• Unboxing $3,000,000 in...
I can definitely see that gold as art instead of just a hunk of gold. The way it grew is just beautiful. The geometric shapes that it formed combined with it's luster is just *chef's kiss .
Honestly if I was someone who could even consider buying something like that I'd snatch that gold up so fast. Just stunning, really.
It’s interesting thinking how I would spend my money if I was ridiculously obscenely rich. I cannot see spending $700M on a yacht. But spending half that much I could build a magnificent mineral collection and a very secure building to house it and the staff to make it available to the public.
Man, that's the dream!
That’s a great idea and they’re called museums if you ever have specimens worth showing the public you can lend it or donate it to a museum and they’ll display it.
@@Hashdollars Um, yeah that’s what I was implying. Surely you are aware that many museums were originally founded by wealthy individuals who wanted to share and display their collections.
@@berthaadamson1225 is that why you chose to explain what a museum is; (very secure building to house it and the staff to make it available to the public) instead of just saying “exhibit In a museum”?
Yeah I know what a museum is. Thanks for taking the time to explain another part of them I know of.
@@Hashdollars No, I chose not to say museum specifically because that would be limiting. It could be an extension of my home. It could be part of an Art Gallery or retail business. It could be part of a center where lovers of rocks and gems could gather for many purposes. And I was being descriptive to emphasize how much could be done with a lot less money than $700M. I don’t know why your sarcasm was necessary.
Whoever owns that Aquamarine must possess some incredible magical powers. There's no way something that incredible doesn't belong to wizards and witches.
She held it like a big cock haha
Haha!!! Right? 😄
Unfortunately, it's just the filthy rich.
Absolutely LOVE that silver specimen! Wow! Looks like a fossilized eldritch being, but every specimen is just extraordinary, so COOOOL
Lovecraft approved.
At the Mountains of Silver (Madness)
Just saw this after I posted my comment. I agree, it's my favorite. If I were the custodian of that piece, I'd name it, "Azathoth, the Primordial Chaos."
The aquamarine is beyond gorgeous, love the growth pattern along the crystal!
The aquamarine is absolutely gorgeous, I would definitely buy that if I had money to throw
That aqua beryl was quite stunning.
She was really loving that $1.25 million crystal. No clue why, but the innuendo's paint a picture.
Couple thoughts:
1 it'd be better to bring a normal version of each of these to compare the fancy ones to
2 this guy seems real chill for a dude with a vault
3 girl this is the internet you can't just be out here graspin beryl like that, but also hey
4 that rhodo hits
Hi! I'm pretty curious about what do you mean by point 3. Is it because of how precious is that specimen or is there another reason?
@@alerysiejmak649 another reason
@@alerysiejmak649 think about the shape and the motions associated with holding such shaped objects
@@brqxton8974 fucking hell I'm too oblivious, thank you for clarifying I was quite confused if it was maybe toxic
@@alerysiejmak649 haha no problem
I smiled through this, great hosts, incredible crystals, brilliant episode!
Christopher showed us so many amazing gems! Rebecca's favorite was pretty obvious...but what was yours? Let us know!
My favorite was Aquamarine
That rhodochrosite... I don't see them outside the common "space bacon" formations that often and that one is simply astonishing.
I am torn between the rhodochrosite (just a few hours from Sweet Home Mine and I have dreamed a long time about having one that beautiful) and the paraiba because it’s just so striking and unique.
The aquamarine for sure
The gold piece. It was begging for a magnifying glass to oogle the structure.
Its awesome to see Christopher back on the channel! Keep the beautiful minerals coming!!
The most beautiful and the most precious and unimaginable worth gemstone is that lady in the video. None of these inanimate rocks matters to me.
I love her so much. She is glowing and lovely, wish I could marry her :)
sou minerador no Brasil , já vi gemas fantásticas aqui , é fascinante pra mim ver gemas Brasileiras aqui neste canal , grande abraço do canal de gemas ( JUNTO E MISTURADO)🙂👍
I use material from M.G. a lot. I appreciate your backbreaking labor! Much respect from Florida
Acho interessante como é mais fácil encontrar certos cristais brasileiros em lojas no exterior do que dentro do próprio Brasil. Mal é garimpado já entra num avião e vai embora né hehehe…
Pior que fica caríssimo de importar de volta.
@@KrogTharr É porque no Brasil somos pobres e não temos dinheiro pra comprar 😂
Esses espécimes não são vendidos no Brasil, infelizmente. Mesmo querendo, não temos acesso a isso. Vai tudo para USA e Europa. Nós ficamos com cascalho rolado. É uma pena.
Wow!!!!!! Incredible to see such rare specimens in one video. They were all so beautiful!!
That Paraiba! 🤩🤤
These videos always get the inner treasure hunter inside of me going.
This was a real treat to watch. If could afford it I would have gotten the Paraiba tourmaline, the morganite and the rhodochrosite.
1:56 Those little etch marks are often reffered to as (record keepers)
Those tourmaline are gorgeous!
That paraiba tourmaline is pretty cool for sure. I really like the gold though just because it's a metal and not something that you normally think of as being crystalline. I do casting with aluminum bronze and when you acid etch the pieces afterwards you can see the crystal structure of the metal on the surface. It's just fascinating to me that something you think of as solid metal, is actually a crystalline structure. I've actually electrolyticly grown some small copper crystals. It's really tricky though and I've only ever gotten one small one. It usually just Electro plates onto the piece but sometimes a Crystal starts growing. Trick is keeping it growing without it just electroplating over.
The last tourmaline was crazy beautiful
The pieces shown on this episode were just incredible!!!! I about lost my mind when I saw the Paraiba Tourmaline. All of the specimens shown were incredible but man the size and color of the Paraiba is just mind-blowing! Thank you for sharing!!!!
That’s what we’re here for!
Rebecca thanks so much for all the beautiful gems and the educational information is so very awesome. Love the channel and May the angels always keep watch 🤗
Wow, wow, wow!! What a treat. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Proud of my country having so many gemstones.
Wow! This is the best video "Gemstones" has ever made. That is the most beautiful aquamarine I have ever seen, that color is amazing. I thought all of the specimens are stunning museum pieces. I wish I had the money to buy them all. Top pieces, the Morganite, the Paraiba, the Silver, and the Rhodochrosite, are my favorites. I will save this show, and watch it over & over again.
that Tourmaline is just stunning. I've never heard of it before but it's one of my favorite crystals now. I'd definitely looking for one for sure
Great video as always!! Thank you for sharing!!
Paraiba all the way!! What a stunning specimen with that intoxicating blue! Just gorgeous!
Thanks to you both for such a fun and informative presentation. Paraiba Tourmaline is my Favorite gemstone.
I hate knowing I'll never be able to have pieces even close to this in my collection, I thought I was crazy enough spending $2k on a large museum quality gemmy cinnabar on matrix.
Isn't cinnabar gonna slowly degrade overtime?
@@tapijtzweet6854 You just have to keep it cool in a nice air tight display. (In some cases in the dark)
Or yes the mercury could slowly leak, and it will experience degradation/tarnishing.
WHY would you spend $2,000 on cinnabar when you could have gotten LOADS of rough uncut Star Sapphire/Ruby, among literally hundreds of other options of good gemstones you could make your money back with? Why a Cinnabar specimen?
You literally could have gotten 10 pounds of rough decent quality gemstones (with some very high quality hidden within, most of the time) AND you could have bought all the stuff you needed to cut the stones and make whatever you want to make.
You just bought something to look at instead. I don't get it, you could have ended up looking at some of your money back or all of your money back if you scored, plus a bunch of extra stones you could wear yourself in a ring if you wanted, or sell those too. Could have learned how to cut stones too, all of that for under $2,000.
@@Nervii_Champion Not all people collect to make money lmao, to many it's a passionate hobby, not an investment.
Besides, people collect specimens for the natural beauty, making gemstones out of them for profit would be a shame.
Let people spend their money on whatever they want, they earned it and therefore get to spend it on what they desire.
I’m in love with the aquamarine and the paraiba!
I have a house full of fun specimens. I really used to enjoy collecting. Most I ever spent on a specimen was $250. I was looking for bargain used specimens
Wonderful collection thank you for sharing. 👍
That Paraiba 🤩
Wow! I live and work next door to Collector's Edge in Golden, CO. Crazy to see the beauty they literally bring to the table! 🤯
every piece blew me away!! I'm so in love with all of them
love to see Rebecca and Chris on the show, it feels like unboxing rare specimens with enthusiastic and very very professional friends, which I absolutely enjoy^^
The aquamarine was making me very anxious when it was vertical. My brain was like "just lay down on the table so you are nice & safe".
this was fascinating; exquisite specimens!
Both of your energy's jive very well. I loved this video!
Thanks!
Can you explain what would happen if someone accidentally dropped, or bumped into one of these stones and it broke? Is there laws that protect peasants, or is their life ruined? It seems like it would be very unpleasant having to watch every microstep while going to a rich persons house. One wrong move and they'll send you to the rancor.
Well, gemstones at these levels of cost are likely insured in some way. But, these were such unique and beautiful pieces, it would have been a real tragedy to damage them.
law that protect us peasants lmaooo
Here's a law to protect peasants. It's called: bulletproof glass.
The aquamarine!!! I also love a large crystal clear Fluorite!! These are all amazing!! Black opal is the only other thing to compare besides maybe a giant clear diamond in the rough! Wow!!
Hi hillo idol, God bless you. Watching from pinas setio palanog Garita San Enrique Iloilo thx.
Enjoyed this one.
🏆
Beautiful minerals showing off their idea of flowers.......
ON A SERIOUS NOTE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR BLESSING WITH US. GOD BLESS!!!
Wow... ❤️ I'm from the valley where I see lot of barrels but no time to dig them out 😊
I love them all, awesome!!!!!
I've been a rock hound my entire life.
I have metric tons of minerals in crystalline form.
I have 2 ft long Smokies from the White mountains.
Herkimer diamonds petrified wood fossils.
As much as I love all these things.
It's disgusting the value we put on rocks.
It doesn't matter how rare it is.
You could have the Hope diamond in one hand or fragmented River worn Garnet.
They both have the same value in my mind
all of this stones are nice and lovely shapes.
Beautiful video
Owning a piece of natural pariba tourmaline is on my bucket list!!!!!!! It's the only gemstone that I will buy synthetically because I love it so much!!!!!!!
I actually own a real one
That aquamarine is 🔥❤
Amazing 😍
Omg the Paribas once in A lifetime 😲
Iv e been in the kongsberg museum and the collection of silver is incredible.
The piece shown here is a little ❤
Christopher is really smart!!
Love you❤❤❤ brother. Keep going. God bless you🙏🙏🙏
Wow.... I like beryls especially aquamarine and emeralds.. and morganite..
Gemstones! love it- how splendid view~take care~=))
I freakin love her expressions!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍
That aquamarine is like a literal log!
Super program tanks sir &madam
It's so amazing to see each gemstones and surprise to know how much they cost.😯🤯💎💲 All those gemstones( including gold and sliver)are very pretty even though they're expensive.🤑💵 It's interesting to know the facts about them though.🤔 Thanks for teaching us about it on this video.🧑🏫💎
Nature sure is a Genius artist! 🤩😍
Rhodochrosite is my favorite mineral, and that specimen would look great in my collection.
finally my recommended feed hits me with some gas, let the binge begin
those are insurance prices, a bit high but the rhodochrosite was a saucy deal!! especially for the lack there of eye clean gem quality specimens.
Interesting. Well! I blv the Million dollar stone is Aquamarine which is the Beryl group. I and a team of geologists once found some very large, naturally polished Aquamarine in Northern Kenya. little did we know that it can fetch such amount of Money.
O my goodness yes lovely to see Tk you 😍👍💯💞💞💯💯💯💯💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😘😘😘
dunno what I like more the gemstones or the presenter
Wow best video I have ever seen!!!
Awww, thanks!
The rodochroshite was my favorite the red was beautiful
Crazy the hands that pulled that from the ground probably didn’t get that much
Wow what a collection, I do believe these stones are worth more, as a Sculptor and lick my lips on all of these nature is the best Sculptor in history they have intrinsic shapes that make them unique
awesome
Good evening SIR God bless you and I'm watching your video from Antique Philippines
I love this channel
Nice
keep up the video's
I was blown away, when I saw Paribia tourmaline in 1995.I bought 2 - 5 pointer cabochons .And 2 round cut 10 pointers.The box of hundreds was absolutely magnificent new color.The cost was low at first.i got lucky.

Fun Fact legally speaking natural things can not be claimed to be fine art; as art requires a human to alter it or to make it in order for it to be considered as such due to the nature that art must come from intention. This also means robots can not make fine art in a legal definition. And if something is incidental say a recording it can not be copyrighted as you didn't intend for it to be made. That said and to not be a party pooper I find a lot of rock and gems to be beautiful from a natural art perspective.
I would love to be so stinking rich to collect these minerals!
One day I will be rich enough to buy one of these gems, it won't be anywhere near the size, and it might not be worth much, but I shall own a gem stone... eventually
The aqua is huge.... the gold like a snowflake.
yes please
anxiety when ever she let go of the standing aquamarine RIGHT BESIDE THE GOLD
imagine it falls on it
Nice
i got a small perovskite mineral from arkansas, you guys should do mineral specimen like cavansite perovskite.
I liked the HUGE Aquamarine !
So did we!
wow! 450k! I bough a couple small paraiba tourmaline mineral specimens 15 years ago in tokyo for 30 bucks each. there no where near that quality but my guess there worth more than 30 bucks. just like that with the purple on the inside. cool! but I should of bought the big one the same size as the 450k. dam it. it was only 1,600ish back in 2005.
Maybe someday ill be glad to make deals with your company inregards with diamonds, more power and godbless!
Argon purge display for silver display , to stop oxidation.
I am from Minas Gerais, Brazil ♡
I thought the gold was going to be the million dollar piece. That specimen is beautiful!
Tourmaline miiiiight be my favorite mineral. But I'm awfully fond of the common Garnet.
Aquamarine, especially when its really clear, makes me thirsty. It looks so cool and quenching
Hey !!!
I hv a question for you though...is there a way to tell if the inside of the geode will hv color or will just be white?? I know you never know what the inside would look like or what color it will be. But is there a way to tell if it had color or not???
Please I need the right link for buying gemstones. Please how do I achieve this? Thanks for the video.
Just pretty rocks. I love jewelry but honestly, quarts is very common and beryl isn’t far behind it. So much of it so crazy it can cost so much. Marketing really works.
9:19. I've time stamped this as it explains with image why people prize these stones so much.
