Alexandrite, how to lower your risk

Hey everyone, I wanted to do a quick video about alexandrite and how often fakes are sold online. Sadly, buying alexandrite is tricky business, and this video isn't the end all be all. it's a start. before buying expensive gemstones, I encourage you to do alot of research, and for real safety, go through a recognized seller who gets lab reports specifically feom GIA. and always check your reports. #gemstone #gems #gem #gemstones #alexandrite #how #jewellery #minerals #rockhounding #jewelry #crystals #minerals

[@johnsaucerhunter]

A very nice brief explanation and example of telling (for the most part). whether or not you have the real McCoy or a good facsimile of such. Cheers!

[@Celestial_Reach]

Right! I'm just trying to help people protect them selves. I need to pin a comemt telling people this isn't enough, and to do more research, reputable sources etc

It would have been nice if the natural Alexandrite's phenomenal properties could be shown

[@Celestial_Reach]

it would be! unfortunantly i dont have the kind of camera needed for that quite yet, but as soon as i do, i promise i will do an update and show exactly that, perhaps with a deep dive into the fascinating science behind the optical phenomania.

[@bobs-rocks]

Thank you for the information!

[@Celestial_Reach]

I hope it helps!

[@Mrjoshuasjourneyzzz10420]

Nice!!!!

[@Celestial_Reach]

Thank you! i just hate seeing people get scammed out of so much money. those glass stones are worth like 30$ high high retail, but people will actually sell them at over 500$.

[@ThatOpalGuy]

Saving money is useless if you aren't getting what you are buying. You get what you pay for, buy from reputable sources.

[@Celestial_Reach]

Absolutely! And jtv doesn't like getting sued, such as their mistake with andesine in the 2000s. Also, zandrite is great, I actually have several hanging around, it's a good affordable option and they got the cutting very well done

[@ThatOpalGuy]

I have bought lots of stuff from JTV, a long time ago. I have lab created alexandrite. Could never afford the natural stuff. I also have xandrite, it's great stuff.

[@Celestial_Reach]

Jtv is nice cause they don't like getting class action sued lol. And their synthetics are cut very very well. I always try to pick them up 2nd hand to save money, but yea, jtv is reliable and you will normally get what they tell you they are selling. Except that nonsense in 2008 with andesine.... which is why I don't trust andesine and sell it cheap. Cause they messed up lol
