The Malachite/Chrysocolla massive stone (8:19) is absolutely stunning.
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.
fire your photographer
Really good video thanks
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.
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
I have many gemstone collections, goed, jade, agates, and carbonated meteors stone. Pm me if anyone are interested. Thanks

What does a labradorite table cost
This blows me away!!!!!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful episode. Looking forward to season 2 (touring your campus). I can feel your passion and devotion. Sending Love to all Gemstone Geeks, Rebecca and all.
Can I vote for a video tour of the campus? 🙂
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.
Do you guys do collage corses???
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!

Rebecca your such a beautiful woman.

I like her excitement… However why she always sounds as she’s about to cry in a quivering voice
I love this episode! It’s great to see these placed around the campus.
Is this Davey 504?
I need to work for this company xD this is a dream job
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
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.
Rebecca do u have seriously the best job in the entire world or what….
Amonites were an extinct species of Squid, they werent snakes.
That speed bump at the beginning made me turn pale.
0:07 JUST LOOK AT IT WOBBLE!
Those are some gem-tastic, gem-tanic gems! 🙂
LOVED the production of this video. So many gorgeous specimens; thank you for sharing!
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.
I work in specimen collecting! More of this please!
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.
It’s great to see these placed around the campus. I love this episode. that’s very nice!
