Saw the thumbnail and thought it was a really intense variation of chess

[@sathyabelur7779]

Exactly

[@pizzutistudio]

Me too! I thought "Oh, an emerald chess set, how cool!"

[@mc4906]

Very cool, I always wondered how this was done. You can tell this gentleman really knows the craft.

[@p1nkfreud]

100% agreed, I would love to hear more of his explanations

[@Folkmarketgems.minerals]

What a cool look inside an emerald cutting factory! 😍 It's amazing to see the precision and skill required to cut and polish these beautiful gemstones. A true art form! 💎

[@juliexx1686]

This guy did such a good job explaining each step of the processing and the materials and machinery through the factory. You can tell he is an expert and probably very good at his job.

[@jinendrapatel9178]

SAMIT ji is too good & very experienced man of jewelry market...i know u very well & your nature is too good...such a great man...

[@rj14turret]

Really happy that gia taken the video of india and i can make bet its from jaipur

[@Reincarnation111]

This subject of gemstones and their processing has such fascination for me but watching these craft men's fingers in such a worn down a state, makes me think of the irony that wearer of these stones, usually for reasons of vanity, enjoys wearing and showing them off while the maker of this beautiful product virtually has no fingers left! 😢

[@AppliedCryogenics]

No respirators? I'd expect there to be a cancer risk associated with micronized silicates and chromium compounds? Stay safe, guys.

[@camiloguzman1801]

It's very important to know how a emerald is made, because that way is less likely to be rippled off by a con man or con jeweler.

[@juzzy753]

They are made in the ground and if you’re the majority of people are getting ripped off by self sourcing, trying to save a quick buck. If you go to a jewellery you will usually be buying a good quality stone and paying a fair price for them creating it into jewellery for you.

[@ieatcaribou7852]

So much work that goes into these beautiful stones.

[@danielvecchi9939]

As much as there is a lot of work to achieve in cutting an emerald very very relaxing 😌 thank you GIA for showing this.

[@user-qv1qk7qi5t]

Yes I feel 😌 nice and high and I did not need any marijuana or alcohol emeralds have that magnetic draw even when they are many thousands miles away 😂lol

Beuaty work and beuaty stones. Thank you for your video.

[@spudpud-T67]

The guy licking the stone to clear the grinding paste. I wonder what chromium oxide does to the body with prolonged consumption.

[@tatya222002]

It's a carcinogen.

Agreed! Maybe not LOTS but definitely not zero :)

[@rogerhargreaves2272]

@@littlejacquesful - I agree with you on that. Generally most Emeralds will be included, it’s very rare to get a clean one that is legitimate Emerald. Especially as it’s a member of the Beryl family of gemstones.

Emerald dust + polishing materials

Chromium oxide. They polish with it. But it’s horrifying to see these workers licking it and working without respirators or gloves. Prolonged exposure can be catastrophic.
