‘White amethyst ‘, as you call it, would either be crystal quartz (which is beautiful) if it is actually white, or else a very lite- colored amethyst, with very little iron and aluminum (which give it the lavender or purple color). The lighter the color in an amethyst, the less expensive it is.

That's what I thought too, but it shows Amethyst on all of my testers, So I call it white Amethyst. And I do two and sometimes three different test to check a gemstone stone.

Aug 3rd, 2018 at 10:12:29 PM PDT by

Amethyst is quartz with iron and aluminum in it. It will show amethyst as long as any iron is present-depending on what tests you’re using. The how is just that- what tests are you using? I’m not a pro, myself-I’m not trying to bust your chops- just wondering- you appear to be honest, but many out there work on people’s ignorance.

You don't have to and yes Amethyst is a quartz and as long as the same elements are there the stone can be called White Amethyst. And do a google search you will see that I'm right. As mentioned I check each gemstone and describe it as such. Another stone that I have not seen, but was lucky enough to acquire some are White Tourmaline. We all know that Tourmaline comes in different colors, but this is the first time I've owned any White or clear color ones.
And I did take my courses in Diamonds and Color stones from GIA

As in you’re pink tourmaline- I have about 50 pink tourmalines and I’ve never seen one so light- that was so cool! I still don’t know how you find out what stones you have. For instance, I start out as you probably do- color, hardness, etc. But I rarely trust myself with that. Then, I use my refractometer. That usually helps me know if I was on the right track.If I’m at all worried about any amethysts being synthetic, I use my polariscope. But I’m really new using that!I won’t go on_I think you know what I’m talking about. Things as simple as checking out rubies in the early morning light.

Aug 3rd, 2018 at 10:35:02 PM PDT by

Rubies, Sapphires and Diamonds are fairly easy, but some man made diamond the news ones can fool you. The refractometer helps me out a whole lot in determining the authenticity of a gemstone.
When I check a gemstone I do so with a loupe, if it looks perfect I will put it aside for further testing. Only about 5% of my gemstones are perfect under a 10X loupe. The majority have slight inclusions, so no need for further testing.
The 5% I check with a reflectivity meter, and that will tell me if it's real or man made. If I'm still not sure I will conduct a couple of more test, I had to do that on One super high quality Emerald. Beautiful gemstone!
I wear a five carat ruby ring, I know the ruby is real since it was cut between 1860-1870 20 years before they started making man made ones and 40 years before they were able to create one that size.

That sounds like a real cool stone!There’s no way I would trust only using a loupe for determining a stone-especially these days! But then I consider myself to be fairly new to this- I’ve only been doing it for about 20 years- and I’ve been told by many who I’d trust-that that’s still too soon to say” This is definite,” with only a cursory examination. The newer ways of making a stone that is not synthetic, yet not wholly material either, are making some beautiful stones, yet, unless told by the seller, they become difficult to differentiate. They even include inclusions! But honestly, my very favorite stones are rutiles’

Aug 3rd, 2018 at 11:12:03 PM PDT by

Yes some of them do, but as mentioned I can determine the authenticity by 95% of most stones and a loupe, sometimes I have to use a 250X Microscope, but not often.
In grading and sorting gemstones you get pretty good at it after 50,000 plus gemstones.
I love the business and been doing it for more years than I will admit, but its also my hobby so I work at it 16 hours per day if not more.
Tomorrow I will cast up five rings in Sterling, I prefer gold but most peoples budget now is Sterling, so you give what the people can afford.

Oh yes, you probably already know my other favorite! KUNZITE!!’n

Aug 3rd, 2018 at 11:13:18 PM PDT by

I have a few of those, but when setting they do break easy!

I'm a jeweler and have been for many years, I design in CAD and then print out on 3D laser printer, then I cast and finish.

I have thousand of gemstones, and the ones I have listed on Listia will be the last ones I sell here.

The other major problem with Kunzite is that they will totally wash out of they are exposed to too much sunlight.
I ‘m jealous that you’re a jeweler. I only started becoming interested in gems and geology when I had to stop working and go on disability. I got brain trauma in 1974 when I was 18 and have had severe headaches 24/7 ever since. I eventually dropped out of college, and tried to work but eventually had to stop. I got bored, and self -taught myself all I know. There was a college professor who put her entire course on the internet and I learned much from her. Now I see why you can tell using a loupe and microscope. My microphone is very simpleI wish I could afford a better one. I used to make some jewelry, and repair quite a bit , but now I’m62 and between age and the headaches and the methadone for the pain, my eyes are not very good anymore. Well, it’s past bed time, but I’d like to continue sometime. Most people you meet on the internet are trying to rip- off the innocent (as I said) but I could see that you were not that kind)Thanks for the further education I learned from you!
