Is this an actually tv show or is it only on KZfaq? I'm glad I found this channel, I love the show and hope for many more. I was watching gold mining vids here on youtube and came across this show. I never heard of Aquamarines before watching this but I like it. They are very pretty and I can see why people like em, they are gorgeous crystal gems. I like watching the process, the digging and all the work that goes into collecting/mining these valuable gems off the mountains. I'm glad I subscribed and I am hooked. I hope you continue to make more every season. Good luck mining guys and gals. :)

Great to see you back online. I love your videos and your Aqua even more. Someday I hope I can afford to buy a piece to facet. I'm crippled and poor and cut for a hobby (since Dec '19). If and when they start selling to offset the cost of facet rough, I'm definitely going to be in a market for some nicely colored, transparent blue aqua. I have a few small crystals from Afghanistan and a few more tiny ones from the US. They will cut clear, non-colored stones.

@brolohalflemming7042 3 жыл бұрын

With semi-precious stones, sometimes it can be best to leave them raw. So I'd rather have a crystal like the one @20m, although it looked like it had a fracture rather than being flawless. Or the smokey quartz @25m because it had a nice transition and shape. If they polish up nice, it can be pretty easy to turn them into pendants, broaches etc. Often I think they're more interesting than trying to cut & facet, especially as smaller stones tend not to show the color as well. It's also an easy & cheap(ish) way to get into making jewellery, so get some round-nose pliers, snips and cheap silver plated jeweller's wire to practice on different shaped stones, then move on to silver wire & annealing that once you get better.. Just don't wrap a stone too tight, or you might find yourself with your own clicker.. But I'm weird like that. I can't stand diamonds and think they're boring stones compared to a lot of semi-precious ones. :p

I haven’t seen the first season, but now that I’ve seen this episode I love it and now I’m gonna watch the rest, I think I really wanna do this sometime when I’m an adult, I just really love the geology of these thing, like the indicators of some materials and like finding a spot between two types of rock, what can I say it seems perfect. Fun and also earns you money. Can you just note some downsides, so I don’t get to excited? There’s always hard things in a job.

@weeu1 3 жыл бұрын

Tracie, the first crystal you found as you were walking the mountain path, might mean good things to come. Aside from that a broach loosely wired (thin wire) in white gold would be beautiful, leaving it uncut but polished. It would make a great conversation piece, when you tell people "it's just the way I found it" I'm just say'in.
