    Always great to have a Geo location for your specimen, it really adds something special. I remember learning about Aquamarine, when in times past, Sailors used to toss their Aquamarines into the water to calm the tempestuous seas. Great production, thank you.

      Im Vietnamese too and strangely enough, Id only known and collected the deep blue shades of aquamarine, all mined in Thanh Hoá. I didnt know aquamarine could be as pale as the Pakistan specimens. The Namibia one is actually closer in shade range to ours.

    11:31 They're a bit lacking in basic chemistry knowledge. What on Earth did she mean when she said beryllium is heat resistant? It's an element. No element can be destroyed by heat unless you get it hot as the sun. How well a beryllium compound resists heat will depend on the compound, not any single component of it. And how beryllium compounds behave has no connection to to the behavior of elemental beryllium metal in steel alloys. In their defense, I have heard equally chemistry challenged remarks from many rockhounds at shows, so they're probably just repeating things they've heard.

      Good question! We've had some close calls (particularly during this shoot: ruclips.net/video/SZZvtwUEPdU/видео.html), but I don't think we've actually damaged anything during a shoot. We try to be really careful with our one-of-a-kind pieces, that's why we had Brittany there to help put the big pieces on stands for this video. Accidents do happen, however, so stay tuned.
