I think it would be so amazing if Elizabeth had her own show where she talks about mineral specimens and rough pieces.

[@deborahduthie4519]

Chandon Sikes It seems like a logical progression. Both for sure.

[@lisamoore-pp2ee]

I agree Elizabeth needs her own show

[@Royal_Fortune]

I know it’s not what you asked for but I’d honestly like to see an episode where you talked about how different gems get their color. Even if you were to just focus on one color with several gems and how it varies I think it would make for an awesome video. Love your stuff, keep it up!

[@canusawaab53]

I just love you two together. Moves the information right along, no dead air. Love her food addiction...

[@alyssaguadagnini164]

I would absolutely love to see more of these! So educational

[@emoji_page]

Very informative. Excellent show

[@smileysopalsandcabs8790]

Loved learning about all this as I've got a hexagonal blue sapphire and was a really good and easy explanations as it was alot harder to read and understand. Huges thanks

[@misschatoyance]

The best way to learn anything is with food! Thanks to your videos I've become fascinated by the connections between mathematics, physics, and gemology. I appreciate your content as it helps me learn about the world beneath our feet!

[@retirednavychief6983]

Natalie and Elizabeth, thanks for a great episode! I choose Alexandrite, which is(I'm told) is an Orthorhombic crystal. I did Geology in college back in the dark ages at California State College, Stanislaus. It's grown up and is a University now!

[@jl5242]

It's a real delight to see all those beautiful gems ! , specially you Natalie ...😍😏 ... I adore Emeralds ! but one and you ...I look at you !!!😏😍😎... And seeing you love and enjoy all those treats is simply wonderful 😍🥰😍 !

[@metatron1980]

Thank you Elizabeth. I learned something.

[@peaceleaf2550]

This is a very informative episode ! Thank you !!

[@CJR12212012]

Gemolgoist vs Geologist! I like the different views of the same stones. Please do more of this type.

[@kconnor4568]

I was wondering which would end first, the video or the snacks.

[@Official_9VoltGamingYT]

25 veiws and no likes. Dope

[@OliUli]

Please please can you two do one on the Orthorhombic Crystal System 🤞

[@gems]

Good idea! Stayed tuned

[@toastycat7738]

Do orthorhombic... just for the sake of bytroidal prehenite and other weird ones 😜

[@jl5242]

Your presentations are great 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼😎 , and done in a very fun and nice way 👌🏻👍🏼💪🏻🥳 , I've learned so much ! Keep'em on girls !!!

[@PMangelfire]

Really liked the video, as always.....*cough cough* trapiche structure?

[@beardman2156]

So adorable munchen like it’s a crime 😍🤪 thank you for your dope lessons :3

[@nigelthornberry7513]

Loved this video, always love to learn about crystal systems you guys are the best. =) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@peaceleaf2550]

Can spodumene have six sides and terminated with three on both ends, and you see the little cubic sheets on a face. It is deep purple. It seems to be cubic but elongated with six sides? But it actualy might be triganal?

[@Shoobadawoop]

I REALLY want that emerald 😭💚💔

[@theemeraldg4024]

I love Double Refractive Calcite

[@joaomrtins]

Can you talk about quasi Cristal?

[@commanderdingdong422]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@GracieAckerman]

I am gluten free not by choice either- I am a certified nutritionist but I love gemmology

[@courtneyquinn3188]

I am also gluten free and not by choice. Coeliac disease sucks. But minerals rock 😉

[@MaxMcAdams]

only two shapes tile 3d space (boxes and rhombs), how'd we end up with more than two crystal families?

[@MaxMcAdams]

@@thebeatles2014 so its every unique symmetry group of a space-filling solid getting named as its own crystal system?

[@-Slinger-]

Yay, Natalie and Elizabeth ❤ Gorgeous women with hella knowledge rock my world! (pun intended 😙)

[@JonathanS89]

I was the 100th like! Another fun vid, I always enjoy the videos!

[@quinnsterd4764]

Loved his episode so informative as usual as well as elizabeth 👍🏻

[@nak8490]

I have an idea for a snack relating to the Tetragonal Crystal System. Cheez-Its because Tetra means Four and Cheez-Its have four sides. The color of normal Cheez-Its can even match the color of Tetragonal minerals like Wulfenite or Stolzite.

[@theatheistpaladin]

Pentagon shapes next?

[@leon1296]

What about Benitoite?

[@owendavies8405]

I realy want to help you find food base crystal structural shapes but it’s confusing af!

[@lindajolly935]

[@johnny_pilot]

I so love Natalie. 💕💎

[@jbalien20]

I want to see both armies of pets in a battle. 🐈 v.s. 🐕.

[@SolitaryGems]

So no one's ganna talk about the fact that they misidentified Albite for Muscovite. They don't even look similar?

[@shermdeazy]

[@mray8519]

Get a room guys. 😊😊😊

[@chandonsikes1817]

I think it would be so amazing if Elizabeth had her own show on JTV were she talks about mineral specimens and rough gem pieces.

[@Royal_Fortune]

100% agree with you

[@highkamp]

What happened to Natalie?

[@hughdenver2223]

You probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
