    I've been missing Elizabeth and Natalie. So glad to see Elizabeth so happy with what she's doing. I've love to the Alfie Norville Gem & Mineral Museum someday. What an amazing exhibit. Edit: I do enjoy Robert and Rebecca too. Don't want them to feel like I don't. lol.

    I got to go there in July 2021 with my club: MSA. We got a special behind the scenes tour with Eric Fritz & Elizabeth. She said “every time I look over you are always wearing a HUGE smile” - and I was!! The displays are AMAZING! Excellent job Elizabeth! I could’ve spent the whole weekend in there :) Elizabeth told me about all the videos she made at JTV/Gemstones - I have been watching them ever since & am learning so much!

    Wow, I miss seeing this girl; Ive wondered what happend to her and the Other-girl [that would emphasize Goodies (Candy) during her Gemology/Geology videos]. Hopefully they combine with the New-girl and make more videos again (Like the past!); but all 3 now, together. Its interesting to see the Unseriousness combined with Serious intelligence; as a Diverse, Dynamic range of perspective, all in the same person; as each one adds & assists with their comprehensional understanding. The Serious-girl 'goes with the flow' of the Others Unseriousness to maintain credibility of the topic; as the Unseriousness was then converted to redirect onto Topic; as the Differences of Veiwer-people, can attract towards that variety.

Great tour video and see you later.🙂👍👩‍🏫💎

    Years ago, we visited a winery in Southern France with their huge underground wine cellars and the tunnels are also an underground mining tunnel with real glittering raw crystals embedded on the walls of the tunnels...

    That museum is everything!! I would love to know more about how the museum is set up. I'm from Sweden so I can't visit myself although I would LOVE to in the future. I'm a mine geologist and part of a geology club in my area, I'm the VP and we actually curate a rock collection from all over the world in our own small museum open to the public, all done voulanteery. Why I ask about this museum's set up is because we really want to update ours and make it more logical when you walk through it, to have more of a thought out structure. So if you could help me in any way that would be awesome since I've never seen a museum this amazing before! It's epic to say the least!!
