This is awesome. This is why YouTube rocks. This woman, Gabriela Farfan, was educated at 2 top notch colleges (MIT😮), a curator of a Smithsonian department, actively studies minerals still and then takes the time to humbly educate millions of people about minerals and gems. What a wonderful example of a person for someone to look up to.

We should feel privileged that she is sharing so much knowledge, and not take it for granite.

The difference between Ruby, sapphire, and emerald are as follows: Ruby: you'll get Groudon Sapphire: you'll get Kyogre Emerald: you'll get a slightly different story and get access to Rayquaza early on

This is what the internet was supposed to bring us. Thank you
@AlexaVonSuess
Even as a gemologist, I had a blast watching this. She does a great job at breaking down complex ideas into digestible pieces of info.
@jupiterwilkymay5161
Gabriella is a real gem. 😊

Yo this lady enunciates
@BootuInc
I asked the girlfriend if she wanted to watch this with me and she excitedly said "of quartz!"
@hungrstrke
Jesus Christ Marie, they're not rocks, they're minerals !
@demeter-the-great
It’s all crystal clear. She really rocks! Let’s not take a gem like her for granite, she’s a real diamond in the rough. Schist happens, but we have to be gneiss.

Me: "Eh, I don't think I have time to dedicate to a tv series right now." Also me: "Twenty minutes of an expert talking about gemstones? Sign me up!"
@Mind_Idiot
im 99% sure that the lady asking about the 'moonstone' ring was probably sold a polished gypsum ring. That explains the 'don't get it wet' instructions, since it would slowly dissolve. Beautiful opal you got there btw.

Thank you to whoever came up with the idea of Tech Support, i learned so much over these past few years, and thank you to all the experts as well, you inspire us.
@goldenluver33
1:22 She's wrong! The difference between ruby and sapphire is that in one you can catch Groudon and in the other you get Kyogre
@gilmour6754
Love these episodes where the expert is in a field I'd never think to care about, but is so knowledgeable and passionate that I'm loving it.
@jamessmithson-br7rm
Ruby you get Groudon, Sapphire you get Kyogre, Emerald you get both plus Rayquaza
@zammyr6807
Having studied Geology, this is the first time I don't feel stupid watching these videos.

Imagine marrying a mineralogist and having them inspect the ring like 🔍👁️👄👁️
