The Red Island was the name given to Madagascar by sailors approaching its shores. Few are the places as rich or superior in gemstones.
This film takes you through the island as an explorer or more accurately, as a prospector.
You\'ll cross the desert near the Isalo National Park, inhabited by several species of lemurs.
In the midst of this seemingly endless road, a village becomes a city, Illakaka, where men, women and children are seeking sapphires. You will penetrate into the world of these miners; discover their joys, their sorrows and disappointments; but also their discoveries. When they are lucky, these findings are multicolored sapphires, or other fascinating gems.
Their fortune however is not always in the mission of this work. Men prefer to lose everything and return to their families in other parts of Madagascar.
You will be alongside some of them in a bush taxi that brings them back to a small village, situated on the highlands a few hours from Antsirabe. This isolated hamlet of the world lives in autarky, from generation to generation.
A few houses have been constructed; live animals are raised; schools where children learn to read and write; and a few buildings encompass the composition of this self-sufficient community.
The Characters.... they are more characters than inhabitants living in this village. There is the chief Gabi, the sorcerer, the schoolmaster, and the villagers who live together in perfect harmony.
They eat mostly rice for nourishment, as is part of their culture, but when the need arises, tourmaline mines are near, and they can easily go out and dig for beautiful crystals.
With this film, you will dive into the lives of the researchers who use the crowbar, but also witchcraft to find these tourmaline crystals. They are often bicolor, green on one end, pink on the other.
These discoveries will be sold to some buyers, or taken to the nearest town to be sold in the market.
In this film you will discover the various intermediaries that allow these tourmalines to reach the cutting workshops of Antananarivo.
Finally, selected and cut gems will adorn the creations of jeweler Jean Vendome, and we will open the doors of his studio for you.

After 3 days of binge watching this channel I have finally finished all these Gemstone documentaries! I knew nothing about gemstones besides very basic knowledge and this channel has shown me a tremendous amount of knowledge about different gemstones.. Thank you!! I am now looking into collecting various gemstones as a hobby.
I like how you humbly sit, watch, and listen to these often unique peoples and weird beliefs, without being any kind of judgmental.
I wish I could afford one of your trips, I would trust you to show me around to significant things, not just a glorified travel agent.
Really hooked with this series of documentary. Hopefully a documentary about Paraiba Tourmaline mining will be made.
Danny Valentin I found the crystals searching for diamonds in my youtup channel ➡️ cambaz cnl
I WA t to taste ur
brave camera men and Patrick for walking into crumbly mines like this to record the history.
I was just thinking the same...
Love these series!!!!
Great documentaries, loving getting the background and context of my favorite topic, gemstones in general. Keep them coming !

I really love all your documentaries..they are all very educative. Thank you for doing this! Love from Malaysia.
Incredible , also reminds me of the movie “The Gods must be Crazy” ❤️👁Blessings From Northeast Alcatraz U.K. 🏴😎😜🤞♒️
best hours of my life watching these documentaries. Thank you
Wow so beautiful tourmaline.
Love his series
Love your videos!
Fantastic documentary. Tourmaline and opal are both my birthstones, for the month of October.
Beautiful documentary, very well made
Amazing experiences from my bedroom .. thank you.. liked and subscribed
Oh!,come on....it's not over already? This video was a lot of fun ... really showed great characters in a lifestyle setting I think is very good for their souls. I wish good fortune on all these fine people. And thanks always to the producers.
Shows like "Gem Hunt" and "Game of Stones" are scripted bullshit. These videos are the REAL DEAL. My sincere compliments!
Could you pls help me finding similar background music for a project of mine, where to find such music to use?. I just adore the background score and the initial storytelling!!!
Very interesting.
Keep up the good work :)
At 23:45 the old woman is thinking

謝謝~♡♡♡♡♡
How much the villagers get by kg?
Which year was this...?
how much per carat the price of tourmaline now?
Would be nice if episodes had currency exchange rates. I don't know how to tell what things sell for at a local level.
I need to get some tourmaline
I'm almost jealous of the people of that village. What a life.
❤️
I enjoy watching these videos on mining in other cultures. The only thing I hope, is that these people are being treated fairly and are being paid what these amazing gems are worth and not taken for granted. I know how ugly the gem market can get and these people being cheated would be horrid.
32:00 "let's dig up the bodies of our relatives and dress them up!"
after the coronavirus you should do a documentary about all of ohios gemstones
75,000 ariary is about 20 usd.
This was more about rituals than tourmalines
Tsetsi I think it’s great to see the wider context of where the gems we wear so casually come from to be honest?
Too True....Skip to 49.00 for two minutes of stone work!
Either way you perceive this video, at least Dick Rodstein is the narrator of it. His calm, soothing voice goes miles in telling a good story. And Patrick Voillot knows a great gem of a voice when he hears one.😎
I am amazed at the comments that people make. Really I really like this video on Tourmalines very informative on the subject. What are you talking about mostly about rituals. Holly shit dude really are you brain dead? Now that's a stupid comment.

God have mercy on them allm weve ripped every precious thing from the busom of mother earth. And she is running out. What did people think would happen. ? A lifetime supply . ? 😂😂
Makes me not want to support them soothsayers by buying stones. It's like a cult.
You are cult head .These people have very hard life from yours .Think about that.
Your films are wonderful but the continual band of advertising is totally distracting and annoying
