Unboxing Mystery Gems | What Did We Find?

[@loompy1440]

I just bought an old jar of “jewelry materials” at an antique store. Can confirm, if you’re a rockhound/ mineral collector, a container of surprise materials is an almost… intoxicating experience. Not much in this world gets me that excited. Too bad I’m broke rn lol

[@Bonnie-mc9zo]

Oh my goodness, you’re not broken you finally who you are if you happy and fooled by these people selling gems and minerals there’s tons of this around tons beyond tons

[@Bonnie-mc9zo]

That didn’t come out right but I wanted to say is you are finally cool you should be. And not believing in these people that are selling this stuff as if it’s such a great thing there’s tons and tons of this stuff

Tom is a fluorescence person. So am I, when I've sifted through parcels of random gems my favourite tool to use is my UV torch.

[@LostWithoutHer]

Tom, please post "fluorescence" clips. Love that distinguishing factor! The rectangular blue stone at the end appears to be a zircon, and the pear shaped one, a fluorite, even though sight-id is a no-no regardless of facet doubling. LOL. I can't imagine how many pieces of jewelry are destroyed just to get the gemstones out for testing. Sawing vs. prong lifter around main gemstones....hmm.

[@oscarmedina1303]

Ok. I see a parcel in my future. Thanks Preston, thanks Tom.

[@MrInsaint]

Brilliant, just brilliant💯👍💯

[@largent45]

That looks like so much fun and what a value those parcels can be! I have meny friends that are faceters that can repair a lot of that for me! I think I'm going to have to check out one of those parcels for myself! ❤ thanks guys! What an opportunity!

[@elisabethe8055]

Very fun, it could be a treasure or a bust, but still fun! Thank you for sharing!

[@lorawaring883]

The survey came...and I responded. A little later saw "gemstones live".... it wasn't you folks. It was slick, and sales . Like the jewelry shows. And those are ok but I wanted YOU. Fun and informative and yes I probably would go check out a product, but that wasn't the point of the show. So, if you could add that to survey comments....? Just a response. :)

[@gems]

Will do!

[@TheHuntrchic]

Just got mine, I can't wait to to look through it.

[@scottpeters5624]

Totally bummed out we can't buy online from UK,, Phone call orders only,, mobile call to USA cost as much as gems Can you guys do anything with website to add UK?

[@tugbatas8330]

Do you offer international shipping?

[@sightseeinginstyle8119]

Devastated that you don't ship to Australia 😭😭 Would so buy at least a couple of these if you guys did!!!

[@mman6283]

I love my gym identification equipment, but I will tell you this You need more than just a loop you need a Polaris scope, a loop a UV flashlight a refractometer which will be your best friend then you’ll be on your way if you can get a microscope, that would be cool too, but they are sort of expensive but the refractometer will tell you a bunch even though there’s a couple of more tools I’m missing you for sure. Will need some tools to positively identify the stones, but if you get the equipment buying parcels like this to make jewelry would be splendiferous. If they are not trying to play you.😂 a lot of those stones are worth more than just 100 bucks so once you set them in a piece of jewelry, you’ve made your money back

[@goldcambodia]

Hi​ friends! ❤

[@lissetteflores4469]

But when does collecting become hoarding? That is the question. Guess I'll have to get a couple of parcels and see 🎉😅

[@AJShiningThreads]

❤❤❤

[@JohnyIIOh]

05:38 censored what I bet you said was "worlds prettiest `trash`."

[@zenflow4life]

I am a little sad that they don't leave them in the settings 😢

[@birdlover7776]

Agree

[@canadiangemstones7636]

It’s because the stones are junk, the metal has value.

[@TheHuntrchic]

Aww it's a gone, I was going buy another one

[@1112Hades]

I brought a parcel gonna see what I get when it arrives

[@alexxenaosas2416]

when I heard synthetic and plastic ! ...I was like fuck this video ! :)))) I appreciate stones sry !

[@drewskifrosty5955]

Why would you give horrible advice and tell people to hydrate their opals, especially hydroplane opals? That is a very bad idea.
