@snufkinhollow318 Год назад

The word awesome is often overused but when Brittany used it to describe this collection of spheres and eggs, it was absolutely appropriate. I tried to think which one I'd save if I had to pick one but it kept changing. The sunstone and moonstone. No, the septarian egg. No, the ocean jasper. No, the rutilated quartz. No, the labradorite. But I loved them all. I think we've all seen these kind of spheres and eggs before, and probably own at least one ourselves. But this video was above and beyond what I hoped to see when I saw the title. It was great to see how delighted Brittany and Rob were when opening the boxes too. I also learned about pink amethyst, which was new to me, so this episode was a joy all round. Thank you, folks. On a side note, whenever I hear the word labradorescence, my friend's smelly old and dearly departed retriever dog pops into my head, lying by the fire after a day in the woods almost visibly emiting 'stink lines'. I know it's spelled differently but I can't help thinking of the essence of labrador!

@largent45 Год назад

Those were some really outstanding spheres! I agree with the closer looks. That soapstone carving was fantastic! And that sunstone/moonstone sphere was just amazing! I would have picked the fluorite sphere i think. To find a fluorite, able to sphere is amazing and that one was just gorgeous, as were they all!

@ZaDussault Год назад

I did now know that pink amethyst was a thing and I'm proud to say I have a SHIT ton of it. I have a lot of geodes from a spot with both amethyst and pink quartz, so most of the quartz you find there are actyally purple-pink ist with varying levels of iron/irradiation, Thanks for the knowledge!

The green soapstone looks like the Death Star. 😂 16:18 Funny story, I keep a semi clear quartz sphere on my desk as my “crystal ball” that I pull out when I’m asked a question that no one can possible know the answer for in business meetings. It’s consulted much like a “Magic 8 ball”. 😂

@ricky7111 Год назад

When I saw the first sphere, I thought it had pyrite inclusions, and when you turned it, I got confused. Turns out it was reflections from your square lights

@johnlomax2502 Год назад

You guys are cute. 🤗 I appreciate you. I have a baseball sized quartz sphere that is water clear, but has the same sort of straight line through the middle as your larger one. It's a color separation band between the light smokey and clear zones. There is also a layer of scattered chlorite within the stone. It's from Brazil. I'm a life long crystal healer and I can tell you that it's one of the most powerful crystals that I have ever worked with.

@keithyinger3326 Год назад

Such a coincidence that there would be an episode on spheres 2 days after I bought a sphere. It's nothing spectacular. Just a clear 1 inch quartz sphere. It's for another idea though. When I was out collecting some downed limbs, I found one branch that split into a fork, but then one branch circled back around and grew into the other one. So the branch terminates with a perfectly grown hole. ----o , like so. I plan to stick the sphere in it and put a small LED in the base with a little hidden micro switch so it will light up. I will probably get some modeling putty and use to form around the sphere and hold it in place so that I can carve it in a way that it looks like a warty growth in the log with a sphere in it.

Pink amethyst. He he. I about turned one of my amethyst geodes into a brown amethyst. I placed my new crystal on the counter next to the stove top. Brown spots appeared on the crystals as I fried zucchini. Hot oil droplets changed the color of my rock.

Hello, I know a franchise made by Sanrio that is gemstone themed, and I bet it would be perfect for you to make a video about. It might even help more western audiences know the existence if it. If you are seeing this, would you like to know what it is?

@gems Год назад

Sure, we’re always open to suggestions!

@Austin_the_Dalmatian06 Год назад

@@gems Wonderful! Alright, here's the franchise. It's called Jewelpet. It is a Japanese and European exclusive franchise made by Sanrio and Sega Toys that features small magical animalistic creatures called Jewelpets. Jewelpets have eyes made out of a specific gemstone and can cast magic with said jewel eyes. There are 42 Jewelpets in total as of now, and each of them has a unique skill. Personally, I love Jewelpet, and seeing as how you guys do content that involves gemstones, including ones from popular media like the Chaos Emeralds from Sonic the Hedgehog and the Crystal Gems from Steven Universe, I'd love to see you talk about each of the Jewelpets and what each of their gems are. You can either make a full video covering all of the Jewelpets, or make a little timely series where you can talk about 6-7 Jewelpets in each video. You may pick.

I have several times responded to your wonderful videos and in response have been told that I was chosen to get your gift and to contact you right away to get my package. I have never responded as I assumed it was a scam. Was it? Some of the gemstone contact sites looked legit, but others had weird looking contact numbers etc. in them. Could you let me know if this is a “tac on scam” to your correspondence with me or legit? I have missed some giveaways if it was legit😢. Love your channel🥰

@gems Год назад

It was a scam. Unfortunately, someone swiped our logo and created a phony channel and responded to a lot of our commenters, pretending to be us. We reported them and deleted their comments as soon as we saw them, but they kept coming back with new phony channels. We aren’t doing any giveaways in the comments section and keep an eye on the channel name of whoever replies you. If it isn’t simply “Gemstones”, it’s not us.

@drewskifrosty5955 Год назад

Truly disappointed you guys bought into the marketing term "pink Amethyst". That and claiming natural Citrine is just naturally heated Amethyst. To my knowledge, that is still only 1 theory which doesn't add up when the dichroic properties are looked at. Also, if that was the case, exactly how does Ametrine contain both Amethyst and Citrine in the same crystal where the colors are literally quartered?

@rdizzy1 Год назад

You will not see a legit piece of ametrine that does not have one color inherently bleeding into the other color with perfect lines, they all have bleeding, because ground temps are gradual changes, some parts are hot enough, some aren't, some in between it may partially change color (this is why there is bleeding between the colors). It is not "just 1 theory", it is fact, they have proved it in multiple studies, being able to know the exact temps that the changeover in color occurs, how it occurs, why it occurs, etc.

@LDiamondz Год назад

@@rdizzy1 Yes, that's right. I have more ametrine pieces than I can count. None of them are 50% amethyst and 50% citrine. There's always bleeding. I do have some that appear to have a clean split, but still maybe 60-40% split. They are beautiful.
