    As a mineral collector, these are all very well-known minerals, but from a gemologist's perspective would be considered extremely unusual for gemstones, if you could even cut them that is. It's nice that you're showing off some species that would otherwise be nearly to completely incompatible with the gemstone world.

    Its so strange and fascinating that you guy’s upload a video about Adamite a day after I discovered that it existed! Super great episode, there’s a lot of minerals who deserve more attention.

    These unknown "A" gemstones look so amazing and unique even though I never heard of them.😀💎 It's incredible to know how they form and to see the structure on them.😯 I like them plus the last one looks like a white dress.👗 Please do more unknown gem videos. Nice video and see you later.🙂👍💎

      Young, Old, Just anybody and everybody.
      This stuff isn't taught to youth or adults, in manner close to this in-depth of the full topic yet able to keep the information simple enough for beginners to not get scared away.
      Even college courses can't accomplish that.

    Love Axinite. Blue Axinite is most rare & prized. Much is a burned umber too peanutbutter color shift. But some examples Cognac w gold. I find The presence of small striation accents the color. A good lap will work w striations to hide yet use them for dispersion. I gave my wife( now ex) a nice 6 ct VS congac that had flickers of gold & olive greens in 14k pendant, I created/ set. She was drooling on my shoulder as I worked on it. So why not? Nice fall winter wardrobe colors matched her winter eyeshadows(make up). Very unique. I think she pawned it.

    These are fun videos in many ways. If I might though, could I suggest maybe talking a bit about the matrix some of these are in? Stuff like the anhydrite I assume is in calcite or had calcite secondary growth, and the axite maybe in quartz but I couldn't tell with that.

      Me too. Blue Axinite is most rare. Can go for $100+/ pr ct. Kind of a steely blue. I have set some fine pcs of cognac with flickers of gold. One in particular golds & greens. The small striations actually highlight color. So don't be afraid of a VS stone. I believe its type III. There are no simulants or treatments. Heating it destroys it.

    I've just acquired my first Aegirine. Such a beautiful crystal. It reminds me of Cassiterite in its colour and lustre.

    Adamite! Bought me a piece years ago and immediately forgot what it was called. XD I think the crystal structure is quite cute, but I don't know why.

    A... how about the other vowels maybe?
    Also I am always curious about upper mantle rocks and minerals, I feel we never see enough of those. Not sure but maybe those have less silica but more metal oxides in them? They're probably difficult to obtain though.
