This was a great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge especially for people who are new to gemstones and minerals.

Your accent is really great. I can't place it but it's cute avoiding stigma of sounding creepy thanks foe the facts about this little income stream idea I had. I particularly like your easy production it's actually 👌 crisp and flowing. By all means get in touch here if ya ever want a slight upgrade with the audio I'd be happy to help from pointers (haha to return the favor hey) to cheap tweaks (even though I have no idea how this turned into a shameless self promotion rather than my original sentence summing up my commenting tonight lol) Ive also begun to offer the service as a whole audio production management package. Anywho great info package here I shall give it a post!

What do you think about gemmart and gemsbymail?

Thank you for being a moral person who cares about the well-being of others, even on the other side of the world! I also appreciate you for advising people not to do business with companies that severely take advantage of people.

I just heard a story, which happened recently about a boy in India, the oldest of several children, who wanted to help his mom. His father was dead, so life was very hard for them. One day the boy (somewhere between the age of 9-12) told his mom that he was going to do an errand for her, but instead he went to the coal mine to work to earn 75 cents! That's ALL they paid for a day's labor, but they were so poor even that would help a little. While the boy was working, there was a explosion in the mine and the boy was killed. It's so horrible that they would exploit people and especially children that way!!!

Thank you so much for your help and kindness💚💯💗🙏

I have certain ppl that mine and I have ppl that are cutters

You give good ad about it. I am just looking for some extra . It is a family company my cousin is a geologist and then one of my other cousins does a cutting I do more than designing form and I’m just looking for some certain particular things that you’re very educated.

Budget people! Broken section in mineral center is a wonderful place to find affordable arrangement of different qualities of crystals, some need tinkering but you can find beautiful treasures in there. They’ll need cleansing like any other stone- deep cleansing a new stone is good idea (you can wash really well them if they’re water proof of do whatever feels right, the point is that you want to cleans the stone from all negative and all unwanted energy for healing and the highest good of the stone, to be crystal clear to fresh start). If you have cutting and polishing equipment you might even be able to fix or shape rougher/poorly cut stones however you like, I heard one can do it with just a piece diamond sanding paper (sanding paper for stones) and stone polishing products. There are beautiful tutorials for polishing stones.

Thanx for sharing your expertise. Don’t worry about things like pronouncing words and such. You are doing a very good job of educating us. Just remember, they still put easers on pencils.

Hi Basia~ Thank you for your help! How do you know WHO is a reputable dealer when you have to order online?? I have but one gem show in my area per year. (Tucson)

Thank you so much for sharing this!!
I'm starting my own jewelry business, and unethical labour has been a huge problem in my country. I refuse to support the businesses abusing my people, and it's been a headache and a half looking for stones that aren't halfway across the world.

Thank you!

I'm looking for gemstone buyers - Can anyone help me out plz?? Thank you

I landed your page while researching buyers of amethyst, emerald and sapphire. 
Just to to say I totally enjoyed your content. Your generosity, passion and hard work are palpable and I wish you more success!

Would you happen to remember where you bought that cracked Labradorite? I buy labradorites a lot but want to make sure to stay away from that seller! Especially since I wouldn't have seen a little crack like that in a photo!

Thanks!

I’ve learned so much from you thank you so❤️💋

the extended list it's for Patreon's subscriber_

We want hear more from you

Agree with all of this, except about the citrine. Citrine IS heated amethyst. There's natural citrine, that's insanely rare, but most of it is treated amethyst. I think it's okay to call it citrine anyway because that's what it is. Just assume if it's not mentioned it's naturally occuring citrine, that it has been heat treated

what is the best reputable

Hey there thank for the video, and I like to start the gym business I have access to get it but I like to learn more about it so please are advised thanks

I bought some gems from an indian seller but didnt know of their condition until now, I feel so bad for supporting them....

Mem I am from India.we deal nature gemstone .we want to deal international.

The Mohs scale of hardness is specifically relating to scratch hardness rather than toughness, some relatively hard stones have poor toughness.
Some stones are susceptible to damage from heat/cold, others, may cleave easily requiring delicate pressure and protective settings.
Either way it's always a good idea to do a bit of personal research into any stone you intend on using before purchasing to ascertain it's suitability for the particular purpose.

Thanks so much
