    Loved this episode on the red colored specimens. 😊 Back in the 30's when my grandfather was a young man he was walking along the railroad tracks and picked up a black stone. Protruding from the stone was a dark red crystal with facets almost like a gemstone would have. As far as I know he never got it checked out but he always believed that it was a piece of coal with a garnet embedded in it. I don't know if that's right or wrong, but I have that stone now and whenever I look at it it reminds me of him and how he loved to tell the story of how he found it.

  • @jerrysstories711

    The most interesting thing about red gemstones to me is that the words we translated as "ruby" in ancient documents are words that just mean "red thing" or "piece of red" in the original language. We have no idea if they were what we call rubies or not. In fact, until spectrographic methods came along to identify specific elements, the West didn't even realize there were at least two different things we were categorizing as rubies.

  • @ruhsexperimentsgliesperimentid

    The garnet specimen is astounding! 😍😍😍

    Loved this video so much for several reasons. One, that you chose to showcase many lesser known minerals, I even learned a couple of new ones which was fun! Two, Rob and Rebecca together is always a lot of fun! So much knowledge between them and their passion for gemology really shows! They make me want to learn more about geology and gemology but most importantly they, and your other videos for that matter, makes me appreciate my current mineral collection a lot more! And three, I laughed with you Rob when the spinel got stuck on the lid!! Love your personality!

    Another Great Job You Two awesome Learned some great pointers. I purchased a ring from from Ural mts area Kazakhstan I believe Was dug up by a rural family with detector. Was a small light silver setting with a shimmering red gem of 4.5 CT’s. I believe it to be possible Ruby from Silk Road era. And area. It’s stunning. With lots of 🔥 and beautiful round radiant like 👍 cut. It’s small weight. Looks like a 2 carat diamond size. It changes from pigeon blood 🩸 to darkest maroon. Paid 20$ US. Ring was damaged and appeared burnt at one time. Also a black tar like substance I scraped off. Wheels. Of Life Turning

      @davidtyndall3786 Před 2 lety +1

    Thanks Rebecca & Rob, that was a pretty intense episode there. I must admit the Hematite got me caught off guard. I recognised the Rhodonite straight away from a previous episode Rebecca covered on the topic. I’ll have to agree with Rob on the favourite being the Rhodonite with the large Garnet specimen coming second. Great episode. ❤️ from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

  • @NataliaJuliaNowak
    @NataliaJuliaNowak Před 2 lety +4

    Truly red gemstones are quite rare. Most of the "red" stones are in fact pinkish, orangish or brownish. Look at "red jadeite" and "red aventurine" specimens. In many cases they are literally orange.

  • @loompy1440
    @loompy1440 Před 2 lety +4

    Weird coincidences. I recently found a garnet in quartz at my cabin in Idaho. Then found out there’s a rock shop in said rando mountain town and purchased a hemimorphite there despite never having heard of it until that day. Now you’re talking about all the currently relevant minerals in your new video because…. Synchronicities

    Have you all featured etched spessartine garnets yet? They're really interesting mineral specimens.
    Really liking the color episodes. Any chance on a teal episode featuring indicolite, zircon, topaz, sapphire, etc?
    I'm super picky about my red gems for some reason; it's difficult to find a "true" red that isn't orangey, pinkish, or purplish!

    As far as the red gem specimens go, one can hardly go past the lovely red spessartine garnets on gemmy red rhodonite with galena that was mined in Broken Hill, Australia.
    A close second in my mind would be some of the gorgeous ruby and spinel covered painites from the Mogok stone track in Burma
    The ruby/spinel coated painites really look quite stunning under UV light as well.
