World's greatest treasure: crystals and gemstones | FULL DOCUMENTARY 

It's my dream to see the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. One day I'll see it.

This was a lot of information, I had no clue about but, I'm 63 and just now starting my journey into the mineral and gem world. I've always had a love affair of Turquoise since I was about 4 years old, my grandmother went to Arizona on vacation she brought me back a bracelet cuff that was Sterling Silver and the most gorgeous blue/green stones I've ever seen. Fast forward 50+ years and I'm still in love with Turquoise but I'm broadening my horizons. Documentaries such as this give me the true sense of the gem world and all I need to learn.

This is indeed an absolutely outstanding documentary on Crystal's and Gemstones

As a stone lover every stone is beautiful than other, i feel it they have their own personalities like a human being,and always have capabilities to bring out the most beautiful part of it. Love the documentary, thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️

Mining for gems and Stones definitely is an addiction. It's always so exciting to find that special treasure

Tucson shows: definitely must be added to the bucket list!

I go to Tucson every year and it was cool watching this video and seeing you interview a number of people I work with/have become friends with. It was also great to watch things go from mine to jewelry sale. I’m obsessed with the industry as a whole and very much enjoyed watching this so thanks!

We need support the good quality documentary like this 👍👍❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing this documentary. From the mines, to the gem and mineral shows, to the jewelry making by Cartier, this documentary has everything. I enjoyed every minute. Please continue making these videos! They are a benefit to the world

Absolutely amazing, easily the best gem and mineral documentary ever made

❤I am a true fan of crystals because of the many beautiful colors these semi-precious stones have. I collected crystal jewelries from 2010 to 2020. After I found out these crystals are coming from under paid miners in under developing countries, I stopped collecting because of my guilt in this guilty pleasure of gemstones jewelries collecting habit💔.

I'm a reseller from Pakistan..we deal in precious and semi-precious...love these minerals and gemstones they are truly amazing

I'm in love with stones for their beauty. I'm happy I have watched this n seen other stone lovers all over the globe. I dream of some day meeting other stone lovers❤. I just love the untold beauty in stones. I may not know valuable ones..but all in all I love stones. There's just some unexplainable peace within when you look at any stone❤. Glad I bumped into this Extraordinary Video showcasing Amazing Stones 😊. Seeing a number of Stone Mines here is incredible 😍. I get lovestruck with these natural beauty..can I say I get stonestruck😅.. 👍. Thank you! Thank you fellow Stone n Mineral lovers.

Outstanding documentary on the “flowers of the mineral Kingdom”

Years ago De Beers set out to keep diamond prices sky high. One way was to artificially limit the amount of stones available. It worked.

That was such a beautiful gem stones documentary. Watched every bit of it

This documentary was a gem .. 💎 I'm so glad that I unearthed it. ❤

I absolutely loved every second of it!

Exploring the world's greatest treasure in this full documentary is truly mesmerizing! The allure of crystals and gemstones is beautifully captured, unveiling the wonders hidden beneath the Earth's surface. A journey worth taking to discover the extraordinary beauty and mysteries of these precious treasures.

I need to go to the show. Thank you for the informative documentary. Enjoyed it.

What I don't get is that how can a person get paid literally nothing for working for something that is worth the most on this earth????? It's mind blowing!!!!!!

Awesome documentary but imo the tanzanite bracelet with what looks like a clear quartz? Would have been way cooler if they used something like a rutilated quartz or a fluid inclusion that would add a motion flow to the bracelet if it's a snowy mountain the fluid could be a symbol of snow melts. 😅

Wooow.. you are amazing, the crystals are beautiful. 💯💯❤❤💎💎💎

The miners deserves so much better if they could get some of these gems

Sooo, what I basically gathered from this documentary; is that Africa is literally sitting on trillions of dollars worth of stones

Fantastic documentary with a really nice balance of perspectives. Thank you

Awesome video but my personal little thrill was in hearing Mookaite being named and shown off. I live in Western Australia and own a little retail crystal & craft shop. I buy Mookaite directly from Australian Outback Mining (Glenn Archer). Glenn owns the main lease on the Mookaite deposit, which is only found in that one place in the whole world. If you own a piece of Mookaite, it has come from that one deposit and the chances are 90% or better that Glenn dug it up. Given how many thousands of unique and obscure crystals exist in the world, seeing Mookaite named and displayed in this video was very special!

Incredible work, really enjoyed this, just a fantastic display of humanities fascination with the beauty that abounds.

Nice commercial for the Tucson show. I felt like I was learning something as I began to yearn to go to Arizona ……that show looks amazing.

Thank you for this documentary 💎

Those are some beautiful crystal Tanzanite, that is awesome. They are all beautiful I love watching this documentary this morning, another wonderful day for me. Thank you. Ohwee wow, I love peridot and a lot of different crystals that is cool. I learned so much watching this.

Inspiring. Great documentary.

18:25, Peridot! That's my birthstone and my favorite.

great mineral specimen doc. lots of verity and great shots.

Would make a great premise for a gem heist movie. Like an Oceans Eleven type movie. Thanks for the upload 🙏

Thank you for exhibiting such precious gemstones.

captivating - start to finish!

I loved this video,I live where the best black Opal in the world comes from that is Lightning Ridge, it's in the outback of NSW Australia, 🦘 I love all types of stones.I would love to see all that is in Tulson.Noreen Australia

I love them for geological reasons. beautiful and created under immensely insane and complicated chemical and physical earth processes.

Hello from remote Australia where the real opals come from great doco though indeed ,I know a few people from here that attend the Tucson show every years its famous worldwide

As a Tucson local for the past 20ish years the gem show has always been something I don’t miss. School trips took us there, my parents. And being an adult now I go everywhere will adult money haha. Dangerous

so glad I watched this. it was amazing

Thanks for the documentary. I’m gobsmacked that Cartier would put a tanzanite canochon in a bangle. It will be damaged and chipped in no time. Tanzanite is too soft and brittle for rings and bracelets. The should have used a sapphire, they’re Cartier for crying out loud.

@ 29:49 *the Rhodochrosite Snail, Stellar!!!* 30:28 *Dr Robert Lavinsky displays such Delicious pieces of Mineral Art! I've never seen such exquisite pieces. I imagine Cartier purchasing his pieces.* ... and then the Tanzanite made its way to Cartier, *"what a Fabulous Design"* and materials used for that Exceptional Setting, *"Perfect!"* a choice very similar to a design I created, about 2 years ago, and now I'm am inspired to build. Note: one can use most any variety of gemstones to achieve that picture of art in their mind. Once its put together, it becomes *"its Own Individual pieces of Art"* and thus is priced with the value of Stones, Metals, and Design. *Art is everywhere the Passion is portrayed.* On the Bentley, the car, here's my perspective: "A Bentley or a "Diamond"? *Honey, I'll take a Diamond as big as a Bentley, when the tires dry rot and the metal has faded paint, my Diamond still shines bright enough to "Signal Ships"!* "Diamond: meaning Mineral Art, Precious Stones, or Precious Gemstones" ... and I very much like Bentley's and Bugatti's, although my signature is Black on Black with Chrome Wheels, (I might make an exception for their Golden interior.) Art on Wheels ... PS: I'm Particularly fond of Lapis Lazuli, Pyrite, Peridot, and a variety of Red Gemstones, *now, "Rhodochrosite" has entered my top 5!*

Great documentary!

Worthwhile video.😊

I love watching this type of educational video.

Really inspiring nice documetry

Huge trucks needed to transport 3-4 tons of "collosus." Think pyramids of Giza. Respect to the ancients who did not have trucks or wheels.

As a high-end mineral collector, i have a piece from almost every local they mentioned lol

Well done! Thank you!

Good Documentary 👍 thank you

Thanks for documentary 🙏

This was amazing...

I agree, yet another decent documentary

Beautiful stones.

Quel monde fascinant et mystérieux c'est trop beau mais Quel travail colossal de la part des mineurs ❤❤❤

The workers get 20 cents. France get 100$

Such a beautiful stone 🫡 I want see 😊

Keep me updated 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

That Cartier bracelet was exquisite

I have a few pieces of gem stone rings necklaces and bracelets but never really know about the mining of these stones but as I get older I am crazy about gem stones and I never realize how many people are gem crazy like me. I don't have very large pieces but some times I will take a light and explore them I taught I was crazy but there are lots of people doing the same thing. I wish I could see some of the mines I would scream my head off and jumping up and down. Thank you so much now I know a little more about my jewelry. Gem stones in earth and corals and pearls from the oceans I got lots of pearls and corals also . I am so excited watching these videos thanks and safe mining god bless . 🙏🇨🇦

I wish I only had one of each stone shown in this video

Working. Hardly I love it❤

Very educational for me.

watching this just after i came home from the gem show on fyn at the Vissenbjerg halls in Denmark.. got some beautiful rocks home with me!

Indonesian moss agate is my top fav stone. It's scenic and just beautiful.

nice!

WOW that is paradise ♥️🥰🙏🙌

I cannot believe how the guy, Peridot Dreams hammered away on the Peridot, he probably broke off EVERY CRYSTAL POINT

For me, when they are manhandled and stolen from the Earth, cut into a billion pieces and smashed apart into nothing then spirited away to greedy hoarders....they lose their value instantly, completely, forever. These absolute perfections of nature, belong in a museum, where EVERYONE can marvel at their natural beauty, without having been cut into a million pieces, their inherent, natural beauty, lost forever.

❤watching here from Philippines ❤

What an amazing tanzanite. Wow.

good info

سبحان الخالق العظيم

I love her comment, "It would be a sin not to use them". She is spot on concerning gemstones.

Tucson is NOT "in the middle of nowhere."

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👑💎., Love Stones,Cartier’s

The fact that they hyped up that huge gem at 13:48 and then put it into one of the ugliest bracelets in existence at 49:36 is a crime.
