[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 418374, member: 3008"] Yep! Same here, tried it and got no response. That's why I put the vid up. I think I may try and chase down a 13mm N52 magnet so I can compare apples with apples. The magnet I'm using can't pick the peridot up but can 'rock' it with my small magnet. Same goes for my supposed Spessartine garnet. So with the right magnet it should pick up. This table would help. [url]https://www.gemstonemagnetism.com/magnetic_index.html[/url] Note the synthetic sapphire gives the same result as a metamorphic saph. My saph from lava plains gave a weak response even though they are the typical dark bottle blue colour. [/QUOTE]
