Finally something about Prehnite. I know a place wher Prehnite makes 30% of the beach and local people walk over it.

Thank you Natalie, Elizabeth and JTV for another amazing episode! More more more!! :)

As a materials engineer and jewelry maker I really appreciate this content.

[@wendyshaw6985]

Elizabeth, remind me of what SGR is? The Natural History Museum of San Diego had a great display of the crystal systems. Maybe try building the model with toothpicks or straws to show how that paper idea would cut through the system. Thank you for making the orthorhombic system easier to understand. Always has been difficult for me to understand this system.

Hi Wendy. The SGR is the Sisk Gemology Reference, which is a three-volume reference collection focusing on gemstones and minerals. It's the legacy of the late Jerry Sisk, one of JTV's original founders. We refer to it often on this channel. If you're interested, here's a link to the SGR. www.jtv.com/gemstones/sisk-gemology-reference

I feel like I'm taking geometry all over again in 10th grade... Lol 😣😄😂

[@whentheimposterissus5744]

tetragonal next time? pretty interesting minerals you can find there, like cassiterite, carletonite, chalcopyrite, maybe autunite if you live dangerously.

[@karengarcia8587]

Once again just like the last video about this topic, it's very fascinating. Good review and see you later.🙂👍💎

[@sehtfawks3766]

This KZbin channel has helped me get more into Gemology, now I'm working towards IGS certification, then (after saving up a LOT more) hopefully a G.G degree from GIA. I love learning more about gemology from this channel, I implore y'all to make more videos like this! Probably my favorite JTV video of all time, and I've binged almost every video on the channel

[@idonthaveaname42]

Whats the difference between dispersion and scintillescence?

[@helenaziegler6005]

I LOVE OLIVINE.

[@deborahduthie4519]

I would appreciate seeing all of the gems cut or specimens, on a rotating plane and not the movement in tweezers or fingers. Some are but others not. Much appreciated . 💎

[@pencapchew42]

Love these videos but there’s no way they don’t know what the topic is going to be before opening the “mystery box”.
