    First time seeing this channel. Very educational and funny! Though as you were describing the color and features of the tiny gemstone I could not see the detail with just you holding it closer to the camera and pointing.
    I would recommend scattering some of the pieces of photography at the end throughout the video. I would be better able to take in what you know about these gemstones that way.

    Ooof, what a lovely Lapis Lazuli collection you had here for us today. The gold and white flecks and lines really accentuate this massive hunk, and the tiny cabochon as well. It's such a beautiful kind of stone, very dark and yet able to stand out perfectly against muted colors of your set today, even against other dark blues like your coat's. Lovely episode, as always!

    What do I know? I don't know. But I don't think the grey box matters. To me, the box should be subordinate in color, tone, and emotive power, to the content of the box. Maybe wedding presents, and maybe Christmas presents, are different. I don't think it matters if it's gemstones or chocolate calcite. The box is not sad, it's polite.

    While lapis is opaque, high quality lazurite is often translucent to transparent in thin sections.
