I love how you demonstrate "pressure" by crushing a Furby with a hydraulic press. ...That's a sentence I never thought I would write.

[@moon1111rises]

If there is so much diverse wildlife in same place we have diverse gemstone production, don't we have to worry about over mining the area..if the area is destroyed what happens to the diverse wildlife?

[@ITubetc]

A lot of small scale gem miners do what they call Reclamation, a process to transform your dig site back as it was before you were there. Strip mining make me sad as does clear cutting of trees.

I'm surprised yall didn't mention Pezzottaite! It was first discovered in pegmatites in Madagascar in 2002. Absolutely beautiful reddish-pink pleochroic gemstone filled with rare earth elements and related to the beryl family

[@ccordova115]

She also forgot Ocean Jasper, too....

[@SlotHoney888]

Love all the info. Thanks so much

[@jamesmorgan5860]

Good video until the shameless plug around 4:40. Obviously, a video by mining industry for the mining industry. They want to expand into environmentally sensitive areas. Madagascar is a world treasure and not because of some gem stones to make the rich richer

[@carlosdelacadiz6658]

[@avikchakraborty7212]

Good to know. But gems at the cast of environment is not quite acceptable. After all, we are all answerable to our future generations.

[@ITubetc]

I would go there to dig some dirt and get muddy. How they feel about Americans?

[@ahadali7034]

Pakistan you have agensi

[@DB-fo4go]

Why are the ppl so poor in Madagascar

[@JulianBrook]

Wow. She asserts small scale mining and regulations to protect the environment are problems. I think most sane, non-greed-driven people might disagree. And what's oddly missing from this neocolonial capitalist propaganda piece? Actual footage of mining, and how destructive it is if scaled up to larger operations. This truly is a corporate-created marketing piece masquerading as a fun and personable educational video. Disturbing, but a good example of the sociopathic reality of the corporate world.
