    I would love to see the footage, if there is any, of inside the mine! You should do a series on just mines. That would be cool!

    Such a cool video! Loved that you chose to unbox the specimens at the mine they were mined from as well as hearing about the history and geology at this mine. And those two specimens from Bryan's own collection were stunning!!

    Beautiful! Sweet Home Rhodo is one of my favorites! I'm sure many mineral collectors were cringing watching the handling of those specimens. Some of the finest pieces in the world!

    Wow! Is purer Rhodochrosite that bright red?! I've only ever seem light pink ones! I love the banded patterns in the cabochons I'm used to seeing, but the crystal is really beautiful too. Love that you actually went to the mine to talk about it!

    Aquamarine is Colorado's state gem, Rhodochrosite is Colorado's state MINERAL.

    Had to watch this one after the recent "unboxing 3mil" video. Much love to all the miners who's labors give our industry life and to the whole jtv crew, of course!

    How long it takes to grow a crystal depends on the kinds of minerals in them. Sugar crystal are small but copper sulfate crystals more than two inches across can be grown overnight.

    Before I watched the video, I guessed that the mine was the Sweet Home Mine in Colorado and I was right. By the way, you were right that Rhodochrosite is the national gemstone of Argentina.

      Not trying to be a troll but the state gemstone of CO is actually aquamarine. The state mineral is rhodochrosite. Still loved the video tho :)

    Back in the day......one could walk up the old sweet home mine roads and find beautiful rhodo specimens. The silver miners would use the over burden to build pack roads and quite often this mineral was in the over burden. Nearly 50 yrs old now and still have a 5gal bucket of gems, ive given over 10x that away over the years....and NO you cant have them back.....wink.

    Does that not look like a green screen to anyone else I mean I feel like if she was up that high there would be wind and she would have to be louder and she’s on the edge of the cliff operantly because you can’t see anything other than the mountains and the table

    • @terrywade3696
      @terrywade3696 2 роки тому

      Do clouds change shape on a green screen? Because the clouds and the sunlight keeps changing. I’ve spent a lot of time camping in the Rockies and it’s not always windy.
