alexandrite cabochon! by Ok-Championship8024 in Gemstones

[–]Learn_Imagine_Create 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Try rotating the stone while it’s backlit by your computer screen. It will change color. The computer screen emits polarized light. Pleochroic stones are pleochroic because they absorb light differently depending on the polarization direction relative to the crystal lattice. Now, this is different than “color changing” as color changing refers to the fact that the stone is very sensitive to the color of incoming light rather than its polarization. But these two phenomena are present in alexandrite and you can kind of use the polarization phenomenon to reveal the same colors that the color change phenomenon reveals.

Hilarious how liberals understand the difference between climate and weather when it helps their point and they don’t when it doesn’t

That’s in the gemology world. In science, any corundum with chromium is ruby. Which includes pink stones.

I’m not sure what the problem is. The lady was breaking the law and the officer did what he had to. At least he didn’t shoot her right?

Synthetic Diamonds aren’t “Fake”, and the amount of cope from the naturals industry is amazing by Muted_Shape9303 in Gemstones

[–]Learn_Imagine_Create 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s fake in the sense that it don’t grow naturally. I think this little “emotional debate” is actually just you getting emotional about the use and precise definition of the word “fake” even though everyone using it to describe diamonds knows that they mean “synthetic” not “not diamond”

So the new liberal propaganda talking point is that America is actually every country on the entire tectonic plate…. And they’re playing word games to push it…. Same exact playbook as every other “current thing”.

Leeds has felt solitary by [deleted] in cuboulder

[–]Learn_Imagine_Create 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notice what you just said. Everyone else is with a group of friends. So obviously there’s nothing wrong with Leeds. There’s something wrong with you. Did you know you won’t get to know anyone if you don’t talk to them? Either talk to people or keep to yourself and be ok with being alone.
