You will be surprised how many part got grinded down just to make a good stone. Even the biggest amethyst ever found got 30% of its part grinded down to make a fine piece of rock.
Drill - A tool or machine with a rotating cutting tip or reciprocating hammer or chisel, used for making holes. Is one of those things where colloquial definition doesn't match up.
Rock drills actually do rotate the bit slowly, whereas what is known as a jackhammer doesn't. Jackhammers are basically a motorized hammer and chisel, while rock drills are a bit like the bastard child of a hammer and chisel and drill. The bit slowly spins as it is hammered into the rock to make round holes. Before pneumatic rock drills, this was done by hand, rotating and striking a chisel-like bit.
This is a bad technique in my opinion having made jewelry. Cabochons are usually much thinner than that example because they want to keep as much of the stone as possible. I don't know if working on this stone is the same as others but generally I design a cabochon to lose as little of the gem/mineral as possible. The ring is designed after the stone has been formed so that I don't have to use any glue.(A metalworker should rarely use glue if ever. IMO) The metal is pressed around the stone, and it can't move.
@@nightninja1595 I was thinking that too! I’m from a family of goldsmiths/gemologists and when the vid said the stone was soft, I figured they’d put it in a bezel to protect it. Then the bezel was too short to push metal over the stone. And when they glued it I went “oh no”. Using it in a ring may not be ideal.
@@tanyaandrovich2158 I had the same reaction to the glue. This bluejohn (sp?) seems to be sediment held together with resin. I wouldn't expect it to last very long in a ring setting. Looks pretty cheap.
anyone thought she would cut her finger on that saw? Amazing work, yet also very dangerous. Didnt know so much work goes into jewellery making. Hats off guys! =)
Okay I feel like I've now had my lifetime's supply of puns. "sure makes jewellery ROCK! Get it? Like jewellery is made out of rocks? It's clever, you see!"
Danial Shamshuddin i look in the comments to see whats there and its EVERY other comment, not about the wonderful jewelry, a show. i actually like SU but god damn its annoying.
My brother did something like this. Turns out gemstones are cheap, and so are sockets, and since he made them himself it was a better gift, and he could offer Fat gems to people he liked!
Me and my buddies have a How it's Made drinking game, take a shot for every mispronced word and chug a beer for every pun. Needless to say we get wasted.
I’m from that part of the world. Been down the mine several times, and have a collection of Blue John jewellery. It’s a beautiful part of the Peak District.
I remember being a child on holiday in england and finding a tiny fragment of blue john. I thought it was amethyst. Then our parents took us to the mines and it all became clear.
That sounds like fun. Here in Miami, there aren't any mines or gold, just a lot of limestone. But I would love to find something like that, a mine sounds like fun
Mew the Goddess They totally are! There is an abandoned gypsum mine in italy only 20 minutes from where I live. Went there with some friends, but the system was too big to map in one night. by the way, the gypsum there is all crystalline, so when you shine your torch to the ceiling it's full of glimmering, like a giant crystal. Also, it's kind of like a time machine. Everything in there is preserved for a very long time. On the surface everything changes, but deep down it's preserved...
Mew the Goddess Just be cautious though, not all mines, especially when abandoned are safe. I forgot to write that. I'm not suggesting anyone go in any hole underground, there are many dangers. Underground water, gas, collapse, getting lost... There are guided tours in some mines though, that is the wiser thing.
That explains a lot on how i can understand the How It's Made series (and Discovery channel in general), but having a hard time understanding TV shows....
Brothers of the mine, rejoice! Swing, swing, swing with me Raise your pick and raise your voice Sing, sing, sing with me Down and down into the deep Who knows what we'll find beneath Diamonds, rubies, gold, and more Hidden in the mountains store Born underground, sucked from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on, brothers, sing with me!
Far over the misty mountains cold Through dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To find our long forgotten gold The pines were roaring on the height The winds were moaning in the night The fire was red, it flaming spread The trees like torches blazed with light
This is the perfect place to bring it! I know so many creationists that simply pretend that videos like this, and other sources of proof of the earth's age, don't exist.
People fretting about fingers near the sawblade - lapidary blades for this purpose are blunt without sawing teeth because serrations can shatter a stone. The worst it does to fingers/nails is some sanding. You can lightly hold your fingertip perpendicular to the spinning blade without injury, but it is uncomfortable. Don't try it ofc. I've slipped a few times and gotten some decent scratches to my nails and some callus removal, but nothing major or icky. When I was timid and new to lapidary, I reflexively flinched when my finger brushed the saw blade; the stone came loose, shattered a bit, and a fragment nicked the side of my finger. I then recoiled and wacked my hand on the light, and got another cut from the metal lampshade. Lapidary - not without risks, but it's more about the high rpm than the blade itself.

Couldn't agree more! I lost a tiny little bit of my thumb tip and ended up with a rather wacky thumbprint on a saw a little bit like that (Ouch) As soon as that shot came up.....aaahhhh run and hide......eeeewww! Talk about shiver down the spine.
When I was a jewelry student, we'd always score the stone, wax it to a dowel, then cut and polish before setting it in the matched bezel, and contour the silver around the stone. No adhesive involved in the final piece.
been an amature jeweler (just using things I find) for years and I never had the thought to use a vacuum to pull resin into a more porous stone before. Wonder how well using colored resins for effect would work.
I don't get why you are all calling it a "cheap ass piece of rock" This is not solely made to satisfy simple materialistic needs and create a status like your fucking Hollister shit. You are wearing thousands of years of history on your finger. Doesn't that say something? Are you so narrow-minded that you need everything to look trendy and hip to satisfy you? It may not look trendy but I think it's beautiful.
What amazes me is how they figured out they had to cook it for two weeks at 80 degrees then put it in a vacuum oven for 12 hours with resin on it before they could even work it.
This sort of stabilizing treatment for turquoise became commonplace in the 1950s and was done on other porous stones by the 1980s, but treating and heating gemstones in furnaces, or even in the sun, with "poultices" of wax, oil, honey, etc, has been done for millennia. It's crazy to think our ancestors figured that stuff out, but then again, life depended on stone tools since before homo sapiens evolved, so that's plenty of time for quasi-deliberate experimentation on all types of stones. (I like to think that someone millions of years ago threw a rock into a fire for whatever reason, only to discover something remarkable in the embers come morning.)
she sounds like she has been waiting her entire life to make this pun

wow thats alot of the gem being grinded down....
You will be surprised how many part got grinded down just to make a good stone. Even the biggest amethyst ever found got 30% of its part grinded down to make a fine piece of rock.
it is 100% normal!
Reminds me of girl I once knew
Pretty standard. Even with diamond.
the stone cost no where near the asking price anyway. and the dust can be used for other things.
"They use drills to dislodge small chunks of it from the hill"
*Worker lugs up a jack hammer*
The correct name of which is 'pneumatic drill'.
That is a new term to me....huh.
I thought it was only a drill if the 'bit' rotated.
Drill - A tool or machine with a rotating cutting tip or reciprocating hammer or chisel, used for making holes.

Yes!😂
On a bowstaff? Bluejohn does nothing thanks to a bug the devs have been ignoring for years. None of the gems from that update work on it.
all the gem they wasted by polishing it kinda flat. why
Can't put a round bottom stone in a bezel made for a cabochon. Its dumb... but pretty so people grind out the rocks to put around the neck.
This is a bad technique in my opinion having made jewelry. Cabochons are usually much thinner than that example because they want to keep as much of the stone as possible.

so this is what homeworld thinks of fusion
I would love a set of goblets made from this.

Would you want to pay for it?? Sounds expensive
Gems, gems are outrageous, they are truly, truly, truly, outrageous.
Okay I feel like I've now had my lifetime's supply of puns. "sure makes jewellery ROCK! Get it? Like jewellery is made out of rocks? It's clever, you see!"
fluorite is a mineral thus making the gemstone a mineral so its not a rock but can be found in one..
Jesus Christ Marie! They're Minerals!
Alan Horton im crying! thank you!
Finally. Castleton gets some recognition! Such an awesome village to visit 😊
Actually, Gems are made on home world and in the kindergarten.
These were Crystal Gems.
They were shattered into pieces and then used as jewerly.

They killed pearl for that ring!

That's 'cause it's supposed to go on your finger, not your ass.
Hey, cheap strippers need jewelry too :P
Noble909 What's an "ass ring"?
The gems are truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous. And the musics contagious, too.
That ring looks like some shit from a gumball machine. It's not the rock's fault. It's the Silversmith's.
Live 20 minutes from castleston, beautiful place to go...That ring is hideous though
Gems are truly outrageous. They are truly, truly truly, outrageous :3 (If anyone gets the reference...)
bloodstone taric is awesome

Gem is my name !
No one else is the same

They baked it, added resin, baked it more, it's not a gemstone at all.
Never heard of blue john. Very nice.

Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
