Youre awesome. Happy new year

[@delexusgems9820]

Love the way you explain bro

[@gems]

Thanks!

[@largent45]

A fantastic video for us budding gemologist or the ones already in the know. Where do we buy these more obscure kinds of loupes and how much shou,d we expect to pay? Thanks for this information!

[@unpopuIaropinion]

Can you please make a video on microscopes for gemology ?

[@seasickviking]

A great list to start off with. I might have included a sheet of black velvet or portable magnifying glass (in addition to the loupe) in my recommendations, but that's just me.

[@patriciahammes5574]

This is a great start! Thank you! I'm in NC so there is an abundance of gemstones to hunt. Question: How do you remove shist from garnets? I've been doing it by hand with jewelry tools, but my.hands are killing me! Thanks again!

[@1catfishuntermiller753]

Hiya guys, awesome video, I tell people this all the time.....get a jewelers loupe when your starting out to become a Rockhound, so you can identify your stones. Because you can see things that you can't see with the necked eye. That's the best advice I can give to anyone who wants to look at gemstones.

[@johnmorgan1483]

What about the spectrum lizer

[@AJShiningThreads]

Could you do one covering the history of gems? Like when they were discovered and what their old names were?

[@johnmorgan1483]

Spectrograph, (spectral scope)?

[@hayestweed7143]

What am I supposed to see in the graph paper?

[@pigeonbloodruby5330]

The lines shouldn't be distorted ie curved.

[@rhondaclark5335]

Tell me how to check to see if my stone is an alexandrite

[@topcatcoast2coast579]

Thanks for making yous guys content. 😹

[@leenahammad1491]

Thank you. Can you talk about spectroscope and how to know the diffrent spectrums for the different Gems. Is there any relatable source that one can use as a reference ?

[@shalah5003]

Good videos all of your uploaded but i tried to connected with you but i don't know how to get you in my goals.

[@favonivsfreiheit5881]

Any suggestions for the pen light?

[@TheBrandonbrinkley]

Cool

Hi I really like this content and I want to subscribe to this channel, but I'm finding the music to be very distracting in all of the videos. It's not that the music is bad music, whoever is making it is a good musician, nice upbeat vibes. I like it, just not for these kinds of videos. Removing the music would make this content more accessible to myself, neurodivergent, and otherwise more sensory sensitive people. Which tbh I think thats a lot of people who are into rocks and minerals. Thanks!

[@Nicht-die-Mama]

Rob, I like you, but actually I want to see Rebecca on this channel
