Gambling on Stones - The lure of stones

[@gaurtaukwhiteangel5779]

you should use a pen laser, it lights up the inside of rock. and the small rocks have different weights, pick up white jade in one hand, green jade in the other, if you can feel weigh, you will feel the difference. I have been hunting rocks since 8 yrs old am now 65, I have studied crystallography, geology, mineralogy, an have studied at gia, through the yrs. I have picked up many ways to distinguish different ways to tell what is under the crust of a rock, what i give you here is a fraction, of weight to tell the different gems underneath. May your deity walk with you every day of your lives.

[@pauls5745]

yes, they do all that, but opaqueness is not always a clue to inner quality. the lower grade stone can cover or mask some nice stone inside. they also measure its volume by water displacement and then density by weight for volume. despite the best appraisal, it's a judgement call by the experts and still buyers are left with worthless stone or a treasure

[@gaurtaukwhiteangel5779]

@@pauls5745 yes I know about specific gravity, I hold certificates from GIA in diamond grading, an colored stone grading, I also do carving an Lapidary, am fluent in crystallography, mineralogy, an geology, been doing most of this since I was 8 years old, am now 65

[@308_Negra_Arroyo_Lane]

With so much technology available nowadays, I can't believe that there isn't a method to determine the stone's composition.

[@BleedingLiar17]

I agree, it's baffling

[@kickassvideos5469]

I think even with very primitive techniques you can know if at least something is inside the stone. Just put the stone in a full bucket of water, the water spilled will be the volume of the stone, then you compare the weight of the stone with the volume to get the density, if the density differes frrom the one of stone you know there is something inside.

i fell in love with jade the first thing I saw it. It's so powerful and youll get mesmerized by it. You'll feel vitalized when you have it. I'm not even chinese only 1/4.

[@GHMinerals]

Been in the gemstones business for over 28 years. Jade is just hype. I have gems that are so much more “gemmy” than jade.... take rhodochrosite, emerald, garnet, tanzanite, I can go on

[@julianflores2050]

Tanzanite is where its at

[@shailendraattri7927]

diamond is also the most useless stone built on a hype

[@Joifansclub]

Historical Significance. With the rise of the Chinese middle class Jade is going to be booming.

It is relatively easy to get a core sample that does minimum damage to the stone ... it's absolutely ridiculous to spend hundreds of thousands on a pure gamble !!!

Cut or uncut means cheaper or expensive. Usually this is how water melon is sold or bought in the market which is also a gambling.

[@saimqadir2726]

Taqi Muhammad 😂😂😂💯💯😎

[@lincolnthinking]

what is a fair estimate, the rough difference in cost, by percentage between overt and covert buying of jadeite ? perhaps a magnitude of 500 to 800 percent ?

[@goldcambodia]

Great!

[@86Corvus]

To shatter the illusion a bit, the 800000 yuan investment the guy ended up with 200000 yuan from was 126 usd down to 31 usd, not really a high stakes gamble...

[@dadoonerm]

Never understood fascination with jade. Personally I think it’s ugly, opals are my gem of choice but to each there own

[@VanSaused]

The reason for this is usually its historical significance in the East and its usage back then. Jade is worth much more than Gold solely because of the wealthy's love for it and giving it a symbolism for it. Hence the saying along the lines of "Gold has a price, but Jade is priceless".

[@markrouse2416]

Like most gambling the little guy does not have a chance. Trusting anything coming out of Myanmar as to what mine it is from is nuts.

[@drpk6514]

I buy collect and sell stones, but I couldn’t bring myself to get into jades. I know people consider it beautiful and it certainly is, but many much more beautiful stones than jade even in green and far cheaper. Jade has turned into obsession based on culture not value...

乡下收古董珠宝的老杨 I am already tired of jadite forever. Yes it is beautiful and gemmy and rare. They can keep it all. Give me river worn nephrite any day. I find my own and it makes my heart sing. Jadite is prized by business men and investors, nephrite is prized by sages, and the ancients and those who appreciate its more subtle qualities.

[@jadekayak01]

The only reason you call it gambling on stones is because the buyers are miserable suckers who are to tigjt to buy stones that have already been cut open to display a portion of the quality. The only winner is the seller.he gets paid every time. Sometimes the buyer gets a good stone but most dont
