I love how your channel shares not just the knowledge that you have, but the passion for these works of beauty by man and nature

[@iridescentmirage]

I always love to hear professionals talk about what makes their product special. Not only are the highlights interesting, but the history is most insightful~

[@JorgetheSinger]

Experience is always the best 👑 journey wise

[@behind.theSun]

These guys are not professionals

[@mysticallight6548]

beautiful. I collect Tanzanite (small pieces) never seen one terminated and museum quality, absolutely stunning . Chrome Tourmaline is just amazing. thank you great video .

[@rei_cirith]

Where do you get raw specimens? I've literally been looking all over to get an untreated piece.

[@lovesterika9079]

Amazing video as always, I just wished you guys talked more about Tsavorite as it's such an unknown gemstone

[@hostronic]

I love chrome tourmaline but I think chrome diopside is even more beautiful. And it’s very affordable.

[@SariaFan93]

My rarest tourmaline is a Brazilian Paraiba tourmaline. It has a pink and blue “cotton candy & bubble gum” color. And I also own a pink tanzanite.

[@kconnor4568]

It’s good to hear your old bubbly and happy voice back on the air. This episode seems to really spark your interest as well as your curiosity. It’s good to hear you back to the way that I heard when I first started listening to your channel.

[@passionweasel3181]

I like how you guys are matching with the gemstones👍🏼

[@debraclark1451]

EXACT SAME THOUGHT

[@cathyprouty8815]

I so enjoy these videos. Learning about and seeing these gemstones is so wonderful .

[@smrtym09]

Amazing video ! 👍👍👍 I just love Jaimeen , he is so handsome and seems like such a gentleman! Hope he comes back on the show in the future, I love hearing him talk his accent is beautiful! I loved the blue gem it was gorgeous! 💍

[@debraclark1451]

JAIMEEN IS A HIT WITH THE LADIES...HE IS LOVELY ISNT HE....

[@carolinekleo1]

That is so extraordinarily beautiful. If I had to pick one color/crystal that I loved the most, this might be it.

[@Shoobadawoop]

These colors are insanely gorgeous 😍😍😍 I LOVE teal!!! 💘

[@Zaynesjasmine]

The tanzanites are so so pretty. The color is so deep and beautiful. I think i just fell in love with it!!

[@debraclark1451]

WITH THE GEM????

[@Zaynesjasmine]

@@debraclark1451 i mean what else could i be talking about??

[@deborahduthie4519]

I saw an Engagement ring of Tourmaline of this type. Stunning. Really Stunning! I’ve been complaining about the Dynamiting of mines for gems for ages.

[@akodito6809]

Thank You for video 😀

[@imari2305]

I hate the fact that gemstones are treated or irradiated to make it a different color. I own a very small piece of Tanzanite and now after seeing it untreated in its' natural state I'm sad mine was altered. I would prefer the stone in its' natural state. That chrome tourmaline is to die for! That beautiful teal greenish blue color of the gem and the fact you both are matching with your outfits really made the gem stand out. Thanks again Natalie and Jaimeen for bringing us these beautiful gems

[@kimberlydlapp3441]

Without heat the gem is brown. You can find blues out of the ground but lightning is the usual factor of changing it to blue

[@helenbunnehmummeh5154]

Brown / golden Zoisite does exist. I have a piece in a ring.

[@jjbentley9]

I love these unboxing videos. Compared to 8 or ten years ago there's so much content about gems and rock crystal etc fossils. Ask a rockhound it's pretty cool. I remember ten years ago of course I still was into to rocks then have been my entire life. Needless to say if I was lucky enough to see anything about menirals on TV. I would try find them on KZbin because there just simply was not any content about them on here.

[@reikiwithcary2682]

Wow. Just Wow!

[@michelemurphy3541]

So good! Again, a wonderful host~Tanzania is fantastic! Dar Al Salam! Thank you for this wonderful episode…gorgeous!! Sunijamin *(sorry spell error) is almost intoxicatingly delightful! Love!

[@gemslight77]

Simply mesmerizing! I live crystals and these were awesome! 💕

[@tomgucwa7319]

Check color in full sunlight , and low angle sunset light - to compare an contrast...

[@brendakinney9707]

JTV, Please offer us some CHROME TOURMALINE, PLEASE !!, The elongated square { as pictured on his hand } was MAGNIFICENT , And he indicates the price is generally low as of now, Before it gets out to these high priced jewlery stores, Such an intelligent young man, Please have him back again !!

You two have awesome chemistry…

[@anniehunterspaintbrush7680]

I haven't come across anything so beautiful...and yet I live in South Africa 😢....the colour s are beautiful

[@bethlovesthings]

loved this video! so informative!

[@zoes.4210]

These stones are amazing! I used to have a dark red garnet ring like that but it disappeared :(. ( Also I feel smart now, I look for indicators when mining in minecraft 😂)

[@dalianartanian6215]

Love your channel ... I'm a gemstone collector....

[@wakiefonacier2428]

i have many type gemstone for sale if you interested i show to you

[@trevorholmes8635]

Wow, I have never been this early before. I also love how it's my birthday and this episode is about tourmaline, one of October's birthstones. I love this channel and keep up the amazing work

[@thingsofsuch]

Trevor Holmes holy crap,wow! Naw, just kidding, screw you loser!

[@krisg4515]

Happy birthday!!

[@whiskeywine5898]

👍nice work

[@coreymerrill3257]

Thats a cool shirt! The design is neat, but the color is AMAZING! Is your outfit always a hint as to what the video material will be... host lady?...idk your name ...

[@NotAppIicabIe]

👍👍👍 Loved this episode!

[@audschaeffer3135]

I wish i bought tanzinite ring frm Lord and Taylor's in 1980s! Gorgeous clear and bright and big!

[@terricampbell3179]

Honestly it is better and probably cheaper to buy rough and have it cut (or cut/cab it yourself), and make your own jewelry (or have it made) than to buy retail. Also, it gives it more meaning and is more fun. I found some pretty nice grey/blue bicolor moonstone and other colors like peach in my neighborhood in the garden rocks, some of it very high quality, and I plan on melting my broken gold rings to put them in once I cabochon them. I can already tell both of the best ones I found will give a nice cats eye effect, and I also have 2 small clear and flawless ones I plan on giving a simple cut, unless I find out the color tints will look better when cabochoned.

[@terricampbell3179]

I'm actually not quite certain the 2 small clear ones are moonstone, but they are slightly translucent, and white like quartz is, but one has a blue glow through it and the other a peach color (not labradorescence or adularescence, literally just tinted all the way through the stones.)

[@trumpatier]

@@terricampbell3179 sounds like agate. I used to find clear/white chunks of agate in the neighborhood rocks growing up.

[@firewoman7722]

Does the "Great Rift" contribute to the variety found there? What's different about gems/minerals found within the fault area vs. what is found in the outlying area? Funny how I & am sure others too, have been "programmed" by the original proveyors & marketers to recognize & associate Tanzanite by the color of the heat-treated version only. The raw forms are very beautiful as well & a few faceted & sold as an alternate color choice.

[@pumpkindiamond994]

Tanzanite or zoisite can be found elsewhere besides Tanzania.

[@coreymerrill3257]

This is a pretty darn fantastic video! So much good information for me to build off of. What is going on with peacock tanzanite vs. Peacock blue tanzanite i clearly see a difference in them As they have been presented and I Love the peacock blue. Elegence through understated color , great "fire" (or other apropriate term for the light hitting the mirrors in the stone)and simplistic settings like a plain band with prong mounting and some simple basket set stuff ,like trillion studs. What is going on with the kijani ? Is it mearly that it holds its green( yellow) coloration when heated or is it a sign of things to come may be sooner than we think and marketting formerly ignored material is now prudent to keep prices down ? Btw I very well might know ways to heat part of a stone and not the entire stone, from what i was trained in. Im not saying it wont take some work to addapt it. But that WOULD mean exclusive stones nobody else can make.

[@patrickbutcherine142]

It comes from my yard. I have a bunch of this stuff!! I thought it was garnets as well until I saw this

[@professionalfailure.fail-s2044]

This is freaking awesome

[@vickimartintingle3391]

♥️ love tanzanite 👍🏻

[@晶晶小屋]

The green tumaline shiwn in vedio 4:05 seems not chromium ion color, it looks more like ferrous induced color. Because it (color) does not looks so saturated in green. Meanwhile, the ferrion induced green looks a bit dark in green color, just looks like those two gems shown in 4:05.

[@tishsmiddy71]

Other than Opals , Peridots my favorite stone and I know it also can come from a meteor ! 🤟🏻❤️💋🥰i

[@jinaoneill328]

Its beautiful

[@dwddietz4779]

Awesome video info in this video on that area. Has anyone did research on the impactor matrix material that hit that area. Iron mass meteorite has carbon graphite inclusions.

[@RYNOCIRATOR_V5]

another interesting video, thanks! 👍

[@kreole7376]

A fellow Tanzanian brother awesome!!

[@baguzgemstone]

Wow..

[@tallyhorizzla3330]

Interesting fact,all meteorites found in Australia remain the property of the state or territory(including the Australian Antarctic Territory) in which they are found. No private ownership allowed,unless you acquire one from overseas. Make sure you have provenance.

[@houdini178]

watched dozens of ur vids.. but gawd, the dress on this one 💘

[@totaflorian5866]

BEAUTIFUL TURMALINE!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PatriceBoivin]

👍 but what's the link between chrome tourmaline and meteorites?

[@donniebroadwayjr3321]

👍👍 awesome show

[@nak8490]

Very good video. 👍

[@PaddyMcMe]

Serious question, why is it that in many stones (maybe all?) heating a brown area will turn it blue? I know that it works for heated Blue Diamonds and as mentioned in this episode Tourmaline.

[@johnny_pilot]

Awesome video... and Michelle is beautiful! 💜

[@forabug594]

👍 Awesome episode!

[@georgeerich1312]

How was tanzanite formed by meteorites? Thats what the thumbnail and title said

[@canadiangemstones7636]

It wasn’t. This guy spouts nonsense.

[@man-nongjong3497]

Is Gold considered to be a gemstone?

[@candyontherag8248]

I'm sorry to tell you this guys but Tanzania is not the only place that you can find tanzanite I found a piece of Tanzanite in Idaho and it was multicolored purple and blue at the same time so if it's only found in Tanzania then why did I find some in Idaho please explain

[@gems]

You may want to take that stone to a licensed gemologist for identification and appraisal. There are a number of stones which could possibly show both blue and purple colors. Iolite, in particular, is often mistaken for Tanzanite.

[@lordalexandermalcolmguy6971]

Great stuff

[@lighttheoryllc4337]

Tourmalines DO NOT get Darker the Bigger they Get, ONLY Chromian Diopside Gemstones get deeper Forest Green to Black-ish color in Natural Light, and even when placed over an L.E.D. Light, MOST cannot be penetrated by High Power L.E.D. lights. Just like that large specimen in this Video. By the way, I have Fist Sized Chromian Diopsides from Metal Meteorites and we have studied this already.

[@commanderdingdong422]

Thank you!! 👍👍👍

[@candyontherag8248]

So beautiful, and the gems are nice too!!!!!!🤣❤🤴😘 Wish you were mine 😉🤴❤😜

[@jenniferflorio3233]

Beautiful!!

[@Katobats]

Beautiful hands and stone😍

[@tmross4]

So which ones were from meteorites?

[@lighttheoryllc4337]

Jamie did not do an Elemental Analysis of the Gemstone and he spoke to Soon He is Wrong, and He needs to do a follow up Video ASAP

[@marvinhunter9180]

cool info about tanzania.

[@bobiijae790]

Chrome tourmaline are you kidding me I am a tourmaline lover I live in the state of Maine where we have watermelon tourmaline bicolor tourmaline black tourmaline and I have always been absolutely I hate using attracted but drawn to tourmaline it is a very old stone black tourmaline was used by shamans in the Native American communities and it's great for protection so I would love to get my hands on some of this chrome tourmaline that is just holy moly it blew my mind

[@stephenfowler4115]

It's hot because it's radioactive.

[@siddharthachakraborty2961]

I have same stone 263 gm. Hardnees -7.and scratch to glass esely.

[@corgems3951]

I will disagree! Indicolite is generally much more expensive than chrome tourmaline.

[@JustAnotherQuantumWaveFunction]

Great episode.

[@gems]

Thank you!

[@Dance-wk9wu]

wow i have one falling down on april 11 2021 thank you. .godbless great

[@MaryJoyEsling]

Wow ,,very beautiful..

[@sam-hx2bg]

Yes

[@feilox]

Have you reviewed the warcraft 3's Gem TD?

[@hajjoubiseyfedinne4423]

I have meteorites and I don't know where they are sold. I'm from morocco. the East

[@MistressGlowWorm]

Cool rocks. I want them ALL.

[@michelealdworth9297]

Hi there. What are the cost for each of the pieces? Let us know in the next unboxing. Thank you. God bless.

[@passionweasel3181]

I dont think you can buy those I've spoken to jtv cause I wanted some rough but they arent selling a lot of rough and these look like very important pieces and looks like is in his collection

[@dandelion9369]

why are they not using robots to mine the stones then ? Robots wouldn't mind less oxygen so they wouldn't have to use dynamite (which i imagine is doing a massive damage) 🤔...

[@RICDirector]

Im willing to bet that most of the mines are very small, too small or unsafe for machinery...on the other hand, solar powered fans to ventilate them might be helpful...of course, that wont help if it is that hot outside as well...

[@histoirelecroire7974]

What is it with outerspace and little green gems?!

[@garymingy8671]

Olivine..,peridot..iron in quartz . It's a universial building block...

[@alyssaguadagnini164]

I hope one of these days Natalie will finally get to keep one of the pieces she unboxes! I'm rooting for you, Natalie!😂

[@amineabidaly7204]

Gratitude Thank you Merci beautifull am in Madagascar Island Indian Ocean ...

[@autoquandary]

with the older closer looks, i always wished they showed some photos of the stones on the table/in their hands instead of just those perfectly-lit close-up of the gem structures and whatnot at the end. but now i miss those too! a mix of the two seems perfect to me 👍 but maybe they're having an issue in their professional close-up setup department or smth lol. either way i hope those shots come back!

[@pega6]

Rubelite and Indicloite seems a lot more expensive to me!

[@patriciaroysdon9540]

Indicolite.

[@777DVB]

Coolness loves it 👍

[@debramoss2267]

If someone could be a love and just make the big guy into a ring for me, I would be forever grateful, together we could save the world. Ready when you are, size 7, my heart is my payment. 💙💚💙
