Smash that like button folks, this is a great channel. Take care and stay frosty :)

Makes me wonder where my moldavite comes from…

i love ur channel! ive been following for so long, you have taught me about so many gems! thank you guys keep up the great work!

Conflict diamonds also come to mind too.

Very cool video!!

Can you do a video on Soranite it's new but it was discovered around 2018

Hello from Nunavut where Ivory is still harvested from Walrus tusks to make carved trinkets. The walruses get eaten regardless of the ivory, so at least it's not hunted specifically for ivory.

It's fascinating to know the facts about these gems/minerals even though it's a crime to mind them.🤔💎👮🚔 I never knew ivory is found in elephant tacks,🐘 I find it wrong that they're hunted for it.🙍‍♀️ Good video.😌💎

Good video. Thank you!

No ivory !....I love Moldavite...

Love Elephants, couldn't give me ivory. Now Moldavite is a completely different story. Love and buy it. 👍👍

Is that Maxmoefoe at 4:05?

My friend took pyrite or something like that from devils tower

I wish there existed fairtrade crystals and stones. Gladly should pay for extra expenses.

Eu tenho moldavita vermelho

I would protect the land 100%

Still had to take something for their museum before protecting it tho 😒

Not everything ethically sourced is in fact ethically sourced, they can just slap a label on it. Hey presto it’s now ethically sourced.

Obviously if one’s job is to protect the land then I’d be protecting it. If I needed more money I’d be finding another job!! Such a waste of time and money for all involved!

look if you’re gonna make a video about this topic and not even mention the fucked up mining conditions in Brazil and probably other south american countries…. you’re being complacent. We’re talking blood, slavery and a ton of intense stuff. don’t really appreciate this overly romantic view of what outlaw mining looks like.

I like your videos but as a viewer, the numerous weird transitions and clip art is super off-putting

*UHhh.* I'm sorry, _no._ That - 1:35 is NOT mining. That is what's called _prospecting._ Those are prospectors. It's not cryptocurrency bro. In the real world mining is what a miner does. In a mine. Ironically it's what you're suggesting the prospectors do, when in actuality the only thing that "destroys the land" is real *actual mining.* And even the real mining when it comes to Moldavite is so miniscule that you might as well call it artificial pond-building. Here's what moldavite mining actually looks like. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7Oia7Kom9jOnXU.html as you can see, that's the only thing that could even be considered to be "destruction of the land" and hardly even that here. Prospecting should be entirely legal worldwide since it's the only thing that gives the average joe a fighting chance against the REAL mafia, the mega corporate industrial giants who reap the world over.

Ivory is organic so it's not a mineral.
