Some type of rutile??
Awesome gems
Have there been any other colours found? The ones displayed all seem to have a blueish background, but as sapphires come in all colours I was wondering if more had been found. Specifically as ruby(or “pink” sapphire) is closely related I’m wondering if red or pink has been found? ofc I do realise that just because they’re basically the same mineral, doesn’t mean that the formation of the gold sheen asterism is also gonna be conducive to the formation of pink/red stones as well, not to mention that ruby is the rarest corundum colour. That would be stunning en cabochon I think tho, if they were to be found.
I want one
Well that is exiting
New gemsona opportunities?
Is this mohs scale 9?
Reminiscent of smudgy bronze asterism, available from North Carolina to China. More readily available than transparent corundum, although I would suppose one location has it’s own specific idiosyncrasies.
Glad to see a new video from you. I have just recently taken an interest in mineral mining/cutting and found your channel. You make wonderful quality videos and I really like the support you show for the workers on the front line. Thanks for the quality content!
Am I wrong or do I see a star in some of them?
Where can I buy this gold sheen sapphire? I’m very interested in investing in this stone
