  12. Curundu on March 19, 2022 at 5:59 pm

    My favorite is the azurite, though that is an amazing fluorite as well. That pseudomorph is also amazing.



  13. Wings of Eagles on March 19, 2022 at 6:00 pm

    Jordan is awesome. I might have met him in CA at the law office I worked at. Not sure. I had dejavu when I saw him and his purple fluorite sample with the yellow, with Natalie. This episode is awesome because you had him back. Thank you.

    Very cool



  18. Brenton Mah on March 19, 2022 at 6:07 pm

    I’ve bought fluorites from Jordan before, and his minerals are truly spectacular. However, the best thing about Jordan aren’t his minerals, but rather his uplifting attitude and wholesome approach to life. Consider yourself lucky if you get to know him.



  19. Avalon on March 19, 2022 at 6:07 pm

    That green on the pseudomorph Malachite is absolutely lux. It looks like velvet covering a rock. And the azurite little needles, I couldn’t imagine having something like that I could look at each day. Just beautiful, the man has taste.



  20. swirly squirrel on March 19, 2022 at 6:08 pm

    You will lose, fake collectors

    Hello, how are you you contact me Please I can send you Gemstone samples



  33. Bauhaus on March 19, 2022 at 6:27 pm

    I started collecting when I was just 12 years old. ( I’m now 60!) I had a visit to the ‘Florence mine’ ( now closed) in Cumbria, UK where they mined large quantities of red boytroidal Hematite. While there I visited the samples shed. OMG it was like going into an Alladins cave of massive red boytriodal hematite (the size of wheel barrows!), perfectly formed large clusters of crystalline Dolomite and Quartz and beautiful black Specularite. As a young kid it was mind blowing, I’d never seen anything like it before. Luckily for me I was given some specimens to take away, which I still have to this day, including a beautiful piece of boytroidal hematite, with a dusting of black crystalline Specularite on its surface, just like black icing sugar. This experience set me on a path to a life long journey of mineral collecting from all over the world. It also set me on a path to train as a Geologist, although sadly my working career went in another direction.

    all this is really cool, and what an origin story XD

  38. Lisa Pfeiffer on March 19, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    WOW!! Not only are you a walking dictionary, but the way you present your crystals, why you make it totally understandable.



  39. ハンナ on March 19, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    Jordan is really interesting! He is a true book of knowledge. Also it is nice to see someone in the alt community with similar passions. Does jordan have any social media? Would love to follow!



  40. Kresimir Milisa on March 19, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    they are beautiful crystals.



  41. Chris R on March 19, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    I hope Jordan comes back with more. Thanks Jordan!



  42. Stacy Klair-Symone on March 19, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    I collect and sell polished and noticed you don’t really talk too much about polished, why?
