    That saphire is valued at 35k and still on shelf looking at the Tanzinite wondering if it's still relevant. Times change and saphire is found everywhere "not rair" and Tanzinite well we all know the story. Coloured stones, well rarity is in mind and people are getting smarter. Diamonds are failing because internet has educated people and the industry scam is over. True value and rarity with beauty that connects with them "that's what" they want. A lot of oloured stone's are a lot rairer and as beautiful. Tanzinite yes Saphire l say no a big no and a reason. Simple it's the more rairly found stone and limited. 35k is only a number not a "real price" it's a valuation on a market led industry. There are more tricks and manipulations in this trade than any I've known. So educating yourself about gemstones is essential people.Great vidio and it's only my opinion. I would "not" buy an Emerald over a Tsavorite either it's a new world and a gem change is happening. Cheers.

      I mostly agree with your premise and see the value in tsavorite and tanzanite and a whole list of other rare gems. I do like sapphire which is still the number one selling gem. Hard to get over its durability and wide variety of colors and still generally affordable. That said you can see from my website that I generally agree with your statement.

    Tanzanite all the way since my favorite colour is purple based.

    I have both and adore them both. It is best to wear tanzenite in ear rings or a pendant due to its softness.

    I'm curious to see what steam cleaning a tanzanite would do to it. I couldn't find any video of that on YT so I think you'd be the first. The only thing that could possibly surpass that would be an entire video of the damage or unintended changes that could occur to all susceptible gemstones, from A to Z. It would be a 'how not do things' video with potential to 'break the internet' as they say. 😲

      An interesting thought. It would be a costly video I’m sure.

      @@Moregems I would wager a bet you could get parcels of colored gemstones from a pawn shop for shockingly low prices for a video like this. Not like they need to be large stones to get the point across. Pawn shops about give away colored stones

    Dun mean to rain on your parade but blue sapphire like / lab diamond are another possible source to consider for new generation jewelry because of its hardness and durability and price point.

    So saunas and hot showers are not recommended for tanzanite wearers?

    • @Moregems
      @Moregems  Před 5 měsíci +2

      If you body can take it tanzanite should also take it. Careful with putting the turkey in the oven.
