOldFart2 o

I have a bixbite ring. The gems are very small but I like unique gemstones.

I'd prob risk it... Can't even live without having 2 jobs and roomates

What? No alexandrite?

I have a 1 ct stone on a welsh gold 18K pinky ring I inherited not long ago from my grandfather and without making myself sound crazy on here I’m just going too say I’ve been very well off with business for the first time in my life since it was put on my finger

They are so beautiful, I will like to have one, hope you are doing fine

I’ve heard this about Garnets. I am a January birthday so Garnets are my birthstone. I’ve always thought they were an ugly earthly brown, but being an earth sign, I have grown to embrace the color. Someone once told me that there are purple or even green garnets that can almost look like emerald but are more valuable than diamonds. Would love to find one some day! Same with sun stones, just learning about those and I am born and raised in Oregon. Makes me want to go mining so bad.

Specifically demantoid horsetail 😳

I have a matched set of demantoids with horsetail inclusions…. My favorite gems.

Yes, I was surprised that the Alexandrite wasn’t on the list!

I don't now if you are interesting I have some gemstones

Nor do I...they were also wrong about which gemstone has the highest per carat value...just saying. The most expensive gemstone in the world didn't even make this list. Lol

Did I miss sapphire?

I don't know how I got here but I'm laughing at the voice over 😜 what a plonker

not to mention burmese rubies being so valuable that they cost more than a million dollars per carat....I bet he just looked up "most expensive ruby ever sold" and then decided to divide that price by carat weight or something.

I know, I have many Herkimer diamond, including ones with petroleum trapped inside...and I am most definitely not rich! Also, Paraiba Tourmaline wasn't on this list and certain coloured ones of these have sold recently for £1m a carat.

Interessante.

i am so jealous..

I agree 👍

true

Half the stones they talked about are just special types of diamonds so how is a rare diamond more expensive than a diamond. Unless I missed something a red diamond is still a diamond.

Red Garnet✅💯✅💯

Yes garnet is my birtg, birthstone but I never knew about Tsavorite or Dimantoid Garnet fill I watched JTV. Hope to get some one day.

Yes Tom I agree. The Argyle mine has been closed. They are promoting investment diamond portfolios beginning at 20k I also have a fondness for blue diamonds and Tanzanite jadeite. All are great for investment and collection.

Yes, it will increase in value when the store is going to sell it to you, NOT WHEN YOU TRY TO SELL IT BACK AT THE STORE. Diamonds like cars don't retain their value. Diamonds are OVERPRICED, OVERVALUE with overly inflated markups. They'll give you, not even 20% of what you paid for. The store says they have to make a profit. The diamonds stones at a trader hands are worth nothing. They are worth for them as a stone they can deceive people to pay them a huge markup for them.

. zzzzzz zzz_

My husband and l worked at Argyle mine when it was first started, way back in 1982.Famous for pink ,yellow, smoky and black diamonds.

How do I get in touch with Mrs Leo Abigail ?

I really need to contact her, I've heard so much good news about her....let me give her a try.

I agree - ive sold heaps for like $30 each n thats big ones - unless ive been a mug!

@@beingme437 I'd probably be interested in buying some!

quite a lot of bs in this video.

Nah the general market cares more for the four cs

No big fan of the Ridge, after mining and cutting for ten years in Mintabie, but I'll grant you that your fire opal IS damn nice.

That is simply not true. Read your history using documented sources. In the last 40 years the number of consumers for precious gems has gone up by the billions. More people than ever can afford them. Diamonds will continue to rise in price and the Laboratory grown synthetic diamonds will take over the lower end of the market. Sadly late grown are being pushed as environmentally better. Again people need to do their. homework. Serious homework. Not a night cruising the internet. As a past librarian and a current Gemologist of 35 years in practice.... Factual knowledge takes time & experience. I am not picking on you...I just want to help people understand that just because something is floating around as fact, simply doesn't mean it is. My sincerest apologies....i just had a moment and needed to rant about this. Namaste...

Pearls were the most expensive then. Research it

Ok, but tell me with a straight face that expertly cur diamonds aren't some of the most beautiful things a human eye can behold... That's what they are to me and a hell of a lot of people

A lot has to do with the elite making it 'valuable ' ...diamonds have many sources ..there are many gemstones which have literally single sources which should make it more valuable .. I personally live coloured gemstones over transparent diamonds

Lab grown diamonds are everywhere now mined diamonds are not

Yep. Dirt cheap and plentiful.

Yeah! I have some here that I paid one and two dollars for

I have several herkimer diamonds bought from the local crystal shop. Cost a few dollars.

Yeah, it makes me wonder about the other minerals on the list

@@maryrawle7448 same

The natural red diamond held at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC blows that out the water. 😉

You're welcome ramona, you seem Smart lady...

Tanzanite is only in Tanzania, Zoisite which Tanzanite is part of is what you are seeing from other places.

Tanzanite is considered a One source Stone if they find it in other places like California or someplace else like you just said that's a fluke as true gem quality tanzanite it's just about all mind out

Correction 3000% Correct

Most likely were , check out what kind of crystals can be found in your state, I just went to the upper part of the lower peninsula & found all kinds of crystals. Maybe not expensive gemstones what you saw was most likely a variety of quartz!

In reference to the ad preceding this video.. I watched January 6th live on RU-vid as it happened and I never saw any destruction of property other than the fact that two windows got broken out and to me they were dressed like antifa people while the crowd shouted, "Stop them, antifa, stop them". I was marching in front of our state capitol that day demanding an audit before the certification as well.

where are you

I have magnetite stone anyone interested should chat me

Propaganda to raise the price. Brainwashing

It is a lie

Let me buy some my guy 🥲

Really cool

I have an opel pendant

Hi Sandra Pullen, How’re you doing

Don't keep it locked up and hidden. Find a excellent jeweler and have a ring or pendant made from it. Show it off. Otherwise it's beauty just goes to waste.

I am a fan of selling it for gold. Find out how much ruby is by the carat and go from there.

Get it verified and inscribed by GIA, then a appraisal on it. Most common quality color runs about $12K, higher quality runs $35k, top is appraised separately and is regularly seen $150K on the lower end, $300K being average at current values.

That would make the most beautiful pendant, set in gold & surrounded by brilliants. Don't make it languish in a vault, make something from it. If you're scared someone will steal it, then insure it & tell people it's fake.

Blue is the standard for sapphire which is why the color is not needed to describe when stating a sapphire. While heat treating and other treatments change the quality of sapphire, it isn't a standard for color change as you would see in topaz and few others.

You can't name them lol

@@vanessaaire879 No, not right now.

👉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👈

Herkimer diamond is also found in Herkimer County, New York, USA . USA is not a 3rd world country last I checked.

Here are actually beautifully colored diamonds that are found all over the world ..and colored diamonds, yellow, chocolate, pink, are worth more than colorless diamonds Moissanite is only a little bit less hard than a diamond and the clarity makes them sparkle more.
