@@aaronpetrovich1164 No, nearly 75-80% of these come from slaves of the cartel and drug trafficking industry.

Don’t mine, don’t live. They’ll kill you if you don’t slave away.

Emeralds were a big money laundering operation. Traffickers would buy mines and export low grade emeralds as high grade to wholesalers in the U.S. and then transfer the funds offshore. The Feds had to learn the emerald industry to inspect the emeralds and verify if they were actually worth the inflated prices.

@@Sulucnumoh420 I'll be real with you, the jewellery business is dirty as fuck. This guy's about as legit as they come, everyone fucks everyone - my friend runs a brand called jwel & her stock is gained by renting a random community hall for a sit-down where she 'values' item and under pays old people who bring her their heirlooms, just takes it to Tracy from Dickinson's real deal, who has a jewellery shop like this one in Harrogate - she then scraps the gold/silver, prizes out the gems, gives em back to my friend, then melts the metal into ingots & keeps the nice pieces for resale, Tracy screws my friend, my friend screws old people & whoever buys her pieces at a 200% markup - she once bought an actual tooth with a gold filling off someone... You have to understand the entire business is slimey not just this guy.
Emeralds are far rarer than diamonds, but perhaps not quite as versatile simply due to their color, so they’ve always remained lower on peoples purchase priority. They’re absolutely beautiful 🤩
@@Crysishawk619well if you’re running a business its good to know basic math 😂 even if you have an accountant and a CFO you could be getting ripped off by them if you aren’t good with numbers. You don’t know what their books look like, their finances could be in the toilet.

@@Cinnamon535 The shininess of a gem isn't the only factor for it's value. Color, size and clarity are also variables with size and clarity having the most influence. Larger gems like the ones shown are quite rare compared to smaller ones so they go for far more per carat. Clear gems with almost no occlusions are rather uncommon as well and drastically increase value.
The clarity on the Natural Stone was much higher than clarity on those cut stones. Also I'm wondering how much of the gem goes below the surface into the rock. Quarter of a million dollars is pretty outrageous.
Yea its hard to tell because we cant see the faceted gemstones natural states. They could be treated to enhance the color and hide inclusions. Also, stones are cut specifically to reflect the color of the internal stone back to the person looking at it. "Windows" of transparency that go through a cut gemstone are the result of poor faceting and devalue the gemstone. But the uncut stone is so transparent you can see straight through it onto the matrix along with all of its inclusions, so they would facet the stone to hide all of that. Its a crazy price tag but the best quality emeralds come from colombia as far as i know. And notice he pointed out the other two were not colombian despite being quite large emeralds.
Speaking multiple languages can sometimes get in the way from simple problems. Most people end up being too lazy to translate in their head and just move on. A con for learning another language.
Bro listen, it's a struggle to support my family of 5!! It would be such a blessing to hook a brother up with that! That right there could provide a home for us!! Peace!!
Thank you for showing us the raw beauty mother earth has made. Absolutely amazing. I still ain't found no rocks like that in my driveway though. But I'm looking.
Once, I got a bunch of Zimbabwean emeralds to sell on behalf of their owner. Thosee emeralds were little, no more than one carat, but their quality was much, much higher than that of Colombian ones. They were beautiful.
metal detect is a hobby I find tons of silver coins I have never found a silver bar would love to get one. I Watch you all the time I think you’re awesome!
I don't know about most gems but i live near surat. A city known for its diamond industries in india, and my friend works in one of them where he polishes rough diamonds into finished products. His last month's income was around ₹6000 ($74). Around $ 900 a year.
I cant guess the uncut gems. All i can say is ILoVeYoU making this video even though its really hard to have that gems but hoping to have that someday if i become a millionaire/billionaire like you... 😊❤️✌️
Emerald is my favorite gem because it’s my birthstone I had a emerald that was about for me, and it was say it in white gold with two diamonds on the outside, and it was stolen along with all my other jewelry! I had planned to leave at 10 minute oldest granddaughter she was born in May as well. Absolutely beautiful those stones are.

Some of those guys get killed for trying pocket those same gems
Let cut it open
To be honest, the uncut gem, in its raw state, was way much beautiful than after it's been extracted and polished..
All gems should be kept in its natural form. Too many gems have been cut apart
I always use unpolished ones
I carry my uncut gem around my neck everyday it’s a flex
Totally agree!!

They are worth the value we give them.
Exactly. Nothing is rare about them
😂 the market gives them.. not the people talking in vid.. they are full of crap
Rarity and beauty determines their value
All top dollar minerals are appraised.
Actually, they are worth what the market will bear. Gems are graded by quality and color. Rarity also makes them more valuable.
She beautiful 💎💃🏾
Beautiful! I love Emeralds..
Lol when u asked him wholesale or retail, his eyes were like 👀👀👀👀
Saw it too😂
Lmaooo
The Jewish tricks were in overdrive
@@StoicSpeaks lmfao
Well you can't get one stone in wholesale price

unfortunately, that raw emerald wasn't gem quality with all of the fractures in it.
Once it's cut and polished
Most emeralds have fractures it's just how emeralds are
Good video man I like that you brought it to the Raw part of the gyms

You can't accurately guess the value of a Gem until it's cut.
I think that's the value of the uncut gem.
Is there more emerald under the grey, concrete coloured/looking rock
Max made a video of another uncut emerald, the value of uncut/Art is worth more.
Man stop hating you cry baby
I like these insights in how gems are before they are cut
Max the miner. Those gems are beautiful
Beautiful stones♡
I just so happen to be in the market for an emerald. Just purchased an Ethiopian Opal that I hope to get set for a nice chocker.

Can you grow these in a lab? If so would love to see the difference between natural vs lab-made. I’m all about the lab grown stuff!
You can grow emeralds in labs. They aren't hosted in rocks though, they're just crystal.
The ones in the case look like some of those eBay emeralds! I actually bought a few! They were like five bucks each.
Get it checked lmfao they’re usually dyed glass them boys from Africa /Pakistan WILL sell u w.e
Yeah it’s crazy. To us mortals it seems like a minute different and the price is 100 fold
