Faceting Gemstones From Outer Space.
Faceting Gemstones From Outer Space.
Hello and welcome to my channel. Watch me facet a gemstone that was formed by a meteorite impact. The name of this gem is called “Moldavite”. Watch how I transform this rough clear greenish vitreous silica projectile rock into a beautiful gem. Thank you for watching. Email- vintagetimegems@aol.com

Cliff, a fantastic job cutting and excellent design choice for that piece of rough. Thanks for this fine video.
This was so amazing to watch. The bonus was the Moldavite! Have been enjoying the natural form of Moldavite for years, but must confess the polished is intriguingly alluring. That final reveal was spectacular! I’m hooked.
This video is really making me wanna re visit the Museum of Natural History/Hayden Planetarium, here in NYC!!
I can see why this stuff is in such high demand. Such a unique appearance and origin.
It may sound crazy , but one way they are making fake Moldavite with the bubbles is by firing molten glass out of a catapult. That not only gives the bubbles , but also the flow marks on the outside.
Moldavite is so stunning. good job!
Beautiful result!
Beautiful job!!! Wished you had a online store!
What a gorgeous gem! I love its unusual grey green colour, and the fact it comes from outer space makes it even more special.
Great work, well done ! Slices from heavens are a GOoD thing, specially when they give the most beautifull Lights on Earth ~Peridot Lady
That is so stunning!!! You do amazing work! First time Ive ever seen any of your video’s, already, Im hooked..lol Blessings,Fran
Wow! This is beutiful!
Awesome. But, everything heavier than hydrogen and helium formed in a supernova. Black diamonds and everything else.
To be fair, the Libyan desert isn’t in outer space…
what a gracious goal for a moldavite to become so beutiful on earth
How much$$??
Hello sir. Can you cut tapered baguette? It will awesome to watch being cut.
That it tektik
Congratulations, your work was
Excellent… l made a turnstile based on yours because l liked
Yours.
First video I seen by you..just beautiful. I’ll keep watching.
Does that machine have a travel limiter on the manipulator? Like on the protractor so a person could cut by numbers if need be? would it be needed for anything beyond mass production?
Can you do a video on that?
hi cliff any chance of getting this diagrams?
How about Saffordite?
There are tons of diamonds in the moon, if you go there you will be rich
What about Shiva Lingam?
Thank you for cut moldavite.
Hi Clive, I have a few carbonados. But how can I tell if its indeed carbonados?
Amazing amazing amazing thank u
I love this its so cool this is what kids need to learn in school
I found stone i want to find if the stone that i have is real, where can i send it for u to see sir. Thanks
After you glued it the second time, did you facet the stone all the way or did you slice off a piece before? It looks like there’s a sizeable piece you can cut loss and grind to another jem from and you’ll still have enough to facet the first stone, making a table and all that… or did I miss something?
Gold is also from outer space
Absolutely gorgeous!! Well done Cliff!! When you said 5.5 I was like, oh wow that is soft!!
My aunt gave me a bunch of rocks and she included moldavite. It’s almost looks black but when under a light it’s green. Are some moldavite darker while not under the light?
Absolutely stunning!!!
.Cliff ,close encounters of the sixth kind..
Thats amazing, very pretty , Thankyou for your time
Your voice is perfect for asmr, it’s very relaxing to listen to you talk about gems
Lucky Me I BELIEVE SOME HAVE FELL UPON ME STAR ROCK SHINING IN MY LIGHT GREAT DAY AND THANK YOU
I don’t understand how you cheat? Is their an easier way to get the gem corrected without grinding by hand or?
usually, a 5.5 on the mohs scale isnt ‘very soft’ compared to stones like calcite or flourite. but being that moldavite is a natural glass, it probably is a wee bit softer than a gemstone that is a 5.5
carve a gemstone from Uranus please
Cool! I have a few peridote crystals
Thank you for such a wonderful video. I enjoy your lovely sense of humour and your informative explanations. You have helped me understand a lot more. Your work is just so beautiful. Thank you.
