Beautiful!!❤

Looks like a tiny steak lol

I also let the shape of the rough determine the freeform shape of the stone sometimes. This piece had some interesting banding that I think worked well with the overall shape, and I roughly followed the banding contour when choosing where to put the edges/facets.

Very very helpful thank You !!!

Just bought two of this named by the seller as agates and something was weird to me with them, thank you for this information

You're a racist! Best gems in the world are from China, let's admit it, it's God-given. There are more fake in American and Euro countries than in Asia.

Fake

😂

Nice

So pretty!

Nice specimen! I’m more into fossils myself but the crystal, mineral and rock collection style is growing on me.

This monster weighs in at 275 grams! Large old collection pieces like this are rare, so I thought it would be fun to share some video of it, even though the termination isn't quite perfect.

Nice video, detailed narration.

From a natural source of actual sard, this material is far from. Love agates. Avoid any dyed, so ugly.

How long you think you would last in that ocean back when that thing was still alive no boat less then like five minutes with a row boat like a day maybe two if that things would be ramming your boat and stuff just to see what it is and if they can eat it or not and that time was before the senses they got today they were probably was more vicious like primal for survival of the fittest so many species and no one really knows what job they got yet just eat or be eaten

when i was a kid i was digging a brittle rock with a garden tool and a rock hammer, me and my friend found this fossil that stuck out from the rock (like the ones shown) it was light brown, and was the same color of the rock. it felt kind of soft, like you could break it if you pushed on it. we tried to secure it somewhere at home, but it had dissapeared off of the rock, like some one had scraped it off. It looked alot like a very large rolly polly, with thin lines that ran maybe like ribs along the back. i think about that alot when i see things like this. im 19 now and i want to say i was maybe 10 when i discovered this with my friend. Any insight or pointers helps.. it was definitely very interesting, i can give you the location it was found at if youd like.

I currently have some trilobite fossils for sale on my Etsy store for those interested: geocommineralsllc.etsy.com

I see a lot of trilobite fossils for sale online get misidentified, so hopefully videos like this will help others ID their fossils! Morocco has some amazing trilobites.

Maybe even the positive comments for these sellers are some type of scam...

Excellent video. Thank you

Last one available is a scam alone, never buy last one! Haha😂

All the above is great advice but here's something I stand by. I think it's good, if you are going to buy, to find, or better yet be recommended a shop and don't be afraid to question the seller, genuine traders won't mind answering questions. Then build up a relationship with that seller, not only will you be in a better position to trust what they offer but they'll get to know what you like and may be able to look out for specimens that would be of interest to you.

This is great information! The other aspect of ethical selling is true, authentic moldavite but that has been procured and sold by drug cartels, etc. Buyer beware! It's so important to do our due diligence.

I have two really good gem shops in my area, I will never bye off the internet. I rarely bye from the internet, I don't need anything that bad. I have a nice irregular fragment of Moldavite.

If you have a microscope, real moldavite is jaw droppingly beautiful. It also gets increasingly alien/bizarre looking the more you zoom in. Even if you don't have scientific knowledge of the types of inclusions and whatnot that should be present in genuine moldavite and other tektites, you should easily lose hours plus of your time just staring into the view finder the first couple times you look at it. If you look at a new piece you just bought under a microscope and are not immediately left speechless by how awesome it looks at any magnification level, it's almost certainly a fake...

Thank you so much for this video! Yes, it’s easy to get scammed now. And true Moldavite has really gone up in price… I have many, bought years ago from Charles Albert, Starborn Creations. Recently bought pieces from Moldavite Family, Starborn, and Inner Visions Crystals. I like Mark Bajersky too. Moldavite is my favorite crystal, amazing energy, great for Arcturian energy! But it’s going to cost you to get the real thing now. ✨💕✨ Just wanted to add: The fakes won’t hurt you (Except perhaps in the wallet LOL!), but they won’t help you in any way, either…

Thank you for posting this. I've been looking for Moldavite and knew that was I was seeing on the internet was fake. Thank you for posting reputable sellers!

I just ordered from Starborn before viewing this video.

16:05 What's interesting to me about this listing is that even though the glass beads have been tumbled into a sphere shape, they list it as an _unprocessed_ moldavite.

Great video! I now only buy from one dutch online store that i trust and has been selling for years. Will never buy from ebey, china, scammers ever again!

Come on people stop this crap why does everybody have to steal all the time? isn’t it hard enough? Isn’t trying to do business for the benefit of all buyers and sellers? If people were just honest on both sides Of this fence we wouldn’t have to be concerned, about all these ridiculous laws and societal influences that cause all of these problems that we have stop it . there’s plenty for everyone.

Scamdavite 😮 Internet is rife with scams fake products and fake reviews you really have to be careful

Me grabbing my necklace to check it 😂😂😂, great video mine was gifted to me and im pretty sure its real. Thank u for the video

Doin research, seeing if i got a new impact site, pulling out clear too teal glass under glacial till.

Scammers NEED TO BE STOPPED AND CALLED OUT, ASAP!

P. T. Barnum quipped "there's a sucker born every minute". But, not all are, most don't know/have ENUF information.

Those look like different colored marbles. They did get it partly right, mold. Not Moldavite.

Moldavites are also Created due to Lightning Strikes, aren't they? As in when Lightning Strikes into Southwestern United States Desert areas, high in iron content. I have been told that B4 from Gemologists.

You took down my comment because ? Check before you make assumption.

Thank you for posting this! Very informative and helpful. Keep up the good work.

O this was great . Thank you. Do you ever get to go to Tucson.?

Good vid. I bought mine 20 years ago... and even then, there was what I called "Indian drop glass" that people tried to pass. It wasn't very realistic, but they tried to imitate the texture and shape by gravity and rapid cooling. If you want some, go to a regional gem and mineral show (Springfield MA is coming up in a month from this writing) and bring a loupe... and USE it!

I found some beautiful apple Green in the Colorado River Colorado

Amazing

Can you do a video on a mastodon bone?

I'm a Pisces, and Moldavite is one of the worst crystals for pisces (least compatible, making Pisces wander in thought). So I never bother acquiring one

Why do you assume 112 people didn't know it was enhanced? I sell this material and tell my customers everything about the enhancement. You make this material sound like it is inferior or just made to scam. It is one of the prettier materials available, and not every seller is a "dirtbag." They are natural agates. Semantics

A Beautiful Creation.

WOW!!! YOU CAN CAB!!!
