That giant Aquamarine is ideal to be displayed in the entrance foyer of a great museum.

It will likely be in a rich guy's family room until they die and then it might get donated to a museum.

So amazing 😀😍 I like & love to watching this video, ok now I just want to sleep, be right back! When I wake up again, thanks 😊

[@hyphenizm]

came across this video while researching gems for an engagement ring. i think it's so cool seeing people geek out over this stuff.

[@christophehoszkowicz4181]

Belles pierres mais hors de prix!!!

[@goldcambodia]

Nice!

[@tangythang8668]

So in the 1 hour 11 to 12 minute area they didn’t even mention a word about that spectacular malachite that looks mostly black with those neon green rings going around it. Are those not uncommon? I’ve certainly never seen one. I’d have been oohing and ahhing all over it. Let me know where I can get one.

[@handrewmillan4293]

its just how the light is refracting. the rings move based on lighting and angle

[@OlivierBernard-n5q]

Thank you so much for thoses reports, it's a plaisure for me, in France !

[@oodz]

I think Lapidary Dave would make such a great host of this show. He has a vast amount of knowledge and can keep a conversation rolling!! Love him! Check him out!

[@jeffreymonahan6826]

Agreed 😂

[@mjade1673]

Wow😍

[@lightningtreeband]

Masks. not watching this

[@SouthParkStudio]

If you wish to live in a society, pee in pants and do a backflip! ❤

[@girlnextdoor369]

Shocked to see this! In 2022??! WOW- they are both wearing TWO masks?! Poor man looks like he is suffocating… sad that people bought into this. I’m with you- can’t look past the masks!

[@AvalonDreamz]

Wearing a mask to stop a virus is like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence!🤣They look foolish and silly. At this point they are completely brainwashed and boy, it's sad you would think these people actually educated. But they just look goofy.
