A Job Well Done Chris! Your friendly demeanor, warm vocal tone, and concise delivery of information made the video feel more like a private tour than a industrial informational. And to The Behind The Scenes Production Crew, here is my thumbs up salute for your work too.

I'm a dude and I love the pink sapphires, especially the deeper magenta tones. I like the yellow ones too. I didn't realise that predominantly (depending on where you get the sapphire) you tend to get a lot of light green, its not quite as pure a lime green as a peridot. It was interesting to see the heat treating. I wondered how they came out that brilliant blue.

Thanks for all the information. I am cutting the unheated ones. The small natural light blue ones cut nice. But now if I have a sapphire that may need some help I think I will send to get treated. But if I can keep the natural I will.

I once lived in Montana and my friend Corky was an old rock hound and gave me 2 very large sapphire/corrundum specimens. Unfortunately stolen from me some years ago. The idea of the U.S. producing valuable sapphires is intriguing and I hope that the world will once truely value the Montana gemstones it rightly deserves. It pains me that so many people dont see gemstones as valuable as they once did. At least in my opinion. I mean just the thought of how long and the so very unique and rare circumstances that it takes for thier creation is enough for me to see great value in sapphires. I'm wearing 2 small dark blue ones now as I'm typing this comment and thanks to videos like this...I value them just that much more. Great video. Keep em coming.

correct me if I'm wrong I think if you change the shape of the crucible ( mesh shaped or the base of the crucible has holes), I think this will change the heat current inside the furnace. and will affect the color saturation. the 1/3 of your unsaturated stones will decline.

Using impervious aluminum oxide crucible to heat sapphires made up of aluminum oxide. Kind of ironic don't ya think?
@hasslefree1848
@hasslefree1848 5 лет назад
Considered inert and none reactive to the mineral itself which is Alumina Oxide ( Corundum ) but crystallized .... With some source material and more so than other sources you will observe the Alumina Oxide crucibles or dishes or plates or the platform, so to speak, used to contain the colored corundum absorb some of the color from the corundum that you are burning.......so a white or cream colored Alumina ceramic dish or crucible, is stained Blue or Red or Pink, for example, after burning the Blue Sapphires or Pink Sapphires or Rubies or Purple Sapphires or Yellow sapphires...like that ..Cheers

So.....Diamonds and Sapphires are priced based on 3 factors. First, the jewelry business puts an irrational emphasis on 'natural' vs lab created. Second, the clarity or amount of flaws within. Third, the coloring of the stone. NOW.... I have never subscribed to 1 as that is nonsense... but the color & clarity are very important. AND, if you factor in that lab grown stones are typically flawless, and now we see that the color is also artificially engineered.... why are people still buying the flawed, uncolored, dug up stones ? In my opinion, if even the 'natural' stones are artificially colored, then the whole jewelry industry is a bunch of hypocrites trying to sell to anyone gullible enough to buy them. I have purchased many diamond and sapphire rings in my life. None of them have ever been over $100 and I laugh when someone shows me their 'real' diamond ring that they paid thousands for... and I have to pull out my magnifying glass to see it.

Way to destroy the value... might as well facet some pretty glass. Heat treated sapphires become brittle. Modern cell phone glass is a form of treated sapphire - shatters into glassy dust when fractured. "In very short detail, an untreated sapphire is one that has been taken from the ground in which it came and faceted. Nothing at all was done to the stone to alter the natural beauty which only the earth created naturally. These sapphires are exceptionally more rare and valuable. For this reason, sapphires are extraordinarily unique from one to the next. No two are exactly the same; rare and unusual sapphires are almost irreplaceable, even one that is only 1 or 2 carats in size." ~ copied from a sapphire education source. Sure, some people may appreciate the added properties and pay extra to have those qualities. However the glory days of sapphire mining is long, long gone. That being said - treating a sapphire is like stealing the last few dollars in earths sapphire account. I mine, cut, and sell natural Missouri river sapphires. Some of them that is. "A mine is a hole in the ground owned by a liar. ~Mark Clemens / Samuel Twain
@hasslefree1848
@hasslefree1848 5 лет назад
Think what you may....Meantime the over whelming majority of Colored Corundum recovered from any mining location is low grade material relative to how it looks in its natural state, in comparison to the small percent that is already looking attractive and considered as high quality "looking" and of higher value.....The overwhelming majority of your Missouri river sapphires are pale, near colorless sapphires that are hardly appealing in their natural state....That being the case, then the material can be heated and a notable percent develop better Blue color and better Yellow color and some a nice yellow / orange color and some turn pleasant Violet color and even a nice saturated purple color sometimes and sometimes some turn a nice Padparadcha color from an original pink /slightly brownish color .......Because I know as I have Heat Treated the material before.....and ...because now, people know that it can be heat treated then they pay more for the rough than they would normally pay if it could not be heated or considered not heat treatable after trying for years and years to figure out how to develop color in otherwise near colorless, low value sapphire rough.....Now that they know it can be heated and the material reacts reasonably well to heating and therefore becomes more valuable, then some people will pay "a price" and relative to the known results after heating and more so as compared to if the material did not treat well enough or did not respond at all to heat treatment.....With the right equipment and heating procedures the Montana material is now considered "usable".....So, in effect, you should not be lamenting and criticizing Heat Treatment because your Sapphires are now more valuable because of heat treating........understand ..........Cheers
