I started getting teary-eyed seeing that 15 ft amethyst! Truly so awe-inspiring. Like an 8th wonder of the world. And I loved hearing the process behind how Michal excavated & reinforced it. What an honor to have one of those in a museum, it's truly a work of art

[@kmart1396]

Never did I think I'd be literally crying over the beauty of GIANT Amethyst Geodes but here we are and I couldn't be happier

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

I am so impressed with the quality of these videos. I lived in Tucson in the 90's and miss going to the TGMS every year. It's amazing how big the show gotten. Thanks for sharing.

It is so awesome to see you having so much fun. I'd like to see you go to more places, like small gem shops/crafters.

[@BlackHoleForge]

It has been a year, but I still appreciate the heart.

[@subliminalvibes]

This was SOOOO COOL!! What a great production, thank you for taking us around the show. I had no idea there were certain unique minerals which are only found exclusively from particular mines. Fascinating! 😃

[@777DVB]

Yes yes YASSSS! I hope I hope I hope you guys go back next year that would be so so awesome to see

[@truckerenoch8824]

My uncle used to have a booth there, but now my cousin runs it. They take stuff from the east to sell and they buy a lot of their merchandise there and sell at shows all over the mid-west.

[@jameslafy7667]

[@kaylahface]

That is so funny🤭 omg the artist who does the stained glass window looking pieces made me think “OMG he should make custom windows like that for the sun to shine through” and then he said that’s where his idea came from 😂❤

[@juntoemisturado1]

It's exciting to see the gems here in Brazil from the state of Minas Gerais where I live, it's amazing to see the gems from here in other places in the world .

Ours (Rijswijk, the Netherlands) is in 2 weeks. I'm hoping to get a big orb of blue amber.

[@jeanatchley2035]

I didn’t know amber came in any color other than yellow/orange.

[@KajiRider1997]

@@jeanatchley2035 it's still orange but under UV lighting gas in the amber turns it blue

[@acosta829]

We miss you Natalie... Portman

[@nak8490]

You're quite lucky. You should check out the Hong Gong Gem Show because while Tucson has the biggest Gem Show in America, Hong Kong has the biggest Gem Show in the world.

[@tammyphillips6299]

[@NotAppIicabIe]

Oh no I mistook the fossilized coral for a pastry 😵 It's cool tho!

[@scienceman159]

Hank could like this

[@boatymcboatface6464]

Why feature the parts where the collectors are spouting their cooky nonsense?

[@coldhazzard]

Collectors are cooky by nature

[@2001roserose]

Because its fun~

[@cupojo3183]

Boaty McBoatface If this is Cooky then cooky is amazing and fun

[@Nick-dx2pt]

Let people be they're not hurting anybody why are you being so rude for no reason???? 😒😒😒

[@Nick-dx2pt]

Do you believe in God?? Do you think God is cooky nonsense too??? If not then you're a hypocrite

[@mercadv]

You should visit hongkong jewelry show

[@daniellavender8888]

The Jerome fire was contained in 1916

[@marioblanco37]

[@ogama843]

[@s.a.agatemanufacture9915]

I STONE POLISING AND LOOK OUT

[@55ense5imulation4]

10:03 that's what she said

[@BeansTheAlmighty]

„my dealer won’t tell me where he gets them“

[@KQOAmericanLady]

Ummmm that dinosaur chic IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.

[@misha3872]

You should be quiet about things that you are not an expert in, everything she said was true.

[@KQOAmericanLady]

Misha Statcenko I study gemology, Historian, theology, and study anthropology Think I may have a opinion

[@misha3872]

KQ American Woman None of which have anything to do with dinosaurs, I study paleontology and actually know a bit about this stuff

[@misha3872]

KQ American Woman Just tell me which part of what she said isn't true? Or are you one of those dinosaur hoax bullshit believers?

[@misha3872]

KQ American Woman Seems like you have no actual argument huh
