@tbacon2784 10 месяцев назад

The clear stone in the ruby necklace you bought yourself could be spinel, topaz, or a white sapphire. Did you know that years ago spinels were so commonly used in fake jewelry, that many people, including my sister and I grew up believing they were fakes! Now they have come i to their own and are going up in price.

@patrickbutcherine142 3 года назад

The closer the needle is to the end of the corresponding black line means its QUALITY STONES!! Each line is each type of gems threshold so that means lesser quality gems should read like half way or more towards the left and QUALITY STONES MAX OUT!!

@jonnywaselectric 4 года назад

Thanks for the video. Ive tested hundreds of stones with one of the $10 diamond testers and compiled a list of what number they go up to on the scale with it set at 1, 1 being glass and 10 being diamond, my list does correspond to the scale on that tester, saph and ruby 8 to 9 for example. The test isnt perfect as with your device as it wont differentiate a lab grown stone and a genuine, its great to see if something is glass though, there is many more glass stones on the market then there is lab grown.

Iolite is the mantle rock for OLIVINE/PERIDOT! Also look at the metal gems are set in!! Usually the best stones are set in high quality gold and platinum, BUT ALOT OF OLD OLD OLD OLD JEWELRY IS SET IN THE OLD SILVER OR COPPER/BRONZE/LEAD/ WHATEVER ALLOY OF THE AREA IT WAS MADE IN!! YOULL find gem quality Muscovite and old style cut diamonds and other RARE RARE RARE GEMS in old ass jewelry!! Nice demo of this tester. I found a placier deposit. I have rough gemstones of every mineral!!! I believe I have a 30.1g/19.4dwt/150.5 carat diamond or clear garnet, or something super special!! Theres only a couple gems that do the optical phenomena that LORRAINE Does!! I'm tryin to save to get it tested!

@douglascornett6605 Год назад

Even though the tester was in the Topaz, Sapphire range, doesn’t mean it’s Topaz. There are a lot of jewelers that use White Sapphires. My concern is when it overlaps like that. Then there are other tests that must be performed to make sure they are natural, if they have been treated, or if they are specific stones.

@toniagirard5670 Год назад

I just received one of these for Christmas. I calibrated mine and did do some testing. Pleasantly surprised that some tested for being real stones. My question is, when testing, do you just touch the needle to the stone or do you actually have to press it all the way down just like you have to when you calibrate? I did it both ways. With diamonds, it went all the way up, regardless. I could just touch it with the needle and it registered. Just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. Thanks

@jimgordon4685 5 лет назад

Imperial Jade is more of a color, the two types of Jade are Eastern Jade or Jadeite [more transparent/translucent], where Western jade is Nephrite Jade which is softer & Darker. Chrysoprase Is pronounced Cr-is-oprase not Cairoprase. I hope this heps.

@cscjb 5 лет назад

12:05 is probably green chrysoprase, otherwise it wouldve shot-up to near nephrite and jadeite considering both are similarly conductive.

@cscjb 5 лет назад

before identifying something immediately as the most "obvious" looking because it's luxurious or more expensive because it's "EMERALD OR JADE" because it's green, do search up color-names before the name of whatever the indicator is pointing to the closest, considering gems such as nephrite and jadeite are completely different varieties of minerals, as well as ruby and sapphire are different varieties of corundum, thermal and electrical conductivity of stones and the elements that make up the content of the stones is what's making the indicator on your device shoot up all the way to diamond when it's diamond and the others when it's around the others. If it's not shooting up to jadeite or nephrite, it's not Jade. The same reason the device isn't shooting up as quickly when it goes to glass. If you use a handheld device like one of those horrendously made but surprisingly accurate diamond selector devices that take 9v batteries, you'll even see how Jadeite and Nephrite will shoot up unbelievably quickly to high readings on the device. Such as right about where the ending of the black column that indicates nephrite, joins with the one that does with jadeite.

@cscjb 5 лет назад

Also Chrysoprase which you can pronounce as 'Cry-so-praise' is basically just another form of chalcedony, which everyone basically knows as agate.

@bobbiwest6625 3 года назад

That machine drives me crazy. Its a love hate relationship.they should come out with one where the lines dont intersect. And if you are told you have a diamond, but its moissonite, how do you know. I guess you have to purchase the tester for that too. But you did a great job . I know i would have decided on the same things you did when testing.take care.

@bjrockhound9241 5 лет назад

From what I have read, these testers are unable to determine the difference between many synthetic and genuine colored stones because they have very similar conductivity. On the other hand, it is good for making sure if the stone is glass. But that then brings me to the question - how effective is this type of tester when the natural gemstone has been glass filled?
