Gems and minerals from Australia.

I just wanted to comment that I really like your videos, because they express true love for the craft. I like how different your thinking is from a common comercial jeweler. It always seems that your true aim is to bring out the beauty/potential of gems, and to cut the best stones you can out of a rough (not only the biggest, or the one you could sell higher for the least effort). I truly respect your passion.

Thanks Andres, I'm a recreational gem cutter so I try to facet the best gem. Because I don't sell them, I'm not restricted by time or labor costs. For me it's about the art and the joy of cutting gems. Cheers Cliff

Fabulous collection of gems. Would love to find some myself one day but have no idea where to look☹️. Thanks for sharing.

[@VintageTimeGems]

I wouldn't mind going out looking around for some mineral specimens when it cools down.

Excellent presentation, Cliff. The blue/green Malachite was my favorite, it seemed to display some areas of irradiance that is stunning.
Thanks for putting this video together... Can't wait for part two.

[@VintageTimeGems]

The sampleite is pretty rare, unless of course you live in, Australia or Chile. Looking forward to seeing the rest. 🧐 Some forms I’m not used to seeing as well.

[@VintageTimeGems]

I wasn't familiar with many of these minerals. But I'm slowly learning.

[@jasonsummit1885]

Anglesite is lead sulfide and will glow green/yellow under UV light.😁

[@VintageTimeGems]

Are they radioactive?

[@tamwolf20]

Very cool to see. Look forward to seeing more when you post them.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Tam. I'll start on part 2 later in the week. Seems to take forever to make these videos. So many edited clips.

[@KingLoopie1]
