But, long ago, collectors were famed for their cabinets full of curious treasures. Join Rob as he examines some of those cabinets for their gemological treasures!

It's so interesting🤔 to know the early museums🏛⚱🖼 are called cabinets, what rooms they're on and are part of the collector's home.🏠 I'm amazed to see all the gemstones💎 and statues made from minerals. All of them are so beautiful.😃🤩 Nice video and thanks for showing us.🙂👍
i have all types of coins and gemstones and gemstone rough toys records magazines sports cards some chrystal pieces my wife and i collected
I have one. it is generally filled with raw gem stones and geological specimen that I was given by a friend who inherited the collection off someone who apparently had a shop in the 70's. Aside from that it has a collection of 17th-19th century poetry and art books as well as fossils, human and animal bones and skulls and a large assortment of antique medical and apothecary instruments.
I love stuff like this so much! 😍
Loved this video! Your narrative was great, and I TOTALLY appreciate that your pronunciation was correct. At first I kept stopping the video to get a better look at the images, but I finally succumbed to watching all the way through, then rewatching and pausing. This is one of the best videos on the topic I've seen.
I'm in the process of creating a cabinet of curiosities. The cabinet is approximately 6' tall, dark wood with a glass door and multiple shelves. It contains lots of carved wood and metal ethnic items, architectural elements, sea shells and, as an illustrator, I'm in the process of making a series of traditional watercolor illustrations of insects and flora as well as Medieval and antique portraits that I'm putting into a collection of unique mostly carved picture frames.
Thanks, and good luck!
I don't have a closet, but a safe full of gemstones.
I LOVE GEMSTONES 💎💎
We have a cabinet of curiosities, it's called the dining table. There are things on there that have no possibility of being identified.
Please do more episodes like this one! I loved it!
I LUV YOU and please, make videos on what happens with minerals when you put them in water/fire. I'm especially curious about those from 15 BCE Egypt and Canaan to 1 CE Rome (we seem to not be sure about descriptions of Pliny and others)
ouuu~ I now have a name for my cabinet... of curiosities, it's composed of things mentioned in the video as well, fossils, minerals/gems/crystal (and other technical names for earth stuff) taxidermy butterflies, and I have some books, just for the sake of keeping books in a place but should go through them a bit more to make it more special and curious, thanks so much for sharing this info, so intriguing! I'd love to invest in more expensive things as time goes on, who doesn't appreciate ancient beautiful things?
Something amazing is luxury automata, maybe a video suggestion?? there tends to be gold and gems composed of them :D
First one to hit the Like button and comment! Love this channel!
I love Wunderkammer. off the top of my head: small fly trapped in amber, garnets in matrix of some white stone, jade Buddha, turquoise nuggets in concho belt hand worked from coin silver. Also fossils, rocks, shells, bones, religious or cultural artifacts I've collected over the years. Not in a dedicated room at the mo'. Covid demands. Less gemmy and more sciency eccentric.
I'm still in the phase of my life where I'm early on in college (going into my second year), so I don't have a place of my own to set up a big collection. I do, however, have a small collection of dragon statues. In the future, I'd love to display minerals, maybe fossils, and various natural "curiosities". Maybe to some it's a bit morbid, but I love reptiles, and I'd like to have them taxidermied when my future pets eventually pass. Show them in a way that's reflective of how they were in life. Of course, this is all just me thinking about what I might have later in life, it may never happen... But it's fun to think about it!
Have you ever showcased blue diamonds?
I just subscribed to you i been wanting to learn how to Knit crotchet Every one in my family Knows how but me .
Not yet, but would love to
@@gems I just recently bought some - beautiful and rare. Would love to see that on here. Also my engagement ring is a 2.14 carat blue diamond - will be; being paid for as we speak lol was pricey - $4500 CDN.
I need to put all my curiosities in a cabinet for sure
I have one but its a curios case or what people would think a cabinet is... though it's made of glass holding 5 shelves; which I think is interesting... The bottom/1st shelf has stuff of humanity like a feathered pen, ink well, a few old books late 1800s into early 1900s or glass or ceramic art.... Along with some military things. The second shelf has currencies from around the world and is essentially a continuation of the first one. Third shelf is more natural but focused on fossils and seashells kinds of things. The forth shelf continues more natural stuff but this time in stone/gem or even metal forms. The final/fifth shelf is one of spirituality; it contains things like a good luck totems, rune stones, a fate die, golden tarot deck, candles, religious & natural symbols, old bibles hidden away/protected by a strange metal painted case. The oldest bible is in German and is from the 1820s. Most of this sounds expensive and they actually aren't... really the case itself was the most expensive thing and honestly one of the cheapest curios things I found but I wanted to display the items I have either found, bought or were given as gifts or items of family I didn't want thrown away but neither did I want to have them languish in boxes in storage when they all have stories to tell. Mini museum in my own house.
I would put my Afghanite in Calcite, Lapis & Pyrite matrix in my cabinet. Also my optical Calcite cube.
I wondered if you were going to mention Rudolf. He obsessively collected
Well, now I need a cabinet.
👍👍👍👍👍
Phosphophyllite 🤤
Silver art work
Could you imagine the prices at a Cristy's auction for these items? Ouch.
Trapiche emerald
Cool! You may want to check out our video next Tuesday.
How on earth do I get to be an apprentice under you or Rebecca or any of you amazing peeps at jtv on RUclips? I spent my entire life collecting and learning by myself about geology geology and mineralogy it's a lifelong Passion I love it more than anything I want to go to school for it more than anything through GIA or gem a and yet I can't get any financial aid or support elsewhere no grants nothing and I'm a broke single father Just trying to turn in a lifelong dream and Passion into a career I know I can do great things with is there any way you guys can help me at all I'll do anything I'll work for free just to get the knowledge I'll be your errand boy I'll do whatever I'll do all the heavy lifting so to speak.
I want and need this I'm hungry meaning I want this more than most.
Buy a camera, make youtube videos. Show your collection, share your knowledge. Grow along with your channel. why limit yourself to someone else dictating what you can and cannot do?
Look into joining communities! An important aspect in anything is to talk to like-minded people. Facebook groups relating to gemology can be easily found and I don’t doubt the same can be said for topics such as mineralogy or geology.
