Crystal Classics does offer some of the best stuff there is. And I appreciate their desire to have something for everyone, including young mineral collectors, but I can't help but laugh when Bruce says "from a few hundred dollars". He needs to revise his notion of what's affordable or give up trying to satisfy everyone. Maybe 5% of all collectors in the Western World can afford "a few hundred dollars", and I'd guess about 1% worldwide. I'm not even talking about young people...
That young lady, Lauren (ya?) is so adorable. You can tell she's genuinely into it and being so young, she's not yet jaded, pun very intended. Although, something tells me even thenold timers never tire of gems and minerals. I'm 40 and there's no end in sight to my list and passion for these marvels. Part of me is glad there's a youngin spreading the gospel, but there's another part of me that's uneasy with the idea that more people interested means it'll become *too* popular, ya know? The market will be overpopulated with consumers, therefor bad business practices and unethical mining will increase. Same thing with rockhound youtubers. The last thing the world needs is a proliferation of rockhounds because it'll end up being like a swarm of locusts, only instead of destroying crops it'll be destroying the countryside. Because, lets face it, there are a lot of inconsiderate assholes out there who will end up trashing stuff and public collection will be banned. Ah, well. Too bad covid19 is such a nothing burger. Planet Earth is in dire need of a mass (human) extinction event. Mankind is like a really gnarly infestation of lice at this point. Sad, but you know I'm right.
The region of Gilgit-Baltistan, rich in natural beauty, is not only famous for tourism Rare precious and semi-precious stones of the world The center is also the area of Gilgit-Baltistan, where various types of precious and semi-precious stones, metals are found.
