That tourmaline with the matrix is wonderful!
Damn what a beauty, the gemstones are nice too. lol!!
I believe the inclusion on the mango quartz is Halloysite, a variety of Kaolinite.
Nice collections and specimen
would love to see them live, in person. thank you
Thank you for your videos that I see a lot of these days, it relaxes me a lot to look at those incredeble unimaginable wonderful crystals. I've got an in your eyes very humble collection, but I love it and I work and study them each day.
Now I was wondering if it wouldn't be possible to create some sort of a fairtrade certificate. Now, as a costumer you can't be sure of the history of the crystals. Can we dig it? Not only physically but spiritually? We should be aware that it is so important to know that the working conditions, the safety of the mine, the working-hours the salary the wages the well-being of the miners. What's mine? Makes me wonder. Personally I should be happy to pay more for my crystals when it would secure me that it was a clean clear crystal in all facettes, so to speak. I'm a collector from the understeps of the ladder, let me make that clear.That's the sector where a huge amount of trade goes around. And sometimes there are these stories about accidents in unsafe mines or horrible working conditions. 'Casualties.'
Since you are talking often about all the effort it costs to get to dig out the stones and that we are not enough aware of that... especially now it is becoming such a hype in the NewAge sector, the gemcollections and the healing stones, so my question is: Can the GIA, can you and your organisation make some efforts in that direction? I'm ever so sure that there is a market for it, like you have fairtrade coffee. It is about taking our responsibility, not in the last place to Mother Earth, to treat our precious little planet, being this incredable beautiful blue crystal herself, with love, care and respect. How otherwise can we educate our children in the same crystalclear way? And look at their clarity without blushing and closing our eyes?
Could you please provide me with a link where I can buy the "African Treasures" book because I cannot find it anywhere (either it has not been coming out yet or my Google-skills are just too poor). Thanks in advance!
are these rocks expensive
Depends on how wealthy you are. Some would call them a bargain and considering their rarity, the effort and cost that goes into removing them from their place of origin and their exceptional beauty, I'm on the 'bargain' side of the argument. Though I don't own anything like these beauties.
lol I was being a smartas# ..I have a nice collection
How's that being a smartass? More like just wasting people time with a dumb comment
I believe the inclusion on the mango quartz is Halloysite, a variety of Kaolinite.
