    Brittany that ring!!! Just casually wearing a real rupee from Zelda. Is it rubellite? We need to know! It's soooo pretty!!
    This video was incredible!! I learned a lot thanks to you all. All such incredible specimen. 😍 (I particularly liked the specimen with the atacamite flowers, so pretty)

    The pyrite looks like chalcopyrite that oxidizes and creates those wonderful colors. VERY enjoyable episode. Many of the minerals mentioned, I was not familiar with and I love learning something new, every single day. Brittany and Rebecca are always a wealth of information. Incredible specimens. My favorite was the Fluorite, Calcite, Quartz specimen. Would love to have that in my collection. Looking forward to the next episode.

      It also looks like a layer of vaporized silver on the pyrite. If it's from a geothermal vent and hase galena on it that's an easy way for that to happen.

    Great job curating these stones Brittany! I love Becca & Brittany’s friendship, episodes with the two of you are some of my faves. Love hearing your shared excitement, different perspectives, and camaraderie.

    Wow! Those combo pieces were awesome! My favorite piece was the fluorite with the darker green to purple tips and some colorless on the base! That pice was super beautiful to me but they were all, quite exceptional specimen display pieces! You guys always have some of the most awesome and rare display mineral specimens. Those were all super rare and incredibly different and awesome. Thank you both for these lovely specimens and the mineral education.

    Thanks Brittney and Rebecca! I really enjoyed this video. I really like the pyrite specimen. All of these are amazing. It's neat how certain elements minerals form and make eye candy for us to enjoy.

    That pyrite putting on a show like chalcopyrite 🥰 and with galena and those interesting calcites and colorless fluorite! What a specimen🎉🎉 hands down the best, agreed with Rebecca!

    @guntherrobbert4406 Год назад +4

    When you put the specimen with the franklinite, the williamite and the calcite under blacklight in particular the williamite (and to a lesser degree the calcite) might display a strong fluorescence. About the zinkite I wouldn't be able to say something as I haven't got it on my specimen.

      That would be amazing to see. The Crystal Collector Brain showed going through a slag pile at night using UV. Very interesting.

    Combination pieces are my absolute favorite. My favorite piece I have in my collection is definitely a piece from the Elmwood mine that is Druzy Quartz, Calcite, Sphalerite and Barite and it is definitely an insane piece.

    You mentioned "Elements". It's cool to know this. Starts off with it being a Rock then that Rock turns into a Mineral and that Mineral will turn into an Element. Then we are left with such beauty. ☺️❤️👑🌎

    My favorite mixed specimen is the one my kid brought me home from when she was out playing the other day, lol. It's hard, white, and reflective on one end and has mica on the other. The white part is slightly translucent where it meets the mica, so I can kind of see them come together. The white seems kind of flaky and brittle. The crow children bring me shiny rocks, then I put them in a jar to look at later.

    My collection focus is combos They must be visible unaided Sometimes I don't know what each mineral is which gets frustrating but like you point out, research helps. Enjoyed this episode much

    I recently got a piece of that pyrite and calcite that you showed. My piece has much more galena and is pretty heavy. I picked up from a gentleman that lives in Mexico. I can try to get more information on the mine because he says he buys directly.

    I’m surprised we didn’t get to see some of these specimens under a UV light. I know for sure some of them have great fluorescence under short and long wave UV.

    Wow ... Love this I just found this site from Google. Very interesting. I'm a rock hound love a nice rock. Funny I find myself always looking down when walking thru pebbles in ones drive way lol. N e ways I actually have a piece of that fluorite one. Glad to now know the name of all involved thanks.

    The piece with atacamite from Chile - not only copper-rich, but could it also be a very dry place that is unusually rich in phosphates (classic Atacama Desert attributes.)?

    At 11:14 I'm gonna have to interject which I would never ever do bc I know you ladies know your business. But I live in Michigan which is copper country and I have found stuff very similar to this minus the galena being in the same host. I've found it quite easily too though. Perhaps it's from here?
