Got here from Bing search and I have many questions for working gemologists about spectroscopic analysis and what sort of equipment I might need for doing my own research at home. I have recently come into possession of thousands of rubies whose provenance I need to confirm without taking them to an official lab.

I don't know what all those funny words mean. I just talk about cartoons on the internet. I'm not really a gemologist, at least not professionally.

Then this forum is of no value to me in helping traffic my illicit rubies!

Now that I'm here though, is the cartoon good at least?

That does make me wonder how many people trying to find videos about actual gems are stumbling upon my videos. I've gotten some comments telling me they expected a more scientific video, but stuck around for the episode analysis anyway.
