Jeff seemed to get a bit angry about an hour ago.
He was selling a 'Ruby Quartz' set - and a viewer messaged in to say "What is Ruby Quartz Jeff?"
This was his chance to say "Ruby Quartz is simply Quartz that has been treated to make it look like Ruby" - the genuine and most transparent response. However, he went around the houses and took a fairly lengthy bit of time saying something along the lines of:
"Ruby Quartz exudes passion........" waffle waffle waffle.......... before eventually saying "Ruby Quartz can occur naturally with inclusions (slightly misleading, because that would be referring to Ruby IN Quartz - which is a totally bona fide stone) or it can be treated".
This was his chance to say "This is the treated material which is Quartz that has been dyed to look like Ruby" - alas, that never came.
Then another message came in from a viewer saying "Hi Jeff, can you tell us what Ruby Quartz is".
Jeff seemed a bit annoyed and said, quite sarcastically, "Well, I thought I'd just answered this question in depth" (or words to that effect).
He then described it again, a bit clearer than previously, being a little bit evasive at first before eventually saying "Ruby is a variety of corundum, but this is Quartz. They are two totally different stones".
Now, I'll give him credit for actually admitting that the two were unrelated stones - I think the likes of Jess Foley or Lindsey Carr would have continued to dodge the question and been deliberately evasive - however, it seemed to take a bit of pushing, and him seemingly getting annoyed by being asked again, to cut to the chase.
He could have easily cleared it up right at the beginning in about 15 seconds.
