Nothing like watching a historical factual-rich docu on Ametrine,while holding your own chunk of the gem 💛💜

[@edkaminski6355]

Bravo.... I am 5 minutes in to the video, and I am subscribing. Wonderful to see where some of these rarities come from. Really good production quality too!

[@doiyakss]

I have an ametrine bracelet from Bolivia bought by my husband 11 yrs ago from a jeweller shop. Can’t understand at first why it’s so expensive then. After watching this, now I understand why.

[@matumillicent4620]

I have raw ametrine too. Butt from my country

[@matumillicent4620]

But mine are purple and white

[@2011blueman]

@@matumillicent4620 Purple and white is bicolored quartz. Ametrine only refers to purple and yellow because it's a combination of amethyst (purple) and citrine (yellow).

That cave they discovered is absolutely fabulous! What a treasure. And you were there!

[@piranhasz427]

Ok so I searched up Ametrine on my google search and now this video is everywhere on my recommended

[@cliffcampbell8827]

At 12:00...um, maybe some better tires with a more aggressive tread pattern would help that 4x4 traverse the muddy terrain and a winch wouldn't hurt either. Locking differentials would also be of great benefit for getting to and from that mine or bolting on a track conversion in place of the wheels (a little expensive but you've got to weigh the cost against what you are trying to accomplish to find out if such a conversion is worth it).

[@glengruber5466]

Very informative...great production values.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Always amazing how hard people will work to get some rocks, when a little bit of chemistry and glass looks nearly exactly the same... Not the same value, but for manufacturing some colorful jewelry at very low cost - man made materials can't be beat.

[@dannygartlan1195]

Incredible work Patrick👍

[@isaacbarclay2421]

The end of the video said the price of amethyst is around 10-15 dollars a carat to high end items. Voillot Patrick is selling a 12.45 carat amethyst for 479 Euro, which is 533 US. Which is almost 3 times more expensive than the highest price ametrine should get.

[@yohtan]

That is how capitalism work babe. Every hand the object changes the price goes up. Also these documentaries are old and these prices have gone up since than.

[@phimien2426]

Top gem cystal i love all!Thank you so much!

[@echoway2002]

Most countries in Patrick's documentaries only export the raw materials and make very little profit. Glad to see Bolivia is cutting the gem locally and has local jewel designers too.

I've lived in Tucson for the last 50yrs and the Gem Show in Feb. every year is a BIG deal. It was very interesting to see where some of the gems come from and how they are processed.

[@lapidarydave]

The Tucson show is the biggest in the world :) I bend there every year in can only imagine how much fun it must be to live there year round I vend at the kino show come visit if you can me and my grandma sell drum that her and her friends from taos Pueblo make

[@tonythomas951]

@tina rmeileh The gem show is in Feb. The reason I get to go every year is that I'm here in June, July, Aug and Sept when nobody in their right mind wants to be here lol.

[@tonythomas951]

@tina rmeileh whats really sad is I've never been any where much outside of Tucson. I've been as far N as Denver and thats as far east as I've been too. I've been all over California and I've even gone international by dipping into Mexico. I hope someday to break my pathetic travel record lol.

[@tonythomas951]

@tina rmeileh That sounds more like it. Having lived in the desert all my life I'd like to see some place thats green and wet. Rumor has it there is such places.

[@j619killer]

27:50 boss be like: they are super rare to find them in this condition. 28:00 supervisor: hold my coca.

[@chefdeprestigellc8855]

Hold my Coca haha

[@erins.5420]

The coca in the quantities from an unprocessed leaf it would take 5 pounds of leafs at once to get the high similar to a line of white powder in your nose. However chewing on a coca leaf has boosts of energy and alertness but no actual “HIGH”. It’s addictive like anything else like caffeine, alcohol, nicotine sugar even.

[@DasOhneEnde]

Is pure waste. we need to change this method completely. such a waste only for Money. never. It is Pure Waste and arrogance that shouldn't be encouraged, everyone who does that is, in my opinion, simply not ready for a better world and so you have to abolish it and the shareholders of this company should be stopped because that should be forbidden.

[@GarC170]

@@erins.5420 on average one kilo of dried coca leaves yields 5 grams pure cocaine once processed. Chewing Coca leaves are one of my favorite things in the world but I absolutely hate cocaine. Coca leaves have many beautiful alkaloids in them cocaine is just a small part of their psychoactive components

[@KainedbutAble123]

Does anyone know if any veins of Ametrine have ever been found in Europe. I ask because I have come across Roman gemstones that appear to be ametrine but this would be impossible if Bolivia is the single source. Could ametrine ever be found in an amethyst mine?

[@dalemurray4083]

I'm curious, how precise is the temperature at which the ametrine will change color, and how much temperature variance can the stone tolerate without shattering? Could you heat the gem to very near the temp at which it would change color and then using a laser or lasers, selectively increase the heat in very small areas enough to change the color without shattering the stone?

ametrine and citrine themselves are not expensive, they are even considered cheapest gemstones compared to ruby,peridot,topaz,sapphire, zamrud/emerald. but ametrine,...the top color ametrine is quite pricey, still not as pricey as sapphire. many ametrine are fake. it is usually easy to spot because of its too distinctive mix color

Hace un par de años vi un precioso ejemplar de bolivianita en una feria, que me dejó tan enamorado que pensé en adquirir uno, aunque si me hubiera puesto a ahorrar entonces, para comprar un ejemplar pequeño como aquel, cuando hubiera tenido el dinero, ya hubiera costado cuatro o cinco veces más… Demasiado capricho para un modesto coleccionista… Pero bueno, aunque haya que conformarse con verlas sin tocarlas, solo verlas yo ya lo considero un privilegio… Es hermosa a rabiar…

*Yeah...and there's no telling how good the quality of the fuel is in areas like that...and Helos do NOT like rough weather/heavy-rain/or 'wind-squalls' from storm-fronts...all of which make landing very 'iffy' because of a sudden 'loss of lift' from the main-rotor close to the ground* *There's a famous story of 'scouting locations' for a movie around 60-years ago landing a helicopter at a huge 'water-falls' area in S. America...and when they tried to take-off the area, the chopper just couldn't get enough 'lift' even with just the pilot onboard! The ship was abandoned, and the three had to walk in some rough country...the helo just could not get enough 'lift' to rise-up because of all the running water so close by that was in effect 'dragging the air' with it, and the rotor at full-power just wasn't enough to get enough 'bite' to rise safely*
