These videos are literally the highlight of my week. I’m a huge gemstone enthusiast and an amateur gemologist, I’ve learnt quite a lot of what I know from this channel! 🤩💍🌟💎
Hi, love the show. Been a rock hound for 50 years. After finding real glacial till loaded with all sort of precious and semi precious stones about a year ago I started studying gems. What a huge world. I dig the color and brilliance of the Utah beryl. I learn a lot watching y'alls show. Thanks.
Tanzanite is my absolute favorite gem ever! Thank you for information and highlighting some of those rare beauties that we just dont ever get to see enough of! Honestly, they were all awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Rob, yea I’d like to see a part two to this. Maybe include Hiddenite, the Spodumene that Kunz got upset about because he couldn’t name it. Oh, my favourite here was the Tsavorite Garnet. Tanzanite was a wonderful choice though. Thanks for another great share. 😀
I could say the Pala Mining area in Southern Ca. is interesting and has produced many amazing things. Alot of good stories like with the Kunzite... I live close by and have been there to sift the tailing piles to find gemstones, which there are many. Pretty fun and great experience.
@@firewoman7722 Yes. Look up "Oceanview Mine". $75 to dig. You can also buy bags of tailings at the Oceanview mine and at the Pala Mining company nearby. My wife and I spent the day digging. We found terminated quartz crystals, Kunzite, Tourmaline, Auquamarine, some Morganite and tiny garnets. We also brought home some great specimens of pegmatitite. We are planning to do it again, when the temps get cooler.
Another great video! My fav would either be Tanzanite or Paraiba Tourmaline. I genuinly didnt know that it was so expencive compared to the other varieties. Thanks for the knowledge as always :)
I love the electric blue of the Paraiba but I've also seen deep violetish purple and bluish green tourmalines from Paraiba Brazil, Nigeria, and Mozambique all called Paraiba tourmaline which suggests that Paraiba isn't actually a reference to the blue color. That and considering that the blue variety is a treated stone makes it sorta confusing.
Cool beans. I gotta go with Bixbite aka Red Beryl, representing Utah! The Thomas mountain range is less than 2 hours from me. I really need to get out there ASAP.
Campbell bridges also found a one time pocket of extremely amazing epidote in Kenya, he discovered it before he passed away, sadly. Luckily i have 5 crystals from that pocket lol
Paraiba Tourmaline is very exciting with its electric appearance. I have a big well shaped crystall, not eyeclean, more with a jardin of inclusions comparable to an emerald. This jardin supports perfectly the electric neonlike appearance. This fantatic stone is setted rough as main stone in one of my self designed jewelry which was handcrafted by my experienced goldsmith of my long term choice. 💎
I love seeing this type of video! More please 👍😃. The last set of gems could be called gooseite, or maybe chickenite, but they are not nearly as beautiful as the real "duck" Paraiba tourmaline.
Would love to see a video about gemstones and art through history unless you did one already. Gemstones used as different types of painting materials or carved into sculptures? Thanks
Wow, to learn how they discover these gemstones though out history is amazing.😯💎📖 There's some gemstones I never heard of before.🤔 It's fascinating to know where they come from🌐🗺, get their color and how they got named by places or people how discovered them.🧑🏫 My favorites are kinzite, Morganite💖 and the light blue one named after the ocean.💙🌊 Yes, please😀 do another history video like this. Good video.😊👍💎
Wow thankx for the vid...Iam not so knowledgeable with gems but if i can find a personal sponsor for detectors then i can scan my country...Zambia..not known for any gemstones cause no one looked..
I've talked with claim owners at topaz mountain, they informed me that red beryl is becoming more and more rare and the public lands look like they are almost picked clean of it...
I think we should call it Millennialite because it the perfect "Millennial Pink" color and it was discovered in the last century of the millennium. also us Millennials need a stone.

Just talked to my kids last week about going to sift tailings at the Benitoite mine, this is my sign to book our visit!!

Tanzanite and Tsavorite are favourites, from this group.
Paraiba tourmaline is my favourite, I think it looks like the very best colours of the Caribbean.
Tanzanite is my fave but that tourmaline - wowza!!!!!! So prettyyyyy!!!!
Tanzanite is my absolute favorite gem ever! Thank you for information and highlighting some of those rare beauties that we just dont ever get to see enough of! Honestly, they were all awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Always a joy to watch.
I’ve never seen that last type of tourmaline, so that was a nice surprise, but I have to say the red beryl would be priceless to me!
Tsavorite is my fav!! Love love love. So pretty. Thanks!! Enjoy the day.

Is there a pay-to-dig area?

I stumbled upon your channel a couple of months ago. Loving it!
Another great video! My fav would either be Tanzanite or Paraiba Tourmaline. I genuinly didnt know that it was so expencive compared to the other varieties. Thanks for the knowledge as always :)
Great vid. I like all of the stones but I really like the look of the larimar.
Gotta love the Gemtastic Bear Host.

Benitoite 💙 because I live a couple hours from the mine & we want to go pay-to-dig some weekend soon, when the weather cools off.
YAAAAS. Please do more of these 😍
Tanzinite is my all time favorite but i love all crystals
Tanzanite is my fave too, and I would live to learn about the discoveries from other centuries.
Cool beans. I gotta go with Bixbite aka Red Beryl, representing Utah! The Thomas mountain range is less than 2 hours from me. I really need to get out there ASAP.
Great video. Black opal and tanzanite are my favorites!
Cool! Larimar is my favorite.😷⚒
Great video! Love your hair.
I have been on the search for Benitonite and own all the others.
Oh, I like tanzanite too! 🥰
You are my favorite gem!
My favorite is tsavorite and of course paraiba tourmaline. 🥰
great video!
Thanks!
Thanks bro

I loved the Morganite!
Again just here to say i love you
You should do a history of Opal Fields since the Virgin Valley Nevada black opals discovery was in 1902?
Thank you!!
I love seeing this type of video! More please 👍😃. The last set of gems could be called gooseite, or maybe chickenite, but they are not nearly as beautiful as the real "duck" Paraiba tourmaline.
My favorite is all of them however I really,really like morganite or Pink morganite. I so enjoy your presentation THANK YOU. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌻🌻🌸🌸🌼🌼🌺🌺 WYOMING.

Really cool!!!
Can we do one for 21st century as well???
Tanzanite was my favorite.

Tanzanite for sure! Trichroism all the way.
Very cool

I've talked with claim owners at topaz mountain, they informed me that red beryl is becoming more and more rare and the public lands look like they are almost picked clean of it...
You have to hard rock mine and mostly people cant get up for it.
@@ResortDog that and you have to own a claim in that area to hard rock mine.... otherwise it's no power tools, no heavy equipment and no blasting.
It was an adventure! And found some too!
Love that larimar
Red beryl my favourite ❤️
what about rainbow mayanite an pink amethyst from Argenitinie?
You didn't mention about charoite. It was discovered in the 1940s and described in the 1970s.
What a specialized form of geology. Kunzite high in Lithium. But tanzenite isn't naturally blue.
Hungary has black opal?! Whaaaaaat. I live here and never heard of it
👉👉👉👉✌👈Maravilha
Let's rename Morganite.
I think we should call it Millennialite because it the perfect "Millennial Pink" color and it was discovered in the last century of the millennium. also us Millennials need a stone.
@@Heterandria4mosa I'm with that.
I think black ston
Grandidierite forget.
Charoite??
Hi how are you
