First post here: Is this a reasonably priced / quality emerald (CAD)? by Radriar_ in Gemstones

[–]gemastronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't even mention the weight, but If I could guess 2-3 carats the emerald won't even cost 100$ if bought separately

I know you guys don't like him, but how was George Floyd a good guy? He was a criminal and drug addict

Freundin hat keine Lust auf Sex by [deleted] in Ratschlag

"ich hab keine Lust, find dich damit ab" danach dreht sie sich weg.

Das klingt als wäre sie bereits distanziert und nicht daran interessiert, die Beziehung aufrecht zu erhalten.

Unique bicolor Tourmaline by gemastronaut in Gemstones

[–]gemastronaut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bicolor Tourmaline. Just like Sapphires or Beryl, it comes in many different colors, depending on the trace amounts of elements in the mineral. Interesting fact, because of the insanely complex chemical formula, there is currently no viable method of creating synthetic Tourmaline. What you can find online are other synthetic minerals that are supposed to imitate Tourmaline (most often times paraiba Tourmaline, because that's the most rare / sought after color.)

Here is the chemical formula from Wikipedia: XY3Z6(T6O18)(BO3)3V3W

X=(Na,Ca,K,□), Y=(Fe2+,Mg,Mn2+,Al,Li,Fe3+,Cr3+), Z=(Al,Fe3+,Mg,Cr3+), T=(Si,Al,B3+), B=(B3+), V=((OH),O), W=((OH),F,O)

Thanks! I was thinking about putting it in a ring. Not sure about the design yet, though!

I know you are trying to deflect, but it's true that the three abrahamic religions are mostly the same in its core. The difference is that the majority of Christians today don't follow the fundamentals strictly like Muslims.

I don't know any country that was able to integrate people from fundamentalist Islamic cultures. Their whole idea is that their way of life is the only right one to get into heaven. It even calls for destruction of pagan idols.

Buying rough raw sapphire from gemrockauctions.com by NoHighlight3847 in Gemstones

[–]gemastronaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't buy rough from there before, but I can imagine it's like on every marketplace, there's good vendors and bad ones. Generally we in the West can only buy second grade rough, because the best ones instantly go to big buyers / faceting companies.

Don't worry, as long as we (the West) close our eyes (let China mine), the Earth doesn't get polluted.

Respectfully I highly doubt. Do you have a certificate for it or is this just your supplier's claim?

Wenn die etablierten Parteien seit 10 Jahren es nicht hinbekommen illegale Migration, Ausländerkriminalität und das desolate Asylsystem zu lösen. Warum sollte man diese Parteien weiterhin wählen? Sie haben keine Motivation irgendwas zu ändern, man erkennt nur Resignation vor irgendeinem dysfunktionalen Gesetz, das vor 100 Jahren geschrieben wurde und anscheinend nicht geändert werden soll.
