Ok there is a lot to correct here, particularly in terms of identifying signs for rubies/sapphires. 1) Quartz is not necessarily an indicator! Quartz is almost in every stream. As a matter of fact, in the primary deposit, quartz will not be found with corundum, as corundum forms in silica-poor rocks. This is because any silica will absorb the aluminum to create alumina-silicates like feldspar and mica. 2) Shale is NOT an associate with corundum. Shale is a sedimentary rock. Corundums do not form in sedimentary rock, and if they are found in sedimentary rock it would most likely be a conglomerate. Also that “mica schist” example in 3:20 is not actually schist- it’s a mica bearing pegmatite. Speaking of which…. 3) Most pegmatite is also NOT an indicator for corundum. There is sapphire-bearing pegmatite, however that is very VERY rare, and those pegmatites have no quartz. Also most pegmatites, being granitic in nature are silica rich, which goes back to my point #1 4) It’s spelled “gneiss” and “gneisses” respectively. Also it has to be the correct gneiss. Gneiss with quartz = no corundum. 5) 4:05 is spelled “zoisite” and pronounced “zow-uh-site”. Also that green ruby-zoisite is endemic to Tanzania- it’s not found anywhere else in the world. So unless you live in Tanzania, that tip is useless. Elsewhere, you’re more likely to find ruby with fuchsite. 6) 4:21 No (in the vast majority of cases), maybe, and definitely NO. There are very rare volcanics that have corundum xenocrysts, but that is extremely rare. For example, there is basalt bearing sapphire xenocrysts in Burma, and Montana sapphires come as xenocrysts from a lamprophyre. However, other than that, forget about it. Yes, certain marbles may have corundum. This will depend on the temperature and pressure conditions as well as other regional factors. As for granite, granite = quartz-rich, which goes back to point #1. Some syenites or diorites, however may bear corundum. Syenites and diorites look like granites, but are silica-poor and tend to be feldspar-rich.

[@Darknimbus3]

@@solverfix Well, if you’re in the USA, then North Carolina is probably your best bet for finding rubies. But even then, you have to look in the correct areas, namely Franklin area. Sapphires may also be found in North Carolina, as well as Montana. In North Carolina, the sapphire is more widespread than the rubies. In fact, remember I mentioned sapphire-bearing pegmatites? Well there happens to be one in Canton County from what is known as the “Old Pressley Mine”. It’s just as I described- lots of feldspar (albite) and muscovite, some other neat minerals like apatite and zircon- but no quartz!

[@denisweimer8791]

Many of those jagged-looking stones shown in this video are not rubies, but are rhodolite garnets that occur sometimes in alluvial gravels alongside the corundum. Rubies and sapphires have a completely different cleavage and luster. I'm guessing a number of these were screened at the Mason Mountain mine in Franklin, NC, as the garnet looks identical to the ones found there. It is true that many gemstones can be found in granite pegmatites, but corundums are rarely one of them. And I think the rest of the inaccuracies were covered by Darknimbus3's comments below. With matters of science, accuracy is important.

No mention of heat treating sapphires. If X-amount of heat is applied to a sapphire the color usually changes. It also sets that color. A heated sapphire, in, for example, a ring, that has been taken in for repairs, can withstand the heat needed for the repair without changing the color of the sapphire. A non-heat treated sapphire must either be pulled or protected, from the heat needed for the repair or the sapphire will change color. And the owner will be very upset. When you find a sapphire that appears to show a certain color, after heat treating, can become a completely different color. If you choose to not heat treat your finds it is a good idea to tell any jeweler working on it that it is a non-heat treated stone so they know to protect it. There by avoiding an unwanted color change. Sapphires, like diamonds, can take the direct heat of a torch.

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

So… i have a question, i am unsure if you would even be able to help me too much, but here it goes: a few years back i found a beautiful stone in a river that glowed like tropical ocean water. I figured that it was an old piece of glass and brought it home. Well, a few years later i decided on a whim to do a few tests to see if it might be some kind of gem, not glass. In these test i used a few acids which refused to react, i did scratch tests (which proved it to be harder than chromium), and the skin (now that i look closely seems to have such a fine grain checker pattern like the ruby sample you showed. The gem is nearly eye-clear aside from the riverworn seeming (might actually be growth skin) outside, with only a couple clearer sections, and a couple teeny tiny dots floating (almost need a lens to see them) Now… here is the kicker… the gem is the size of the entirety of my thumb from the knuckle up… and about the same shape, including the strange dimple bump i have on the pad. And i have decently beefy hands. … very dirty tabblecloth math came out at *roughly 80 carats? (27mmX21mmX16mm) …the tropical blue seems to have angular diachromatism in some places that make the blue arc between deeper tropical ocean blue in the depths and a nearly platinum white at edges. Would you have any clue whatsoever as to what this might be worth, where i would go to safely deal with a company even if just for an appraisal, and possibly how i would find out about local staking/mining laws and such?

[@CaboDaNau]

Thanks for your comment. You seem to have some knowledge about this, but it's not that simple, each area has its own mining laws, if you are in the USA, which I don't have any specific knowledge about the laws, but if you don't know, I recommend that you contact jewelers in your area, if possible talk to several jewelers, they will know how to guide you. another more accurate alternative is to contact a geologist or gemologist in your region. And of course, before you make a deal, make sure you're getting a fair deal.

[@210Pyrollin]

Mineralology student here. This is isnt helpful at all. A lot of the rocks youve mentioned are common rocks. Plus rubies do not form in igneous rocks like the rocks youve mentioned like granite, basalt, and pegmatite. Usually rubies form in high temperature, high pressure metamorphic rocks rich in aluminosilicates like mica, but mica decomposes easily, so you dont see it that often. Besides "White quartz" is NOT a good indicator mineral becuase it can be found everywhere. Plus, to conform if the ruby is actually a ruby, one would need to do some tests, most likely from a gemologist IF it even looks gem grade. Finding a tumbled shard of red glass isnt a ruby. Relying on the surrounding rocks in a riverbed isnt enough to determine if it is a ruby or not, since river and their tributaries carry material from all sorts of sources.

7:58 That is an average looking Confetti orange Sunstone, which is a Feldspar. Anyways, Star Sapphire and Star Rubies that are almost see through are probably the rarest and most valuable. Like if a Papradascha Sapphire also displayed asterism, it would be far more valuable than just a regular Papradascha.
