"because my eyes are young and powerful " line is wild !!!!! hahahaahahaahaha
That was awesome. Would love to see this clip edited to show laser beams shooting out as he says that.
Could yall cover the ethics of gemstones? And how to shop for ethically sourced gems and minerals?
As a brazilian geology student in the University of Lisbon, thank you so much for this video!! Since I study in Portugal, I see more of national mineral specimens than brazilian ones. Thank you 😊😊
My jaw literally and involuntarily dropped at that phantom amethyst.😮😮😮
Great vid once again!
That was fascinating. I remember touring the store H. Stern when I was in Rio and they had some amazing stones from the Minas Gerais mines there. They had dioramas of the mining process as you toured and windows to watch the raw gems being cut. It was very fun to watch. H. Stern was expensive, but a wonderful experience.
Brazilian Amethysts are my favorite gemstone, and there are so many other gemstones like the Paraiba Tourmaline, they are gorgeous ❤
The spodumene example were very impressive, thanks for sharing them.
Loved the Andalusite, just a mesmerising colour changed. Andalusite has been covered before on this channel so I actually got a rough specimen.
i get so excited when yall drop a video
Gemstones, Your videos always brighten my day, so I subscribed!
I’m surprised you didn’t show any Paraiba tourmaline
Brazil really has so many different gem types, the rest of the world is jealous.
great video 2x👍
The Natural formations of this Smokey Quartz is like a already cut & polished gemstone. Size is important, as is clarity, & the number of spikes in each matrix.
Great thanks
No heliodor?
I have a mixed cut egg shaped Kunzite from Brazil and even though it's kept in the dark, it's faded a little over the past 30 years. If you know where I can send it for re-treatment to get it back to it's pink color, I'd really appreciate it. It's amazing how many jewelers know nothing about Kunzite and Spodumene. I recently had a Spodumene gem set into a choker and had to tell the guy "no extreme heat exposures, no sudden temp changes, no ultrasound, no steam clean, and to rhodium the 14k setting before setting the stone and no further polishing afterwards." He looked at me like I had 3 heads and after much huffing and puffing says "ok." It has that "I own an island" look because there's no light leakage and the faceting is exceptional.
Darn. I was hoping to enter the contest for my collection. I'm in Canada but close to the Border .. I guess that doesn't count EH ? lol
Anyway, I was fortunate to get to order a bag of Amethyst Gemstones.
I would have LOVED that Spodumene with the inclusions. It is pretty unique looking. Unfortunately, it's outside my budget. The Huge Quartz with the "Under Water Appearance) is pretty awesome too. I'd love to have it in my collection for sure.
Thanks for what you do and thanks for the opportunity to buy some nice Brazilian Amethyst. African Amethyst can be very nice too but I think some of the deepest tone Amethyst comes from Bolivia. It is all beautiful and nice to have specimens from each region.
Minas Gerias drool ❤
Wow bro 😮😊❤
Can you do a video on gemstones/minerals from India?
Can you do a "gems from Sri Lanka "episode?
We have Aquamarine,Saphires,pearls,Alexandrite,cymophane and other Crysoberyls,Andalusite,Rubies,phenakite,Amethyst and other quartz and a lot more.
Fun Fact;Sri Lanka Has a Mountain entirely made of rose quartz(Namal Uyana)
And as a 17 years old kid who studies about gems .I realized that If you watched carefully while walking for a week, you can find at least 7 beautiful gemstones .
Greetings from Indonesia...
As a newbie gem's enthusiasts, please do make an episode of Indonesian gemstones.
Thank you
oh my god tom looks fantastic
Thank you?
Nice
Hi guys do you have a video about star ruby?
Guys...can you please do a segment on hackmanite!!! And other tenebrescent minerals!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! And low grade vs high quality examples of gems!!!! Please!!!! I think I have a low grade hackmanite specimen...it doesnt change color like almost at all..mybe slightly greyer? After under uv light...is my uv wavelength wrong?
No topaz, beryl, or tourmaline? For shame! But still pretty stones nonetheless.
It's a crime you did an episode on Brazilian gems and didn't include tourmaline.
and let's not forget, the entire class of beryls, micro and macro crystalline quartzes, and imperial topaz too! Perhaps the focus on this clip was intended to be the more vague and obscure collector's gems. There's always hope for a Part 2 to the series. 🤞
✨❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✨
Us residents only?
For the giveaway? Yes, unfortunately
hmm no Brazilian phenacite? 😢
Robb is ultimately the most Uber HoTT rock guy I've ever had the pleasure of gazing upon. Uber, white HoTT.
Really can’t see very much. Can you do more close ups please? Thx.
I love zapping my kunzite with UV as much as anyone but guys please stop! Its going to suck the colour from the crystal quick! I've learnt the hard way! Haha.
I see that someone has a cat 🐈…. scratchhhhhhh
