- 1989 documentary which features footage of the Smithsonian's high security storage vault. Remastered in HD from laserdisc for educational and archiving purposes only.
Been into rocks since I was a kid. Then as an adult found a great hobby in collecting them and working with them to bring out there beauty! Now get to understand them at a molecular level.
Thank you for uploading this, I watched it as a kid more than 30 years ago, so to see it again is a true blast from the past. Brings back fond memories!
I must say, this was a "gem" of a find on UA-cam. Thanks for Uploading!
thanks for sharing this, really well put for the time this was made... almost 30yrs old...
Nova should have watched THIS video before making theirs! Nicely researched, informative, and they supply a broad spectrum of samples. Thank you for the upload!
It was on Lazer disc...not alot of people knew about the format. It was suppose to be the new vhs tape but never came down in cost probably because no one could afford it, keeping production cost high.
A real treat to watch! Thank you!
Just fantastic! One of my truest loves as a collector of nsture's masterpieces of art, - minerals!
oh my god.. that backroom smithsonian collection. everysingle little cardbord tray is worth anything from a speedboat to a small mansion..
Great documentary! Very informative.
Even this simple synthetic 1980's analog music in this video rocks. Something went wrong with sounds when everything went digital. The natural and depth of analog synhetic sound has been lost. Digital just never cutted it, all it's good for is preserving recorded sound, but sucks at generating realistic sounds that have life in them like an instrument. Those 1980's analog synthetic sound had it. Just rocks.
WOW so many beautiful gems 💎
Cool video... thanks for sharing
Absolutely beautiful
I meta guy once selling quartz spheres that he shaped and polished by hand, and you could tell from looking at him he got lost inside his work.
If the Smithsonian has so many stones that the public will never see, then they have too many!
Someone is certainly privileged, with their private collection sequestered.
Amazing information about gems, thanks for sharing.
The "EMERALD" girl in the opening sequence & throughout, is a rare & flawless gem herself !! Truly & absolutely gorgeous...
Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍😎
An interesting experiment for yourself.. an ordinary clear quartz crystal put in the oven on 400 for 5 hours some or all parts of it will turn yellow. At higher temps it can turn purple something fun you can do in your kitchen.
My Grandfather used to cut gems & compete with his gems. He won an Australian gem competition. I have a smoky topaz that is an Eagle Eye cut. I absolutely love it but cannot get the local jewelry stores to set it for me. 😕
Very informative video & the music is the shit!!! Thanks!
Beautiful
Yeah so rare 98% are stored out of sight. It just goes to show you how they make the market whatever they want it to be.
“To be honest I didn’t realize the Hope Diamond was blue.” “The fame of the Hope Diamond is derived from it’s intense blue color.“ 😂
X coeorl diamond's
Cool
i cannot believe I watched this from a to z 😱 ✨
very informative
Very beautiful stone
Thank you so much for uploading this great video on gems....I super enjoyed it. And for all the conspiracy buffs like myself check out 40:44 into this video I think it is you will see something interesting.
Cherie Cisneros great heads up. Pretty creepy. You should find a copy of THE ENGLISH CABBALA by WILLIAM EISEN. It contains the whole philosophy of the towers, which in the original concept is an internal process by which man becomes G-D.
Anyone else in love with the antarctic meteorite chick at like 30:00?
This was made almost 30 years ago so she's probably in her 60's by now so have fun with that.
what type of diamond is mentioned around 4:36. Sounds like she's saying "you-jenny diamond" ?
My favorites are the blue ones at this time...Especially the Amazonite, for Big Amazons like me. :) I believe in their healing energies. The other fav is the Lapis Lazuli...very beautiful blue. Aquamarine, turmaline, turquise, chrysocolla...Wonderful. I love their radiance. I haven't got any, but only to see their photos also can help, as I feel. And on the indexphoto this green stone was also amazing. Aventurine, jade, malachit...Green Beauties. I really like the purple amethyst and pink rose quartz too...I watch many Tarot Reading and the Ladies oftenly use them with rock-crystal together...Rose quartz heals the love hurts and the rock-crystal is perfect for almost every problem, a jolly joker mineral. But the blue colour is very calming, relaxing for me...I plan that I buy for myself an amazonite and lapis lazuli mineral bracelets or necklaces. I don't wear any bijous or jewllerys, but these are energizing stuffs and I'm spiritual, esotheric person. Work with minerals, make these jewllerys or healing with flower essencies, herbs are very sympathic professions for me, maybe one day I will work with them, not as amazon, but a witch. A Good Witch. :)

Hmmm...Beautiful! :)
The password is "Beam me up" haha. Great password
I like gemstones.
Mostly the birthstones.
very good
Sigh, so many shinies, and none of them, are mine :(
Ventura highway... in the sunshine
Please help. This is driving me crazy. At 9:45 he talks about the gem he dug up at a mine that was 3lbs or over 7,000 carats. I can’t understand what he says that he dug up. What kind of gem or crystal does he say he found. I keep replaying it but I’m just not able to understand what he’s saying. Please go back to 9:45 where he’s telling the story and see if you can understand what he says. Please. And thank you in advance.

Oh and I myself believe I found a meteorite while I was metal detecting in CA its pretty big if its not one then it is either a secondary machinery slag or a some kind of volcanic rock with a high amount of base metals. It seems to have the right outer skin fora meteorite and dark in color with what looks to me like iron, petite, copper, gold, maybe silver and a rainbow sheen when a piece is knocked off it ....Wich is hard to do on the not rusty side .....maybe high gold content and very heavy ....does this sound like a meteorite if so where the heck would I take it to be verified in southern ca near San Bernardino ? Anyone?
Cherie Cisneros check out your local rock hounded club
The blue diamond is the Louis XVI diamond, the original owner. It should be called by that name only.
THA ULTIMATE
Haha that's their words not mine,I didn't name it that lol.
Cool
Amei 😍😍😍😍
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⚘😍😍😍
The model wearing Marie-Antionette's earrings are not actually wearing them, they are dangling from the model's wig; this looks odd. Lol informative video nonetheless. Lol
Back in the day colored diamonds really actually weren't that popular they used to get discarded
Could be wrong but i think its phosphorus and sulfur that make pink or red hues in gems
Well if it's not because of those elements then you are at least partially right, because they are what determines the colors
There's no way that huge diamond at the end is only 12.5 million,I thought that would be hundreds of millions!!!!!???Idk though
It's only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. I'll sell anyone the moon.. Only deal is, I need 150-Zillion $$ for it...
No takers? There you have it.
"It was lying upside down" ? Huh? How does one determine which side is up or down when considering a rock (meteorite)? She doesn't come off as a scientist, just an inexperienced rockhound.
Gemmy.
Crystals are not “non-living,”
They are most certainly alive and conscious.
حلووو 👍👍👍💛💖💜
Typical. Museums and "Scientists" lock the specimens away where no one will ever see them. It is for this reason I will never support the Smithsonian and others of their ilk. Archaeologists as well. They even admit this in this video. Shame on them. I don't hold a grudge against any private collectors. More power to them.
a state employee is by essence evil. Works for an entity claiming self-destiny to rule over other individuals and is shielded from competition when making poor decisions.
and if they catch wind if a privater collector/finder has found a new or special specimen the "scientists and Smithsonian/museums" will do everything in their power to get said specimen...
if they hadn't locked some of those specimens up we wouldn't have many to see. As if all private Collectors display their stuff....
What about snowflakes, they are crystals too of an ephemeral nature. But grow like minerals.
The smithsonian is bs.. where are all the giant skeletons?...
I want to by one for my cat
HAHAHA 'PASSWORD'?? 'BEAM ME UP' LMAO
Nic
whatta gem
