​@@dianalclements9223 I am elderly and disabled. Is the Tuson show set up for people with disabilities? I need to use a rolator (walker on wheels) when I move around. Also is there handicap parking next to the tents? It has always been a dream of mine to see some of these gem shows. I live in the Missouri Ozarks so I would have to travel a good distance to see the Tuson show. Thanks for your tip about good walking shoes and bottled water.😊

This was a lot of information, I had no clue about but, I'm 63 and just now starting my journey into the mineral and gem world. I've always had a love affair of Turquoise since I was about 4 years old, my grandmother went to Arizona on vacation she brought me back a bracelet cuff that was Sterling Silver and the most gorgeous blue/green stones I've ever seen. Fast forward 50+ years and I'm still in love with Turquoise but I'm broadening my horizons. Documentaries such as this give me the true sense of the gem world and all I need to learn.

So in the past I have gone to Diamond Hill Mine in South Carolina it's actually on the border of South Carolina and Georgia and for $10 a day you can dig all day long and keep what you find in the past they would let you camp out there but they don't allow that anymore because people have ruined it for others they have amethyst smoky quartz clear quartz Etc in the past I have found nice double-sided Krystal's

❤I am a true fan of crystals because of the many beautiful colors these semi-precious stones have. I collected crystal jewelries from 2010 to 2020. After I found out these crystals are coming from under paid miners in under developing countries, I stopped collecting because of my guilt in this guilty pleasure of gemstones jewelries collecting habit💔.

We all have our own individual part to play in the crazy stage of life. From those who call the shots and move mountains to those who are actually doing the moving. You are providing an income and a way to sustain that life. It's your perspective that's the only difference. Shed away some of that guilt that society imposed upon you and change it to that of the "provider" instead of the taker. For all you know the person your thinking about being exploited could actually be the next owner of the mine? Unless you are there to witness the exploited events maybe relax a bit and continue to do you.

That is too selfish and simplistic. Earth is dying. We need employmemt generation not from environment and human exploitation to feed the luxuries and faiths of the rich and greedy but from something environmentaly sustainable, non exploitative and symbiotic and compassionate towards all himan beings regardless of race, religion, nation or language. We need to heal ourselves and learn to share as earth cohabitants before we plan for mars. Mars is not an option after destroying our only one pale blue dot - Earth. I personally feel that such nature explotative indistries triggered by consumer markets can be controlled only by giving our contribution regardlessnof how small it is. By stopping use from our side. Can we stop everything? No. But atleast we can be moderate in our use. Earth can fulfill our needs not greed. The question is when we defone our greed as need😢

Outstanding documentary on the “flowers of the mineral Kingdom”

I absolutely loved every second of it!

The miners deserves so much better if they could get some of these gems

I'm in love with stones for their beauty. I'm happy I have watched this n seen other stone lovers all over the globe. I dream of some day meeting other stone lovers❤. I just love the untold beauty in stones. I may not know valuable ones..but all in all I love stones. There's just some unexplainable peace within when you look at any stone❤. Glad I bumped into this Extraordinary Video showcasing Amazing Stones 😊. Seeing a number of Stone Mines here is incredible 😍. I get lovestruck with these natural beauty..can I say I get stonestruck😅.. 👍. Thank you! Thank you fellow Stone n Mineral lovers.

18:25, Peridot! That's my birthstone and my favorite.

That was such a beautiful gem stones documentary. Watched every bit of it

This documentary was a gem .. 💎 I'm so glad that I unearthed it. ❤

I need to go to the show. Thank you for the informative documentary. Enjoyed it.

Wooow.. you are amazing, the crystals are beautiful. 💯💯❤❤💎💎💎

Awesome documentary but imo the tanzanite bracelet with what looks like a clear quartz? Would have been way cooler if they used something like a rutilated quartz or a fluid inclusion that would add a motion flow to the bracelet if it's a snowy mountain the fluid could be a symbol of snow melts. 😅

Thanks for the documentary. I’m gobsmacked that Cartier would put a tanzanite canochon in a bangle. It will be damaged and chipped in no time. Tanzanite is too soft and brittle for rings and bracelets. The should have used a sapphire, they’re Cartier for crying out loud.

Awesome video but my personal little thrill was in hearing Mookaite being named and shown off. I live in Western Australia and own a little retail crystal & craft shop. I buy Mookaite directly from Australian Outback Mining (Glenn Archer). Glenn owns the main lease on the Mookaite deposit, which is only found in that one place in the whole world. If you own a piece of Mookaite, it has come from that one deposit and the chances are 90% or better that Glenn dug it up. Given how many thousands of unique and obscure crystals exist in the world, seeing Mookaite named and displayed in this video was very special!

@ 29:49 *the Rhodochrosite Snail, Stellar!!!* 30:28 *Dr Robert Lavinsky displays such Delicious pieces of Mineral Art! I've never seen such exquisite pieces. I imagine Cartier purchasing his pieces.* ... and then the Tanzanite made its way to Cartier, *"what a Fabulous Design"* and materials used for that Exceptional Setting, *"Perfect!"* a choice very similar to a design I created, about 2 years ago, and now I'm am inspired to build. Note: one can use most any variety of gemstones to achieve that picture of art in their mind. Once its put together, it becomes *"its Own Individual pieces of Art"* and thus is priced with the value of Stones, Metals, and Design. *Art is everywhere the Passion is portrayed.* On the Bentley, the car, here's my perspective: "A Bentley or a "Diamond"? *Honey, I'll take a Diamond as big as a Bentley, when the tires dry rot and the metal has faded paint, my Diamond still shines bright enough to "Signal Ships"!* "Diamond: meaning Mineral Art, Precious Stones, or Precious Gemstones" ... and I very much like Bentley's and Bugatti's, although my signature is Black on Black with Chrome Wheels, (I might make an exception for their Golden interior.) Art on Wheels ... PS: I'm Particularly fond of Lapis Lazuli, Pyrite, Peridot, and a variety of Red Gemstones, *now, "Rhodochrosite" has entered my top 5!*

The Western Governments has always done people of poverty dirty... They Western Governments know... If Africa ever United all in Islam, and was strategic, informed, collectively organized, and stopped all western mining ⛏️ and Africa takes full control of its own resources, in 30 years or so, Africa could be a super powerful continent. So the Western Governments meddle, scheme, pillage, mine, and take for cheap all of the gems 💎 and minerals they can. If you fight the western governmentsz they sanction your countries, label you pedophiles and terrorists. Every fuking time. The West is evil, not everyone, but all of the Disbelievers are. For sure.

This was amazing...

Thank you for exhibiting such precious gemstones.

For me, when they are manhandled and stolen from the Earth, cut into a billion pieces and smashed apart into nothing then spirited away to greedy hoarders....they lose their value instantly, completely, forever. These absolute perfections of nature, belong in a museum, where EVERYONE can marvel at their natural beauty, without having been cut into a million pieces, their inherent, natural beauty, lost forever.
