#Gemstone Identification Guide

DID YOU GUESS CORRECTLY⁉️😎

💎 IOLITE is another gemstone that falls on my list of under appreciated gems, or gems that many people just don’t know about! Iolite is the gem form of cordierite and is a violet blue gemstone which is just stunning in its highest qualities. 💎 Iolite is sometimes called “water sapphire” by gem dealers and it does look like a more violet blue sapphire or a more blue toned tanzanite. Its is harder than Tanzanite but not nearly as hard as sapphire. 💎Iolite is a strongly pleochroic gemstone which means the colors appear different in when the gem is viewed at different angles. When looking at some Iolite material, the stone can appear yellow or even completely clear in certain directions. Gem cutters must take this into consideration when fashioning a stone so that it shows up with strong and consistent color. 💎 Iolite had also been referred to as “Viking’s Compass” as it was used by Nordic explorers to filter the sun, acting like a polarizing filter. . . . . . . #instagramhacks #gemfacts #gemstonefacts #gemwisdom #geminfo #gemoftheday #dailygem #gemologyrocks #reels #explorepage#iolite #cordierite #vikingscompass #watersapphire #sapphire #tanzanite #instagems #gemsofinstagram #birthstones #gemstonesofinstagram #ihavethisthingwithgems #ibetchadidntknow #gemnerd

WHAT IS THIS STONE? Let’s identify this gemstone with me ✨ Gem identification isn’t guesswork — it’s science 🔬 Back when I was studying at the gemological institute, my colleagues and I loved to guess what a gemstone was before testing it...and you wouldn’t believe how often we were wrong 😅 That’s why, as a gemologist, I always double-check my assumptions using proper tools and lab equipment. Because when it comes to gem identification, even the most beautiful stone can surprise you ✌🏻 #gemologist #gemidentification #gemstone #gemologygeek #gemologistlife #igi #gemlover #gemologyobsession #tanzanite #gemstonejewellery #gemfluencer #lordofthegem

Day 44/75 becoming an Accredited Gemologist ~ Synthetic & Treated Gem Identification (module 2 of my course). Asterism is a phenomenon displayed in certain gemstones, most commonly Corundum, when cut in cabochon. I was inspired to make this video based on a DM I got asking whether it was possible to make synthetic start sapphires… and here is confirmation that it is! Synthetic Star Corundum is grown through the Verneuil process (aka flame fusion) and interestingly the original boule will not display any phenomenon but needs to go through treatment to produce it. If you don’t have any equipment to check (because we sadly can’t travel with our microscopes 😭), good indicators / orange flags are: - clean and good body colour - symmetrical dome without excess weight beneath - very sharply defined star Let me know what other stones you want me to cover while I study synthetics and treatments 🔬 #gemmologyobsession #semipreciousstones #gemlover #gemstones #gemidentification #gemfacts #accreditedgemologist #syntheticcorundum #syntheticruby #starsapphire #starruby #asterism #flamefusion

Do you agree or I am missing something 🤔? The 4Cs (color, carat weight/size, cutting, clarity) are my recipe for beauty 💯 However, I think BEAUTY and RARITY are two different things that can make a gemstone desirable✨ This is why I didn't include "origin" of a stone in the video...sometimes, it impacts the 4Cs but not always And honestly, if the stone is ugly...I don't care if it is rare 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ #opinion . . . . . #gemology #rulestoliveby #colorstone #4c #sapphires #sapphire #gems #gemstone #gemstones #vlog #vlogs #dailyvlog #finegems #jewelry #jewellry #rules
