[@purplealice]

Thank you very much, Claire! You made it easy to understand a complicated procedure.

[@Mohammed-wi6ik]

She gives such an amazing explanation. JTV, Hate off to you guys, you people always posting a worthy videos. Time worth watching. Thank you so much guys.

[@texasfossilguy]

I love how excited she got seeing the orange line on the ruby 😆 This is pretty cool!

[@cryotankexpansion]

I love, love, LOVE material identification methods and this video was a whole lot of fun to watch. Thanks, Claire!🌈

[@berthaadamson1225]

Thank you, excellent explanation. Just ordered a spectroscope so will be ready to try it when it arrives. 🌈

[@rickedwards1980]

🌈 Thank you for this video. It explained the spectroscope much better than I received in my GIA lab class. The part about the dust was exceptionally helpful as I don’t recall them saying anything about that.

[@jettnewell2367]

Love this video!! sharing your knowledge and time with us. Would love to see more of her. 🌈

Thank you Claire! Very informative.

[@malikzubic9200]

Thank you so much for this. Except for JTV, I never find a good source of advice or guidance on the internet. You guys truly help guide me into this great science. Thanks for motivating me to learn and discover more. 🌈❤

[@gayanpriyadarshana4310]

Thanks. Please do a video on how to do the basic examination through naked eye and magnifying lens. What features should we look for?

[@mashhoodahmad96]

[@carlosmosconi7931]

Excellent presentation! Which is/are the two book references that show the different spectra and the Quick Flyer, or the like! Thanks again for an excellent presentation

[@Lugermonger35]

[@luckylou79]

Thank you Claire

[@septemberangle]

Thank u so much Claire…..

[@SnowTiger45]

I would LOVE to know the Name of the Book with the Spetra images in it ? I've been looking for a good book but live on a budget as well.

[@nishchaykapoor8502]

The definition of Absorption Spectra/ Spectrum can be further simplified & kindly keep both eyes open while working with the Gemological Instruments. 💎🔬🌈

[@rosemaryskydancer7293]

where do you get the book with all of the spectrum in?

[@MikkoRantalainen]

2:30 Please, if you need to show long piece of text, do not scroll it around. It's hard to read while moving + video compression artefacts mess the text quality a lot. Static image of text is just fine.

[@1catfishuntermiller753]

Thank you Claire 🌈

[@shelbyb1608]

Love and thank you for the the info!! would love to know what brand of flashlight she's using. :)

[@zakzmcase4007]

[@laurasaikia5832]

🌈 Thank you so much for the very informative and interesting talk. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I was wondering if you would speak about the diascope? Thank you 🙏

[@gems]

Stay tuned for upcoming episodes on more gemological tools!

[@berthaadamson1225]

🌈 Thanks, excellent lesson!

[@mukunddixit]

Whic is best book to refer for prism spectroscopy?

[@sherikatz2919]

🌈 thank you for making this great video.

[@eddedwards9879]

3:18 no longer correct... the light source needs to be full spectrum most modern flashlights are leds they make a fake "white" light thats really three narrow bands of color that still activate the cones and rods in our eyes. Leds are missing most of the visible spectrum and if that spectrum falls on something you are looking for it makes a fake positive . Old incandescent flashlights dont have this issue

[@gems]

Excellent observation, Edd. Claire details the need for full spectrum lighting and the pitfalls of using LED lighting starting at 6:00.

[@lukahatake4381]

I love some more gems name and meanings.

[@CJBurgandy]

🌈Thanks for the awesome video. I kind of wonder what the other two gems were. Were they both just synthetics?

[@gems]

One was red glass, and the other was garnet!

[@lawrencekosinski-jackson613]

Thanks Claire!! 🌈🌈

[@coreymerrill3257]

Could i email a picture of my latest jtv oldstock parcel to ask what i probably have ? I know what a couple are and a few maybe...thankyou for posting this video. I am getting a dychroscope and spectroscope soon and chelsee filter asap.

[@Eclectic_RN]

Why not just use the high power fiber-optic light source, I'm sure it has an infra-red absorber so it won't heat the stones?

[@gopikrishnavarma5615]

That was so helpful

[@jacqiesmith4364]

🌈thank you.

[@TerryLawrence001]

💟🌈🙋 A great and thorough explanation.Thank You!

[@McGeeMcGeeMcGee-g7w]

Thaaaaaank you Miss Claaaaire! lol

[@filesejupin9746]

So if this method can't tell you if the gemstone is natural or synthetic what is the purpose of using any of these instruments!?! I mean did anyone else catch This this is not going to tell you if the gym is real or fake so why then I want to know why I really do...!?

[@PamelaRubel]

Synthetic is not "fake" gem, synthetic is lab made, but chemically identical to the natural mined gem, meaning they have the same chemical composition and properties, they are not fake gems, just made in a lab instead of mined. Fakes are simulants, and usually are not at all chemically similar to the real gem they are imitating, nor do they have the same proporties, can often be made of glass or other crystals unrelated to the gem it is imitating. So a synthetic corundum, is identical to natural corundum and the spectroscope will confirm this, whereas let's say a diamond and a cubic zirconia will not look the same under a spectroscope because they are not the same material.
