So much more than a diamond alternative, moissanite is a gem with fascinating origins and really cool properties. What did you like about it? Let us know!

[@dragonfruitcactus559]

Shiny, durable and very affordable

[@emilypeters8888]

I have question is the lab emerald actual beryl or is some other material like corundum?, as far as liking things the side by side comparison and scientific facts that help to easily differentiate the stone is great the other parts are good to I especially enjoy gems so it’s hard for me to not like the entire thing

[@gems]

If it says "lab emerald" then it should definitely be beryl, and will almost certainly be colored green by chromium, like the most prized emeralds. I can't speak for other companies, but anything else should not be labeled as such. If it were actually corundum or any other material than beryl, then it should be labeled as "emerald simulant" @@emilypeters8888

[@kellyharper367]

Amen!

[@RudyZaragozaMusic]

If it were corundum then it would be a sapphire technically

[@emeraldcoast420]

remember kids if your just getting into the trade don't depend on just a cheap diamond tester to identify a stone always do multiple different test this stone will register as a diamond on most cheap testers

[@User9681e]

There are cvd coated moissanites and they are getting popular so use a luope and not thermal testers

[@kiro9291]

the green and the pink moissanite rings are amaaaaaaaazing

[@dcallan812]

Very interesting. My take on Moissanite cut stones is, if your going t buy a manmade diamond get a Moissanite . You might as well go full "fake". Lots more bang for your buck, more sparkle and a bigger size for the same price. As a gemstone collector I might add Moissanite to my collection only as an example of manmade material.

[@User9681e]

Man made have the best clear stones but all nice ones like opal that have inclusions are great natural

[@Baseball4Life-]

@dcallan812 nice opinion bro lol

[@Call-me-Al]

When I will buy a labmade diamond in the future it won't be a cut one, and the moissanite would not work as replacement since I want a natural coarse octagon diamond shape. I don't care for cut and polished diamonds, but the coarse crystal shapes really suit my preferences. I want lab moissanite for moissanite reasons and lab diamonds for diamond reasons. They two gems are not interchangeable for me.

[@largent45]

This was a great episode. I never knew much about moissanite, and it is a really beautiful stone. And the light dispersion is the seller for me! And the hardness! It really is just an amazingly beautiful gemstone! And definitely one that's been overlooked for too long! Thanks for the education; I always learn so much from you guys! Thanks ❤️!

[@gems]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rogerhargreaves2272]

Absolutely beautiful Moissanites there, could pick a favourite faceted stone as they all had different characteristics. Loved the Meteorite, my friend got me a Meteorite from their gift shop when he visited the crater a few years ago.

[@fennynough6962]

The Metorite, is my favorite, as the rarity, & oddity, combined, with the scientific, & mysterious!☄️

[@melaniabladeofmiquella]

I'm going to say it. We all know it. The real gems are... the knowledgeable presenters !

[@heidicameron878]

I love the yellow moisenite the carborundum looks like a beautiful geode. I wear moisenite all the time I’d love to get a yellow one!!

[@watsisname]

Great episode. I loved the hexagonal crystals in that gigantic chunk! As for moissanite vs. diamond, for me it's not about trying to simulate diamond -- it just has so much more fire and brilliance that I rather like to think of it as gemstone of its own. Almost like rutile, but hard and durable enough to wear. And the colors they're available in are stunning. A while back you also featured TurtlesHoard's gemonstones on the channel, and they had an incredible dichroic yellow/blue moissanite -- easily the prettiest version of it that I've ever seen. :)

[@philodendron6]

Another perfectly presented video!

[@kameronmatthews2022]

I’ve only recently been introduced to Moissanite, having one Moissanite ring in my collection, but after watching this I’ve purchased another one to add to my collection, it’s an 8ct Ascher Cut Moissanite ring. Blows my mind that I can afford such a large size stone! Nothing shines like a diamond, but nothing also shines like a Moissanite 💎✨💎✨💎✨💎 I’ve also recently gotten my hands on a beautiful Carborundum specimen, it’s just stunning!

[@tamiddy]

Can I ask where you got your 8ct ring from? :0

[@isiriscasiano3719]

I have a big sphere of jasper & 2 duck-size eggs that I thought were agates, but now I know they're jasper! Thank you.

[@barbjalcorn]

Sapphire has been my favourite gem for many many years but I’ve got to say, I’m really loving Moisanette. Never been a fan of Diamond, sorry but true! Great video girls 🇦🇺❤️

[@9fiveb180]

Great job you two.

[@gems]

Thanks!

[@LucretiaPearl]

My crow brain likes all the shinies, but the moissanite just makes my shiny loving heart extra happy!

[@de4no_the_dino348]

I didn't know it came from space. That's cool.

[@Imjustacatlady]

The dark stone is beautiful. 😍

[@rainbowstar2775]

Those colored moissanite is a great alternative to colored diamonds and I know where to buy them for just a few dollars per carat.

[@disappearingangel4972]

I love the dispersion! So very shiny! 😍 🤩

[@LostWithoutHer]

I'd love to see a comparison clip comparing Peacock Ore vs. Carborundum. I have a massive block of one but, not entirely sure which one. Generally, both of those look like they're CVD coated like a Mystic Topaz or Mercury Mist type of product. Thanks in advance! (Casey G is awesome. Why? Because I've watched her amazingly fast evolution as a host.....and we're both from the same part of L.A.!)

[@KrosanBeast315]

Synthetic Moissanite's Specific Gravity is only 0.30 less than Diamond's Specific Gravity. Most people can't tell the difference in weight. Diamond's SG vs Cubic Zirconia's SG is noticeable.

[@iamthejad]

On the same day, I got 2 moissanite eternity bands. The odds! Up and down pear set cut crushed ice 🧊 Emerald Cut color D

[@aprilmeowmeow]

my wedding/engagement ring (we just used one 😅) is moissanite. It was much cheaper than diamonds and my husband was thrilled that i didnt want a diamond, lol

[@prettybird1978]

Can you do one with moissanite, natural zircon and diamond in the future? That asher cut ring is incredible. Is it for sale?

[@gems]

It is for sale! www.jtv.com/product/moissanite-10k-yellow-gold-ring-11-17ctw-dew-/MSJ598B?mcid=XSOyoutube0000373...we'll see what we can do!

[@dwarvenaled]

I got some different kinds of stones too. I have no clue what some is, others are diamonds.

[@user-nw5ml7lr2b]

Snow white ❤!!! Is prettier than the stones!!!! Shes so pretty im jealous!!!! Hands down the most beautiful girl at JTV!!!!!!!! She really does look like the snow white princess!!!!!!!!❤

[@berthaadamson1225]

Nice discussion of Moissanite. Would have been interesting to compare dispersion of a green one with a demantoid garnet I object less to manmade moissanite because it is a stone almost impossible to find in nature so you always know you are getting manmade. And considering what you have to pay for a diamond of equivalent clarity and size you should be buying from a reputable source that won’t try to substitute fraudulently.

[@gems]

Good suggestion! Maybe next time. I will say, having had both in unboxings in the past, it was much easier to get spectral colors out of the green moissanite than it was from the demantoid.

[@davidsandoval2114]

These videos are similar to a grab bag of rocks from a local thrift store. You never know what tidbits of information you may find inside. Are these meteors from canon diablo always shiny like the one presented in the video. Could some samples have less sheen? How much are they worth approximately? Thank you to anyone who takes the time and effort to offer some feedback.

[@davidsandoval2114]

How would one discern the difference between conch pearls and angel skin coral?

[@fahadnazir945]

I hae recently buyed 1 crt mosonite in just 6.6 dollars its super cheap alternative to diamond

[@bodapatiyathishkumar5249]

How quartz crystal can be sell

[@claudejackson8943]

Is it possible to get natural moissanite to facet into a gemstone?

[@berthaadamson1225]

My understanding is that natural moissanite is not only extremely rare but found in extremely tiny sizes. I imagine if a crystal was ever found large enough to facet we would be talking Sotheby’s Auction House prices.

[@claudejackson8943]

@@berthaadamson1225 oh ok lol doesn't sound ideal for my budget

[@gems]

It is practically impossible. I've been told, in the past, that the sum total of natural moissanite discovered wouldn't make a pair of earrings. I've heard of some recent discoveries that would overrule that, but still we're talking so ridiculously rare it would probably be straight to the museum.

[@claudejackson8943]

@@gems I see. That's a shame I know there's the lab grown ones but it would be cool to get one that's been in space!

I didn't care for the tone of this video. It came across like a cheesy sales show. I prefer more focus on the science behind the material.

I dont care for your tone either ? Go and watch a full doc then, there is plenty of science here enough to satisfy our interest

Ok, I normally don't click if I don't see Rebecca or Rob on the thumbnail but this was a really good vid and very interesting info for a well-educated geology student! Thank you for some genuinely new to me information ❤️ Every time I think I know it all cuz I have 200 credit hours under my belt... 😂

[@SharpAssKnittingNeedles]

And I know the gemologists are going to jump down my geologist throat about this, but good lerd is that parcel of moissonites way more beautiful than any diamond! Debeers bs aside, most of the simulants are better than diamond. If I had 200 to blow on something other than textbooks 😭 I'd jump on that just to look at it in person. So beautiful 🥰

[@aprilmeowmeow]

​@SharpAssKnittingNeedles I agree. they're fine presenters but I really love rough specimens etc. It's hard to find any content on them that aren't spiritual BS.

[@SharpAssKnittingNeedles]

@@aprilmeowmeow Yes to the generally spiritual BS 😂 They mention it on this channel but really they're all about the data because that's the only way to be a successful business in a rational world

[@SharpAssKnittingNeedles]

@@aprilmeowmeow That's why I love Rebecca (still don't know if I'm spelling her name right 😬) cuz she's more geologist than gemologist and tends to get more excited about the rough than the polished, but when she goes crazy about a faceted thing or whatever it's for a good reason and so do I lol
