    Yeheey! I love this episode. I was waiting for this topic 🙂 Great job guys! Thanks..



  20. Dr.Sirena on April 1, 2022 at 7:28 pm

    I just found your channel and immediately subscribed. Would you consider a video on Ametrine? Also, any other gemstones that grow alongside each other like the Amethyst and Citrine, that ‘create’ a different gemstone? I find this fascinating. Cutting these just right must be a monumental feat. Thank you. Love all your videos!
