The tricky side of gemstones nobody expected… Scammers can be very creative… Selling fake rubies made out of brake lights, green gems from a beer bottle… Imagine paying thousands for broken glass?!

🔍💎 Can You Tell Which Red Gem Is Which? 💎🔍 Our students took on a real gem challenge today — identifying five look-alike red stones using only gemological instruments! They compared natural ruby, spinel, tourmaline, rhodolite garnet, and synthetic ruby, testing each one with: 💡 Polariscope for optic character 💧 Refractometer for RI readings 🔬 Microscope for inclusions ⚖️ Hydrostatic balance for specific gravity It was a true test of observation and skill — and a fun reminder that not all red gems are what they seem! ❤️ #GemClass #GemologyStudents #GemstoneChallenge #AIGSSchool #AIGSLab #GemstoneLearning #GemEducation #GemSchool #GemLab #GemologistInTraining

Garnet or Ruby? What You Need to Know #gemstones #ruby #burmeseruby #jewelry #ringmaking

Gemstone facts bet you didn't know with @fantaseajewelry 💎 Ruby and sapphire are actually the same gem! Both are varieties of the mineral corundum, with different trace elements creating the different colors. When corundum is red (colored by chromium) it’s called Ruby, when it is any other color, including colorless, it’s called sapphire. 💎 Sapphire comes in many different colors, like purple, pink, yellow, orange, green, and even colorless, color change and bi-color! The only color it doesn’t occur in is red - because that would be Ruby. 💎 Other well known “gem families” include the beryl family, which includes emerald, aquamarine, morganite and heliodor (or golden beryl). Amethyst and citrine are both gem varieties of quartz, and moonstone and labradorite are both varieties of feldspar. 💎 The garnet group is a little different! But we'll share the details on that one in a later video 🤓 . . . . . #instagramhacks #gemfacts #gemstonefacts #gemwisdom #geminfo #gemoftheday #gemfactfriday #zircon #gemologyrocks #bluezircon #decemberbirthstone #reels #ruby #sapphire #corundum #explorepage #instagems #gemsofinstagram #birthstones #gemstonesofinstagram #ihavethisthingwithgems #ibetchadidntknow #gemnerd

Natural ruby ? But “natural” doesn’t always mean untreated — or valuable. Here’s what the tests revealed ⬇️ 🔍 Refractive Index 1.77 → exactly where corundum should be 🔍 Polariscope Blinking during rotation → doubly refractive → consistent with ruby ⚖️ Specific Gravity Calculated at 3.95 → slightly below typical natural ruby → first sign something might be off 🔬 Microscope Amphibole crystals → proof of natural origin But also: • Blue flashes at certain angles • Flattened gas bubbles • Fractures filled with glass These are clear indicators of glass-filling treatment. 🔦 Long-wave UV Bright red glow → intensified by the glass content Final verdict: 💎 Natural ruby — glass filled This treatment significantly lowers the stone’s value and often falls outside acceptable trade standards. 👉 Follow to see how I identify every stone that comes through my hands. #gemstones #joalysparis #garnet #tsavorite

💎 From Stone to Truth — Gem Identification in Action! 🔍 Ever wondered how professionals identify whether a ruby is natural or synthetic? Here’s a sneak peek into the real gem testing process 👇 ✨ Step-by-step identification using: 🔹 Refractometer – to check refractive index 🔹 Polariscope – to observe optic character 🔹 General observation – color, inclusions & growth patterns 🔹 Magnification – to detect natural vs synthetic features This is how gemologists read the stone’s story, not just its shine. Because every gem speaks… if you know how to listen 💎 🎓 Learn gem testing from basics to advanced 🔬 Work with real instruments 💎 Become market-ready with practical knowledge 📍Gem’s Loupe – Where learning meets expertise #gemsloupedesigninginstitute #gems #gemsandminerals #gemstones #ruby
