So sorry for the loss of your father. I remember when it hit the news when I was finishing my geology degree. It shocked me to the core.

My mother was born in January as well. I love every color of garnet; they are truly the rainbow of gems in my opinion but honestly I love every gemstone and semi precious ones too.

Thank you Bruce for sharing more about tsavorite and the history of your dad. He was my grandparents mentor. Thank you JTV too.

@iridescent7816 5 лет назад

I love the guest's choice in tie! The color does not compete with the gems for attention, making it a well thought out decision.

Beautiful. I am sorry to hear of your Dad’s assassination. One of my best friends lived in Tanzania for years and it was getting dangerous then, in 2005/6/7/8. My heartfelt condolences. Gorgeous stones and very fascinating story. Thank you so much for sharing.

That discovery story gives me GOOSE BUMPS.

@ninjahombrepalito1721 5 лет назад

Tanzanite, tsaborite, I'm starting to become more interested in Africa, those gems are beautiful. Btw, my thanks to Bruce Bridges for being in this video and telling us about these gems. Bruce has a nice deep voice.

@SnailySyrup 5 лет назад

Thank you for coming Bruce! It was cool to get some storytime in addition to the always fab grey box technical discussion :)

@nak8490 5 лет назад

What do you think about making a video about how Quarts can have inclusions or associations of many different minerals? It seems because of Quartz's chemical formula of Silicon Dioxide, it can either be associated or have inclusions of over a hundred different minerals like Rutile, Dumortierite, Hematite, Gold, Conichalcite, and so on.

I'd never heard of green garnet before a couple of days ago. I live near an area called Garnet Hill in Calaveras county. I found the most amazing gorgeous green crystal like rocks in my backyard. Found out they are tsavorite garnets. The color is just stunning. There is nothing like it

@lexxdigitall 3 года назад

That's my favorite stone. Very tragic what happened to Campbell bridges. Thanks, Bruce for sharing the information and history of the Tsavorite garnet. Quite fascinated by Gemstones in general.

@AvalonDreamz 2 года назад

Ok, that last box though... these stones are absolutely beautiful. I love that the color can have that somewhat blue tone to it as well sometimes. Just jaw dropping.

@barrett5540 3 года назад

Thank you Sir Bruce for sharing your family history & your truly Beautiful Tzavorite Garnets!!! As I was mesmerized by their clarity & color, I found myself dreaming of heaven filled with such beauty. Your stories & explanations were very informative adding to my appreciation of this amazing gemstone. On a person note... I could listen to you speak all day long. Your voice & accent is so soothing. Thank you for sharing. I will look forward to learning more from you.

It's tsavorite, did you not pay attention? ;P

@margui6224 5 лет назад

Beautiful gem. I would like to have a Tsavorite garnet.

@sherrizanoli1398 5 лет назад

If I remember correctly, Dr. Campbell Bridges was killed because of this gemstone. They named it Tsavorite after a national park in Kenya.

@triangleman100 10 месяцев назад

January baby here too! I cut original-find Idaho Star Garnet material...and the electric purples and super bright stars goes *sooooo* well with Tsavorite. Its unreal. Hope you can hold/wear these two together sometime.

@beta1157 5 лет назад

this is so exciting to hear about!

@DarthXerion 5 лет назад

I was considering tsavorite for the stone in my engagement ring, but went with the usual red garnet instead. But I got to see some beautiful samples.

@TL-mc6lz 5 лет назад

@michaelkhomotsoseepolle1433 3 года назад

Cool

@AvalonDreamz 2 года назад

That is a very smart move on their part to keep based in Africa where they find this. Process it in Africa, not sending it off to have all this done in other places. That way there are people there learning this trade and the value of the land itself. But the fact it is that damn violent there to the point where his father was murdered and his family basically can't live there is wild.

@Shock_Treatment 4 года назад

But how do you really know if you're the first to discover a mineral? There could have been someone who found it decades to millennia before, and it wouldn't have been recorded.

@yvobalcer 3 года назад

If this beautiful woman would have been dressed a certain way all of these videos would have went viral asap!!!!!!! And that's sad!!!!!! Her being a gemologist gives her different perspective than the general public on what exactly qualifies for beauty!!!!!! And like with very rare gemstones! her unbelievable natural beauty is not going to always be noticed by everyone but she is truly gorgeous she really reminds me of Snow White take off the glasses pull the hair back look at those big pretty eyes and her slim but still healthy figure!!!!!!!!! She's a gem all on her own!!!!!!!!

@Sgt-Gravy 5 лет назад

Ok, I really liked the flow of the narration. It was solid, but the video editing... Reminded me of Max Headroom. I thought you were going to sell me a Pepsi at the end...?
