A particular types of gypsum called Selenite, should be on this list. I don’t wana ruin the surprise for you, so just look up Mexico’s giant crystal cave and be astonished.
Thank you for this huge volume of information about each Gem type, composition and origins. Fascinating. Isn't Mother Earth clever! We humans need to be more appreciative about the privilege of living here.
Green is common in nature, blue is not. So, when choosing a secondary mineral of copper carbonate, they chose the more rare, beautiful azurite. Malachite has enough press already as it is.
So did anybody notice the amethysts cluster vibrate to the point of shaking then stops then starts shaking again yet none of the other ones moved at all so am eye thyst crazy or what
I just learned of it last week. Wish I could show you pictures of some I came across! However, remember it's a volcanic glass. So it will scratch and chip easily. Not ideal for a ring. Beautiful for a pendant ❤
@@C.O.G.OMG! Thank you so much for putting the time stamp in your reply! Hugs & kisses to you ~ you saved me SO MUCH TIME! Am kinda' new to this (video stuff) & would've been looking "hit or miss" forwarding technique, which I don't have time to do. Usually means I miss out on things if can't find it quickly. So again, Thank you!! That amethyst really was vibrating! Nothing around it was tho... strange!?!
I remember having a good sized piece of iron pyrite back when I was in sixth grade. No idea where that rock is since it has been since 1985 when I was 11.
Researching for myself and my grandchildren. Thank you for the awesome information and guidance. Your video has helped me extremely to build a new hobby and a new common interest with my grandchildren. Increasing our connection. I can't keep up with all the new bells and whistles. But rocks can help anyone hang out. After all, rocks are history. they aren't new. And can't really be lied about. Well, not if we teach research everything you are told. Thank you for your help, folks. Thank you very very much!!! I hope you make another video !!!
So in Montana/Wyoming we have the Yellowstone colldeera. Wouldn't it be an honest hypothesis that her lava tubes would contain diamonds, gold, among other things?
I'm digging the information literally and figuratively. Thank you for teaching me more about rocks in 20 minutes than I ever learned in 12 years from school. I appreciate it considering I live by the rock river in rock county.. lol
Thank you ~ these really are the coolest rocks ever! Many I have seen, but not like specimens you showed us!! I also like knowing where they have been found. This was like a super-fun ride, for me!
Amazing video.. Very informative and some great clips and pictures of the minerals.. Great job. -----But! it is so hard to just name 15.. I would love to see Petrified wood, Malachite, Sepatrium, Opals, Aqua Marine, And Quartz/Smokey Quartz!!! Come on.. lets be real. Some of the coolest specimens we've ever seen have been quartz! What other rocks and minerals would you all like to see?
Not everybody likes opals so what makes your opinion worth more than somebody else's? Do you feel that entitled? You must be a Liberal, and that's just nasty.
A great video! But so many very extreme minerals are not described! I have been grinding minerals myself for over 30 years and became aware of the Sugelight because of back pain. He helped me with the process of processing pain. As luck would have it, my brother and a friend imported sugelite from South Africa. So I first started cutting Sugelite over 30 years ago. I have found pieces THANKS to dear and warm South Africans to cut pieces with Rhodochrosite, to cut Top Richterite/Sugehlite that weigh 1.80kg and more. I would also like to mention the clinochlore from Lake Baikal, which I ground in top quality pieces weighing over 30kg, which Russians bought back. And at the moment I'm finishing the 58kg rain obsidian from California, which actually belongs in a museum. Thanks for the good video, although there are many other minerals in there that would never be mentioned. The Mother Earth on which you are allowed to BE is a "casket" which we as profit-oriented entities will NEVER understand, understand and, above all, control! It is its own identity with millions of facets that can change within a few moments. But it is the inability of “humanity” to accept this fact! We misuse our apparently divine power to be master of everything!!! Which is why a reset about matter seems necessary. Too bad!!! THX 👍👍👍👍👍👃👃👃
My favorite crystallized stone is ruby in zolosite. It's rich green and the ruby's reddish pink color combination is truely something that if you've not seen it you should.
Most Tigereye has inclusions of asbestos, known as rutile. It's what gives the mineral its chatoyant shimmer. Azurite is also found as a companion mineral to Malachite. All of the stones, featured in this video, are MINERALS, not rocks. "Celestite" is pronounced Suh-LESS-tite, not SELL-us-tite.
I love this video but I wish you would tell me how much it cost or how much it's worth per gram per ounce per pound it would just be helpful for rock hounds like me Love the video thank you
So you show a picture of an opal for your video yet it is never mentioned as being one of the coolest rocks? I was expecting to see some really spectacular stones and was disappointed. The video was informative and well made but how could you leave out opal or fire Agate or rainbow moonstone?? Lol Cheers
i appreciate an Australian black opal, well, ok, all Australian opal! also, your thumbnail is erroneous as to the content of the video, but at least not in the click bait fashion. let me explain with the following. A rock is made up of more than 1 mineral A crystal is a mineral with a crystalline structure (atoms that form a repetitive shape) A mineral is a solid inorganic substance that forms naturally A stone is a non-metallic mineral or rock ✌️🐝➕
@@operatingfromtheditch I'm complementing you on your profile picture, curious if you're a female with longer hair. I have an admiration for ladies that grow their hair impressive lengths and find it to be beautiful.
A gemstone video that actually uses images and videos of the actual gemstone your talking about!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mother earth is amazing I've always loved crystals , gem stones , minerals. Thank you very informative
A particular types of gypsum called Selenite, should be on this list. I don’t wana ruin the surprise for you, so just look up Mexico’s giant crystal cave and be astonished.
This cave is amazing thank you for sharing this information 👍
You can dig that for free well the park pass for the salt flats in OK in the US heck most locals have long forgotten about the salt flats
they mention this cave in top biggest rocks video
I have a bunch of selenite!
Lapis was prefered to azurite for pigment. Easier to grind into a fine powder. Da vinci used it foe indigo and various shades of blue.
Thank you for this huge volume of information about each Gem type, composition and origins. Fascinating. Isn't Mother Earth clever! We humans need to be more appreciative about the privilege of living here.
Would rather have these than diamonds! Much more beautiful!
Do you have diamonds? We can swap.😊
I agree, Bonnie!
So many neat looking rocks, I'd bet they'd make lovely jewelery!!!
How long do you keep your hair? I admire ladies that grow theirs impressive lengths, describe it and how it looks?
@RedRoseSeptember22, yes, most of these minerals are used in jewelry making. They're great for collecting, too.
Ossidiana [ vulcano] Lapislazzuli 🤩🤩 , bornais, ecc ecc very very Beautiful..Thank you
I wonder why malachite wasn’t on this list.

all very nice crystal minerals good video.
That fire obsidian is the prettiest rock I've ever seen
If I ever get married I want my ring to be made of that stone
Chips easily

This is the coolest geology video ......thank you for sharing it.
I have a piece of Bornite and had no idea
I thought Lapis Lazuli was only in Minecraft!!!!
Thank you so much this is Fabulous explanation , and show, and tell Fantastic ❤
Stunned the narrator pronounces "chalcedony" correctly.
Chris Kane discovered the rock that makes things roll 😎
❤
😉
I love Mexican fire agates too
Educational and informative video 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
The M.O.h.S. hardness is very soft for many of these stones.
Thanks so much for the valuable information and history of the stones
16:46 no one going to mention that rock vibrating!!!😮😮it shock a little bit then a lot all by itself 😮😮
Yeah! What the heck? I rewatched that a few times and can't understand why it did that🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I'm sorry, to which stone are you referring cause I must have missed it. And I'd very much like to see exactly what it was that you saw.

I think the most beautiful piece I have ever seen was bismuth. Just stunning and I think it should have made it to this list
So in Montana/Wyoming we have the Yellowstone colldeera. Wouldn't it be an honest hypothesis that her lava tubes would contain diamonds, gold, among other things?
Yes I agree, opal to me is the most beautiful of them all. They seem to each possess their own "personality' as each one is completely unique.
I have each of these ❤️ our mother is so creative
I definitely would love to have them rocks. Or crystals. I want to start a collection. Can I have them all. Lol. I would collect all of them.
Etsy is a great place to find crystals.
Wow 😮
I was fully expecting to be disappointed by this but I was so impressed by it that I subscribed
Very beautiful gems! Thank you for your video. Btw, i am watching you from Russia
I'm digging the information literally and figuratively. Thank you for teaching me more about rocks in 20 minutes than I ever learned in 12 years from school. I appreciate it considering I live by the rock river in rock county.. lol
you're lucky! great place to live for rockhounds like me.
It’s very fun to collect find trade these rocks. I’m lucky enough to live in area with high numbers of crystals and caves
you ARE lucky indeed!
A mineral is not a rock.A rock is made of a combination of minerals.
NERD! HAHAHA just joking...
Lol 🎉❤
Opals are rall6 the most precious and beautiful. Rock on October babies
The feeling of florite in the hand is warm and cool
Thank you ~ these really are the coolest rocks ever! Many I have seen, but not like specimens you showed us!! I also like knowing where they have been found.
This was like a super-fun ride, for me!
The Azurite @1:50 looked like topographical map!
Ocean picture stone should have been on the list

Malachite is beautiful
That one in the thumbnail should be called THE HIROSHIMA 😂
Well, every single one is in the collection. 🎉 nature is a badass creator. ❤
Thanks for this magical video! Colors and patterns are amazing.
I prefer these gemstones over diamonds. A diamond is boring!
Where is the opal in your thumbnail? CLICKBAIT
Not everybody likes opals so what makes your opinion worth more than somebody else's? Do you feel that entitled? You must be a Liberal, and that's just nasty.
Jailbait !!!
Funny, I clicked on it because it is my photo. Not in the video; just used as cover image...and not with my knowledge or permission.😜

I REALLY ENJOY THIS VIDEO . ❤😊
Where is Opals, Those are beautiful
Sir , your video is splendid.
Totally awesome 🥰
I just found out from your video that I have small piece of fool's gold. I found it on the beach looking for beach glass. Very pretty rock.
I found an obsidian rock when I was a kid It was black with tan and yellow runnin’ through it I wish I still had that rock
WOW 🤩 VIDEO 📼 I TS BEAUTIFUL 😊 MEGIC ,Mineral..VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU 👍🌟👋👏👏🙌🤝🤝👍🟠🔵🟣🔝💖
Yeah sorry but opals are more beautiful then anything on this list
I agree, had a 72 and it was absolutely stunning.
Always regretted selling that car.
Lol
That’s my birthstone😎
I agree
Especially Opal from Australia!
I love all rocks ❤
One small correction: strontium isn't used to make blue fireworks. Strontium burns red.
Great Admin!
Amazing 😍😍😍
I love that it is called Tigers eye when Tiger's pupils are not verticle.
You'd have to do a top 50 just to get to some of the more common stones
Soooo coo! Good vibes!

The term 'mesmerizing' is appropriate.
Number one is pretty, but blue chalcedony agate beats it for beauty, hands down.
I agree that Opal is way prettier than most of these. Tho u can’t deny Amethyst or Laborite on a real good day.
nơi mình sống cũng có rất nhiều mỏ đá quý tự nhiên
Did my AI man say people were using osidian for seven HUNDRED THOUSAND years?! wow, that shifts the timeline a bit
Tool using humanoids. Not us.
I USE TO COLLECT ROCKS WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL 😊
11:15 those are some high quality gas station arrowheads!
I agree😊
Rock looks like a coral reef with water on too
I have a collection that include all of these plus more.
God’s creation is beautiful 🤩
The formation of gemstones is a natural process that takes place over millions of years. There is no supernatural entity involved.
very interesting.
From Kansas close to the flint hills. Can I find semi precious stones there??
Wow! THANK YOU!
whats the rock from the thumbnail tho
Looks like opal with fire agate inside if that is even possible 🤔
Fake
I possess 1 of the most Unique RocKs on EarTh' You know its Unique when OTHER seasoneddd rockhounds say its FaKe because it JUST looks So PerfecT .
