all the chit chat i’ve seen so far about gemstones, i am lower than amateur level. ya’ll are using terms and methods of testing i’ve never heard of and i worked with a goldsmith/gemologist for nearly 10 years! holy smokes…Anyways, i wont be here too long because i prefer working with the metals. However, i have recently been placed in charge of an estate collection and i need to be able to figure out how much the collection should be selling for - so here i am, studying gemstones!
