Tom brought us some really cool stuff we had not seen before! What was your fave? Would you like to see more from this collection? Let us know!

[@realcourte]

Demantoid, their fire is CRAZY!

[@lorawaring883]

More please!

[@kaiyote7924]

8:34 crystalized cognac

[@snufkinhollow318]

I'm a goat farmer and with a blithe disregard for the fact that I'm in Ireland not Ethiopia, I'm going opal hunting on my land tomorrow! Loved this collection of stones.

[@bluexwings]

Green garnets (of all kinds) are some of my favorite stones! They're just so vibrant and striking!

[@bethlovesthings]

Yes please never stop sharing 💎💎💎

[@tott3457]

Beautiful pieces! QUESTION??? Do you have a video on how you clean SPECIMENS? Would love to know!

[@bluexwings]

Very fun to see some uncommon specimens!

[@seanlove3578]

Fantastic! I love the variety in garnet.

[@lorawaring883]

WOW. Beautiful stones and stories. Thanks guys. GREAT to see you again.

[@nml5536]

Thank you for giving us more closer looks. I wish I could have seen that peridot though. :)

[@kronosis2767]

Some incredible pieces! The tsavorite garnet is stunning

[@catienoble3191]

These are all so beautiful! I would love a part 2! You guys should also do a video on the craziest gemstone discovery stories

[@MT_800]

That taaffeite was super neat. Would love to see a video on both taaffeite and musgravite. :)

[@LostWithoutHer]

To quote Count Dracula "Fang-tastic!" The rare and exotics are always my favorites.

[@texasceechelle]

Awesome. I hadn’t heard of a lot of these!

[@donnakawana]

I learn so much!! Thanks!!

[@Algoldprospecting]

Awesome pieces 😊

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

Nice pieces ❤

[@BangleWish]

Oh no. It's Home Shopping Network now.

[@the1dud]

I'd like to see a lake superior agate session! Cool specimines.

[@gparker546]

That ruby. Do want.

[@barbaraeidinger6826]

Yeah, show more! These are very special. BTW Nice to see the ponytail gone. You and Rob are smart, cool and look great without the pseudo-hipster hair.

[@hybridgoth]

Lovely lazurite specimen 👍 Tis a pity that the euclase didn't display the iconic light blue colour it's so often prized for, having said that, it would still be nice to pick up a specimen with some decent inclusions for microscopic analysis. Very tempting...😉

[@ZaDussault]

Tom really feels like a gem seller. He present gemstones to sell them tu us. He might be very good at it, but I think it gives a cold impression in videos instead of just gem passion and love, it's a bit more calculating. I don't hate it, I just feel more like watching infomercials than gemstone content

[@aprilmeowmeow]

I agree! It doesn't feel like a hobby when he's presenting things for some reason lol

[@DodgyPigeon]

I disagree with your assessment that Tom gives a cold impression. Having watched his JTV Extra shows or guest spots with show hosts, his passion for gems is unmistakably genuine and candid. Just a reminder: these videos are produced by a BUSINESS whose intention is to SELL things.

[@juliet1312]

What wavelength of UV light do you use to see the florescence with ruby (etc.)? Or is it any UV light?

[@gems]

We typically show our gems in longwave UV light, which is 315-400nm. That is what we used here. More gems will show fluorescence in shortwave UV, but it is dangerous to look directly at, so we rarely use it for our videos.

[@suyamamalalasekera8015]

Woah.. 🎉

[@realcourte]

I want them all. 😆 Oups my wallet is not thick enough 😅🤣 Have an happy year guys!

[@tater6573]

How do I get pictures to you all ?

[@balaykijan5809]

Aquamarine' from my area

[@AJShiningThreads]

❤❤❤❤

[@Nervii_Champion]

Really want to know how much that pale Taaffeite sold for

[@cherylj7460]

What a find for that Ethiopian to find the opals!

[@andersonrodriguez9054]

I was hoping to see some trapiche emerald

[@gems]

Stay tuned...

[@fennynough6962]

It would seam that every gem spins off of Quartz, right?

[@Byrdznyst]

Have a Spesertine With Watt Lookz Like Smoke N It.. Eye Like It *

[@annamerie6581]

How much are you selling for

[@gems]

Check the description!

[@abrahamgomez1166]

Wow there is definitely more than 1000cts in clinohumite 😂 ive faceted so many and know there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of carats of facet grade pieces out there

[@pcpc1179]

That afghanite is amazing

[@beartutor3377]

[@stevetait8878]

Nice presentation...for the FEW SPECIMENS WE SAW. Next time guys, SHOW ALL THE SPECIMENS, NOT JUST SOME.
