    The Malachite/Chrysocolla massive stone (8:19) is absolutely stunning.



  2. Khmer Love Stone on June 9, 2022 at 7:36 pm

    I love

    I just can’t believe they just leaving that amethyst cathedral outside in the direct sunlight, isn’t that just going to fade its colour doing so?

    Wow! What an insane collection of large gems and minerals! Whomever this "Z" guy is (I wish I knew…tried to google him but nada, no luck), he is on another level. If he can roll up with a truck, full of museum quality, absurdly large pieces, than I can only wonder, "what’s in his personal collection?".

    It’s so cool to see what kinds of artistic creations you can make with super sized specimens. Imagine a dining room table made out of something exotic like rose quartz or jade.



  6. Kaspason on June 9, 2022 at 7:45 pm

    fire your photographer



  7. Bryan Samson on June 9, 2022 at 7:45 pm

    Really good video thanks



  8. Deborah Ellenberger on June 9, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    Would not have comprehended the size or beauty until you stood or sat beside them. Thank you so much. I think it will be a place people will want to come to. Just amazing.



  9. Matthew Bernard on June 9, 2022 at 7:52 pm

    Why do you start the second mineral fluorite saying where is from but don’t say a damn thing about the origin of that Smokey quartz



  10. Peter Alimpolos on June 9, 2022 at 7:55 pm

    I have many gemstone collections, goed, jade, agates, and carbonated meteors stone. Pm me if anyone are interested. Thanks

  14. bjeweled21 on June 9, 2022 at 7:59 pm

  16. World of Rock Hounds on June 9, 2022 at 8:04 pm

    Can I vote for a video tour of the campus? 🙂



  17. Movinonfaith on June 9, 2022 at 8:05 pm

    I’d like to visit your company one day. Are you open to the public? I’m a JTV customer. Thank you for bringing back loose gems to the channel.



  18. mully junior on June 9, 2022 at 8:05 pm

    Do you guys do collage corses???



  19. Gemstones on June 9, 2022 at 8:08 pm

    We tried something a little different today. Do you like it when we get out of the studio? Should we feature more of our oversize display pieces? Let us know!



  20. Ariannasv22 on June 9, 2022 at 8:08 pm

  22. The Don-E on June 9, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    Won’t some of these minerals get bleached in the sun?



  23. John Blaine on June 9, 2022 at 8:10 pm

  31. Toby Swolley on June 9, 2022 at 8:18 pm

    I like her excitement… However why she always sounds as she’s about to cry in a quivering voice



  32. Tammy Phillips on June 9, 2022 at 8:19 pm

    I love this episode! It’s great to see these placed around the campus.



  33. Discount Dan on June 9, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    Is this Davey 504?



  34. Tommy on June 9, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    I need to work for this company xD this is a dream job



  35. Alexis TwoLastNames on June 9, 2022 at 8:24 pm

    i love the music you guys use when you show the gems more closely lol. it’s like they’re models on a runway in 2003 lol



  36. Rocky Mountain Bear on June 9, 2022 at 8:25 pm

    That aquamarine in rose quartz is insane! So is the labradorite table. Pretty much everything in this video is jaw-dropping. OMG and don’t forget the mammoth chunk of oily chrysichola.



  37. Ben Schulz on June 9, 2022 at 8:26 pm

    Rebecca do u have seriously the best job in the entire world or what….



  38. Eric Woody on June 9, 2022 at 8:27 pm

    Amonites were an extinct species of Squid, they werent snakes.



  39. Link The Fox on June 9, 2022 at 8:28 pm

    That speed bump at the beginning made me turn pale.
    0:07 JUST LOOK AT IT WOBBLE!



  40. VPVPVP on June 9, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    Those are some gem-tastic, gem-tanic gems! 🙂



  41. Brittany Owens on June 9, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    LOVED the production of this video. So many gorgeous specimens; thank you for sharing!



  42. Dee Cilla on June 9, 2022 at 8:30 pm

    The president of gemstone has a voice that reminds me of that narrator from Jurassic Park where they were being shown the video about ambers. How apropos.



  43. NIUBOI on June 9, 2022 at 8:30 pm

    I work in specimen collecting! More of this please!



  44. Joe R on June 9, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    You guys have some incredible specimens there. Displaying them like that makes me worried someone might come along and distroy something or break off crystals to steal.



  45. Mr Bun TV on June 9, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    It’s great to see these placed around the campus. I love this episode. that’s very nice!
