it's still a bit violent nowdays. i remember when i was in high school, a classmate was the son of someone who worked with emeralds (esmeraldero, in spanish), and his father was murdered right in front of the school. They were leaving for asylum in panamá that exact afternoon.
Emeralds are my birthstone, and i'm colombian, so of curse i am saving my money so i can get an emerald ring! Oh, and if i ever get engaged, i want an emerald. I love emeralds!
I recommend colored stones over diamonds. Its more pre 1940s traditional. Birthstone engagements are very cpl cute & meaningful. For what you pay for mod size, mid grade diamond you can get a really nice emerald, Tanzanite, sapphire etc. of cpl cts. It will retain value. No one wants a diamond back.( I don't, unless its large VERY good qlty. Sorry pawn shops 4 drs down) Take grandpops 4 ct emerald to jeweler watch us froth. Lol. Tanzanite WILL be mined out in 30 yrs. 2 mines are closed. Like Russian Alexandrite (essentially)mined out, prices will skyrocket. My personal fav Padparadscha sapphire. Pink of lotus & glints of orange like sunrise of Bengali bay. Good luck.. happy hunting 💗
@@roberttyrrell2250 exactly. I’m a corporate jeweler and I see diamonds all day. 🥱 so boring. But when I see a beautiful natural emerald or sapphire or Ruby 😍 I’m mesmerized. Natural opal and tanzanite as well, unfortunately haven’t seen alexandrite in my work yet.
I loved these stories and the history you shared. I am purchasing a (very) small emerald ring Tuesday and this is making me appreciate it even more. 💚👍
Great story of a spooky helicopter ride. The beauty of the Emerald gem-stones. No wonder there is such security. If they relax their security, another country would come in, do away with all arrangements that have been made to miners and their families and blast the mountains down, to get at the rare gems within. Thank heavens they keep that level of security. The scenery was vivid and stunningly beautiful too.Thank-you
A little piece of advice: rooting for mass murderers isn't cool. You can love the gems, just don't sound so excited about how criminals got them into their hands. Doesn't matter if those pillagers were white or not, but it looks specially bad when cheer for them and you're white too.
It is beautiful. I also like Siberian emeralds. Have you ever seen them? I actually own a ring with a 1.4ct Siberian emerald and it is bright grass green. Beautiful.
1:36 no it would have not. This is the time period los españoles killed and rapped. Enslaved the the natives and killed them if they dared practice their religion. Children were ripped from their mothers and forced to fallow the catholic religion. I could go on but I’m sure u get the point.
I have always looooooved Emeralds , since my grandfather showed me his , i was around 7yo ... I inherited it 😍🥰👌🏻😎 I will away lovem ! I try to collect them 2 ! Though cant afford an expensive one like u showed ...😭... Thank you for sharing them among the info 2 us 👍🏼👌🏻😎😍 ! 🍝
the host glorifying murder so that emeralds can be stolen and exported makes it really hard for me to justify enjoying gems. I really love learning gem history but we all need to acknowledge that it's fucked up.
“Wouldn’t that be a beautiful time to explore and find gem stones” wile subjugating and killing off natives by the thousands decimating entire populations. But those gem stones though!
Yeah, during that I was thinking "the colonization, the rapes and murders, the spread of disease...." I love these videos (and I love emeralds - my birth stone!) but that was a big ol' yikes from me. 😬
Wow! Really enjoyed this video! Natalie, your enthusiasm is contagious as always and Jay, I could listen to you all day long. Now I love those little green miracles! Thanks!🍝
The fact that this channel sees these comments on how tone deaf this video was, yet only like the one who support them shows how ignorant they are. While I love gemstones, I will be unfollowing this channel due to their obvious lack of care for people's concerns, in addition to glorifying the genocide of Native Americans. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed how disgusting this episode was.
@@FrancisBalgos people were raped and murdered (a literal genocide happened) and they’re glorifying it because all they care about is “oh wow pretty rock” jesus christ how on earth am i being self righteous for pointing out their willful ignorance and refusal to admit their mistakes
I am from Mohmand Agency near Afghanistan border have good quality swat and Afghanistan emerald.but not have any access to market.secondly we have Nephrite mine here at village Aoutman khel..so please guide me.how to get access to the market.Thank you
I like vivid medium to dark blue green .metalic Spruce blue green with a sky blue to teal reflection... almost indictolite colors but with strong green hue. Emerald is just perking my interests. I have one little piece. It is supposed to be not oiled, not poly filled, no glass, un-heated and un-treated I'm any way . For all material...I am sceptical...we shall see soon. Sorry to blab .I love gemstones so much.
Boomer: "It was on the 5th campaign that they were able to finally conquer the Muzo Indians, and they did it by bringing in large attack hunting dogs." Natalie: "You know, that is what's so great about the gem history." Holy shit JTV, your production team isn't that white is it?
Wow, this is the most tone-deaf episode ever. First off let's not celebrate the eradication of native peoples, it's disgusting. Also since Egypt traded with Zambia during the time of Cleopatra that is probably how she got hers. I am disappointed and disgusted in this episode.
I agree and so do many others. I am very disappointed in the channel for not acknowledging this issue even though they see it (they've liked almost every comment that does not comment on this issue).
Mod to heavy Oiled emeralds will need to be re treated over time. Its poss. Finding someone to do so, can be a task. Fine jewelers & brokers have contacts. Using epoxy silicate stabilizers like Opticon does deteriorate & discolor over time is not re treatable. It does make gemstones brittle. Care in mounting should be taken. Too tight prong could chip it. But if you're using a stabilizer like that? Its already poor quality hard to cut, far less expensive. There are very nice chromium emeralds coming out of Peshwari, Panjshir, Afghanistan bright green. Unfortunately they are still not allowed to have explosives. Making their own, Using leftover un exploded ordinance from the war. They end up destroying many of the crystals. For Purist, Muzo is the only true emerald.
what about swat pakistan emeralds? why you people always mark colombians as most precious? we have swat emeralds and believe me if you see it you will forget colombians...
Don't start talking stupid, please? I'd like to watch this show in peace. Reincarnation is a worldly concept invented thru Hinduism, a truly Un-Christian belief. So, let us watch in peace, will you? We can't listen to rubbish in peace.
Hooray for the Muzos for fighting off the conquistadores who were taking their emeralds!
Cannibal Savages
& eating them raw
@@snowywhite2160 very well deserved, If you ask me!
Why do you root for cannibal savages?
To me, the deeper the green of the emerald, the prettier it is. The specimens you guys have in this video are so beautiful
VERY GOOD VIDEO - THANKS FOR THE EFFORTS!
That's some violent history just for emeralds.
it's still a bit violent nowdays. i remember when i was in high school, a classmate was the son of someone who worked with emeralds (esmeraldero, in spanish), and his father was murdered right in front of the school. They were leaving for asylum in panamá that exact afternoon.
I love gem collecting adventure stories. More please 🙂
They are all beautiful I can see why emerald is her favorite. My favorite is aquamarine.
Emeralds are my birthstone, and i'm colombian, so of curse i am saving my money so i can get an emerald ring!

Agreed that emerald is the most attractive gemstone, no other is so stunning or mesmerizing, especially in person. Top episode!

Wow amazing
Great episode, loved jay and his knowledge. Watching this while wearing emeralds from Brazil and Zambia.
always a good time to be had when Jay's around 🍝. those emeralds are stunning by the way!
Excellent infomation on Emeralds, please discuss other important mining sites and sources of Emerald

Emerald has always been one of my very favorites
It is beautiful. I also like Siberian emeralds. Have you ever seen them? I actually own a ring with a 1.4ct Siberian emerald and it is bright grass green. Beautiful.

Very interesting about this gemstone. I didn't know you made a book 📗💎, that's great. Nice review.😊🍝🍕

Interesting! I was just trying to find some info on emeralds✌️🍝💚
the host glorifying murder so that emeralds can be stolen and exported makes it really hard for me to justify enjoying gems. I really love learning gem history but we all need to acknowledge that it's fucked up.
Love this.
What's is price please of emerald Muzo Cristal?
Hey, what a coincidence! I recently purchased a Zambia emerald a couple days ago!:D
Speak on Habachtal emeralds from the mine in Austria...thank you..
“Wouldn’t that be a beautiful time to explore and find gem stones” wile subjugating and killing off natives by the thousands decimating entire populations. But those gem stones though!
I was thinking the SAME things
Yeah, during that I was thinking "the colonization, the rapes and murders, the spread of disease...." I love these videos (and I love emeralds - my birth stone!) but that was a big ol' yikes from me. 😬
Ok boomer
Yeah the world was not untouched by any means.

In which place emareld 8:24 emareld Canada
Hello how are you, I hope you have a good day. I want to know the price of an emerald
Wow! Really enjoyed this video! Natalie, your enthusiasm is contagious as always and Jay, I could listen to you all day long. Now I love those little green miracles! Thanks!🍝
Why are emeralds so often cut into rectangular or square "emerald cut" shapes?
Think it’s because of how the Crystal is structured

Gawd! People with stories to tell cant even be given space nowadays because of self righteous Karen's.

Only if the emerald is in sterling silver otherwise not worth it.
The Sterling silvers worth nothing…
I don't have any italian food emojis sorry.
Ravioli, ravioli! Wish i had emeralds only!
The women is so annoying, she is like lets get over with this video and tries to cut short his story.
Explorer more like colonizer
First
emeralds suck because this oil wow didnt know emralds where technically worthless
They come from villagers. Obviously
The Native Indians would fight with other Native Indians. The world was about brut force conquest.
My ancestors were conquistadors, I'll have to trace them to see if they were there
