lol ... is that what you called them? hehehe
So what did you call your weener?
*extends the video to 10 minutes using random footage of the rocks and rotating shots
Epoxy resin stuff
@@geremymbome9800 huh
Yup fake stones.
Thank you I’m moving on
Lol yeah
As a geologist that has studied at Harvard for over a decade, the amount of misinformation in this video is criminal
Where is the misinformation and what is the right please about the video only without the number 1 rock? ofc the last one is fake and showed a ball that is made up and I saw of video of it
REALLY this is WHY I want some 1 with KNOWLEDGE so they can VIEW my FACEBOOK PHOTO and Please TRY TO explain exactly what is going on with this KOOL little 1 inch ROCK' Hip' I have been ACCUSED by Fellow RHS to have HAD IT painted yes AND more then 1 Plus 1 RH a Lady says that its MAN made because it is just to Perfect in its Design . ThanK You .
@@kristalmacleod3215 firstly what is your facebook lemme see? And secondly why you're writing like that bro
@@abody6867 lol
Thank you. I didn't have to say it.
5:17 titanium quartz isnt natural it is coated with titanium. It doesnt come out of the ground like that
True
True! I made a video that addresses all of the other errors in this vid if you'd like to check it out. This vid has about 90-95% misinformation. It's astounding.
Exactly i had the feeling that this is too perfect to be true.
Whoever made this video doesnt know the first thing about titanium quatz!
@@ibrahimshakour7979 you're correct !
Came to the comment section for the rock experts. Not disappointed. Lol
How do you know they are not rock experts? One thing for sure your troll comment expert.
High Speaker Real rock experts are called “geologists.” That’s part of my joke. At least 85 people got the joke. 👍🏻 You kinda missed it...
guess I'm not a geologist.
Mike Yerke same here
I’m lovin all this rock banter!
"this is sunset opal" (shows five different pictures of five different rocks that are mostly man-made )
Quinn Calum biggggggggggvggg
i was just gonna say exactly the same..
So true this video is fake as
@Chris Ayala but you can put rocks on wood, cover it with clear epoxy and then make a sphere.
Yea what the hell
The Fire Opal was mesmerizing! Always one of my favorite stones besides the perfect deep green Emeralds.
The fact that this is still up 2 years later with millions of views and so much misinformation is incredibly disappointing..
And how the heck did it get so many likes?
@9:20 that's wood, opal, and some resin...
(Thats what I thought)
100%
That is true
It looked kind of like an implosion marble with simulated opals in it to me, but your description seems even more likely.
The fuuuccc.. Lol for sure!

How did you like his pronunciation of Tourmaline?

Sameee
No he is a rubix cube hounder
Insert HUGE frown face here .... SO much misinformation starting with the VERY FIRST Mineral.....
1- Labradorite
2 - Pronounced Tor-Ma-Leen
3 - Titanium Quartz is made in a Lab!!!!
4 - Stopped watching in frustration

Hey can you help with the first Galaxy Opal? Was that a real rock?
I actual found it was for action in 2013 but I can’t determine if it was naturally
Made.
@@scottbaker8528 that one was most likely natural. I remember seeing an Instagram post of this guy saying he bought the famous galaxy opal. its very small, but its real!
@@scottbaker8528 Yes, that one is a real rock. It is from Opal Butte, Oregon and is a contra luz precious opal with a jasper inclusion. I was able to track down some more info on it. I also made a video that covers all of the errors in this top fives video.
But the whole point of the video is to make us satisfyer with the visuals
Don't let thanos see this
I see all.
Thanos uhhhhhh April fools
Haha wtf
😂😂😂😂
I was looking for breaking bad joke but yeah
This video rocks
If you liked this you're clearly stoned.
😂
Nice joke xD
Lol
Jeez you hit me with doubles
Leave
"Galexy Opal" is my favorite! I always liked amber more than boring old diamonds. It has so much more character. Love those sun and skyscape opals!!
It's Edited image not real opal.
The Titanium Quartz looks so otherworldly, much more metallic than a stone. The Sunset Fire Opal looks like it was floated free from a bubble of molten lava that's encased in glass for people to wear. Last, but not least, The Galaxy Opal that looks so ethereal and somewhat spiritual, with encapsulated worlds discombobulated inside these gems. Out of the five, these were the most majestic, possibly that I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
Titanium quartz is treated to get that metallic appearance, otherwise its regular quartz
This video is full of false information. The guy talking has no clue about the subject he is speaking about. Several of the "galaxy" opals are man-made with pieces of natural opal in them. Titanium quartz, also known as aqua-aura, is man-made in a lab. It does not come out of the ground with those rainbow colors.
Thanks for clarifying that for me.
Oh that's sad, I had such a cool theory about them :( :D But thanks for popping my bubble before I got even deeper into it
True it has to be polished,shaped,cut and put in different temperatures
TheMagickhand
WHY DO PEOPLE ONLY REPLY THEIR NAME?!
sorry.
I'm no expert, just a casual collector but I know that Titanium Quartz is just natural quartz that has been manipulated in a lab...also those last couple clips looks like Resin casts with opals in it.
For sure! The last couple of clips show synthetic opal encased in borosilicate glass. Real opals would explode in blown glass, so only the synthetic ones that don't have plastic can be encased like that.
I made a response video to this one that fixes a bunch of other errors as well. Trying to get the word out about it :)
The mispronunciation of the names of the minerals is astonishing.
he pronounces tourmaline as tur-mi-line, downright hilarious
I know bur public like you can correct in comments. Everyones not a pro. But together if we share and refinecinformation we evolve faster. Your comment is important as their mistake. We need each others help. How much dont we know because fear clioses mouths , and dampens info.
The craziest thing about it is that webmineral and several other sites have pronunciation guides right on their mineral information pages. It's such an easy issue to avoid if the narrator doesn't know how to pronounce something and wants to know how to do it correctly.

literally the best trade ever
Still better than a dirt block
this video is full of misinformation, mispronounced terms, and misidentification.
and a lot of stolen footage
Timestamp?
but of course longer than 10 minutes
so hey lets keep this at 69 likes
DUDE WHY DONT YOU WANT THOSE GEMSTONES?! i do but i rather to have my own
Titanium Quartz is fumed in lab, not the ground.
Had no idea opals could be SO breath-taking!
Me: *DOING NOTHING*

2. Cmon. This joke is over used. Admit it they are cool. Just imagine your room with one of these.
@@originickname it’s just a comment
How does someone with zero knowledge of mineral specimens end up making a TH-cam video on the subject?
Sadly the internet is a place where every idiot can claim to know everything about everything without repercussion...
I was just saying that he clearly has no clue what he talking about
The background music, His voice, man the stones.
Thanos is sure to come.
But thank God it's top 5, no one knows were's the sixth stone is.🤗🤗
1:21 through about 3:16 is lifted video from the youtube vids of the Havey Quarry in Maine (and from Cross Jewelers.) That is tourmaline (tur-muh-lean, btw, for the narrator...which I think is an electronic voice, actually) from the Havey. You see my husband, the miner, Jeff Morrison, you hear from & see the hands of Sean Sweeney , our friend who is an amazing stone cutter, and hear me (Jan Morrison) when the watermelon was pulled out. The small broken pink may be Burmese; it isn't ours. We have pulled out pink, but haven't put it out for the public at this point. (It was a large broken crystal. Gorgeous, raspberry pink. Very intense coloring.) Happy we made this guy's top five. We love what we do! Check out The Havey Quarry on FB, and New England Mineral Association (also on FB, and, we have a website....conference is held in May of each year.) Note, the mine is *not* open to the public. It is a working mine. Thank you, Patrick B for cluing me into this site. LOL... sheez...
Jan Morrison this comment should be pinned! I will definitely check out the real video, thank you for sharing 👍🏼
Holy God of the Universe! Those are beautiful! God, the greatest artist!
Wow incredible nature..👍👍
it amazes me how such stunning and beautiful wonders can be found if you bother to look and how just scratching the surface can reveal the utter beauty of even the plainest looking stone . so lovely .
oni chan, only some of the stuff in this video is natural. The rainbow colored quartz has been coated with titanium, and most of the galaxy opals are just lab grown opals inside of handmade art marbles.
Most of these stones in this Video are man made not Natural
The titanium quartz cluster is a treated piece. Quartz exposed to titanium vapor in a controlled environment creates the iridescent sheen. NOT found like that in nature.
Correct.
how does anyone figure out to do that! sure was pretty
People have been treating stones for centuries to enhance their appeal. Heating was common to enhance color. Then irradiation, now this. Most of the topaz in jewelry is heat treated.
John Petty yep thats right
5:20 I found something like that over 25 years ago in my village, I throw it away in a cave, then I was young. I believe I can go back to find it.
Literally the most beautiful gemstone ever. That opal is amazing
If the man that broke the fire opal was on a dig team with me. I would give him nothing more than a blunt toothpick to dig with.
Novice
¡hahaha!😆
It killed me too
hahahaha
I would give him and his mates the direction to the gate. I could have cried. What a fool!!
Totally thought the thumbnail was click bait at first, but those galaxy opals are amazing.
x Rahl x
Yes, thats what i thought.
But its even more astounding now.
I gotta search some 4k pictures of those opals!
Only the first galaxy opal is real. The others are simulated opals inside of handmade art marbles.
Yes I was going to say the same thing, the marbles are just opals set inside resin.
Its wood opal and resin
they're fake
9:06 looks like resin or glass more like a rock
The fire and galaxy opals are just otherworldly, beautifully, exquisite
Those gemstones are absolutely stunning! Especially the opal! I'm so happy to have such an amazing stone as my birthstone!
"Absolutely stunning" because most of them shown in this video are FAKE.
Opal babies

Titanium quartz isn't natural. Tourmaline is pronounced TOUR-MA-LEEN. The first stone found is clearly a piece of labradorite being flashed to show its chatoyancy. Why would you make this video.
Brody Pazol to make money haha
Brody Pazol this is what u get when ipu get ur info from wiki
Thank you! Killed me to watch this misinformation garbage. 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 titanium quartz as natural 😂😂😂
Hey people have their different ways of pronouncing Crystals.
@@lil_woody_420 If you want to do that, try traveling... I have seen plenty of beautiful places and things by persuing the hobby of "rock fucking dude".
OMG 😳 that purple and one ! Just amazing!
Omg that area with all those stones!! I’d be in heaven!! Those pink stones are gorgeous!!
Ok
1) labradorite and the second museum piece has azurite (the blue part) malachite and some other minerals included
2)TOURMALINE GOD SAKES One of those minerals (the pink branchy one is something else don’t know tho)
Also he says it like three different ways
3) Aura Quartz is coated in metals, not natural. The quartz mine is just regular quartz/ smoky stuff. I’m impressed he didn’t include anything where these geologists said the minerals
The rest of the titanium quartz was probably metaphysics people displaying them
2) the poor giant fire opal? If that was even real... I’ve never seen opal mined.
The first cabochon is fire opal
The faceted stone isnt (not sure what tho
The third resin ??
Fourth probs actually opal
The fifth not sure ...
1) half of these are resin pieces
This video was great to see and learn from but now The inner mineralogist in me is crying
The geologist in me is offended that the video is titled top 5 rocks when discussing minerals as they are not the same thing by definition. While a mineral can be considered a rock that is not what he is discussing
The faceted stone looks like common fire opal, it is only in precious opal that there is the color flash, not all opals have it.
Fuck this video now I feel disappointed.. thanks for breaking it down I thought some of these were real :( the last one looked pretty resin so I guessed it was fake... Fuck
@@mitaskeledzija6269 the galaxy opal in the resin was real galaxy opal it was just in resin lol
opals can most definitely be mined with a pick and shovel
We found a large, hollow boulder filled with quartz once in a stream. It was too big for us to move so we left it to get help to lift it another day. It seems we weren't the only ones to find it though as next time it was gone. Grats to whoever managed to heave that thing out of the Nidd, lol
Wow.. incredible gems made from God's nature. Truly breathtaking ❤️❤️ thanks for sharing
Episode 1 on why this is on my recommended: Tuesday, 14 May 2019.
The way he said Tourmaline had me do a double-take
Yea...Me too, I had to stop the video and rethink everything I have ever known to be true in life........
omg thank you for telling me the proper name, i unsderstood pure meline
I think i have tourmaline....either that or Ruby......
The Galaxy opal is from Opal Butte in the state of Oregon. I use to work there at that mine. Much of the opal from there is not stable, but some is stable. I will say this, that mine produced some of the coolest opal I've even seen, such as this Galaxy opal. When that piece was found, it was originally name the Nebula opal.
Avalon Crystals ive been in copper mines in northern Michigan. Terrifying for me, i would be hard pressed to work in any mine.
The round opal at the end of the video 9:30. Is that a solid stone or was made? I ask because i produce similar effects using wood and epoxy turned on a lathe.
Galaxy Opal.. beautiful
I live in Oregon/Washington. Can one goto that area and find opals? Or is it all on private mining sites. Are they only found underground inside of mines or can you find them outside on the ground
@@thevancouverguy you can mine the opal fields in Oregon it also has Oregon sunstones and thunder eggs. When I was there in 2006 you paid by the bucket and you could rent the tools needed. Have fun I did.
Avalon Crystals m
Titanium quartz is nothing but normal quartz sprayed with titanium oxide then heated giving that nice man made shimmer lol 😂
... quando la bellezza indescrivibile ti toglie la parola!
7:46 The most amazing stone i have ever seen,
The one that they're rinsing is probably smoky quartz, then it cuts to an entirely different chunk of rock which is indeed titanium quartz.
I love that opal from Oregon. It is like a gulp of starlight encased in jelly. :)
BEAUTIFUL " PINK" WOWW💖💖💖
It’s easy to see why our ancestors thought these crystals were magical. Their beauty itself is magical.
The first sample looked suspiciously like Labradorite.
I was thinking the same thing..lol
Labradorite doesn't always display flashes of red & green. It's also worth pointing out the video footage of the stone is blurred, making it more difficult to work out exactly what is being seen.
I mean, he's clearly flashing the piece like it's labradorite. If it was azurite he wouldn't be flashing it at the camera like that.
orlando1a1 agreed
Maybe but the video quality isn't exactly that good to completely the mineral
The first one as it was turning reminded me of a galaxy. Stunning.The Galaxy opal reminded me of a fish tank.
I love the rocks
Roses are red
Violets are purple
I just got clickbaited
And so did you
Roses are red that much is true
but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
lol he edited it
@@mommykirogi yea he edited
HAHHHAHAAAHH YEP
No.
Diamonds are overrated.
Mikhail Angel they really are not
the first time I saw a big diamond was my mothers ring, it was 1.5 karats, brilliant with colors, I don't see many like that, and I never received a nice diamond, I was told I had to ask for one, lol. So now I just watch jtv at night and buy the rings like I like which are inexpensive
No, they really are. They’re not even that rare. It’s just that one family has a monopoly on the entire industry.
and they carry really bad karma with them
Actually he is right. They are overrated and practically worthless. The DeBeers corporation owns most of the worlds diamond minds and limits the amount of diamonds that come on the market, therefore artificially inflating prices and keeping them high by making people think its a rare stone. When in actuality, they are quite abundant. There are plenty of other stones that are truly rare and more beautiful then diamond.
*Bonus info: DeBeers is also responsible for making diamonds a thing on engagement rings. This started in 1947 when DeBeers began a marketing campaign that told high girls that it was the thing to have.
i liked the 3rd its beautiful
So stunningly beautiful I stopped breathing.
Titanium quartz is not found like that, but created.
they do the something to what is called mystic topaz
Patricia you are correct, it's man-created by vacuum vapor deposition of titanium vapor onto quartz crystals. I came to call bullshit as well but you beat me to it. It does not occur in nature.
no it doesnt....the cluster of what is refered to as "aura quartz" is not even the same cluster they showed being washed. moron.
Patricia Sheck como on i have it
Correct...I have mined at the Coleman quartz mine in Arkansas many times...The piece shown in this video is all clear quartz...Just stained...After soaking in oxallic (sp) acid it will be clear...
When I saw 5:14.. the TV show that my grandma was watching said “OOOH”.
XD
Charlie Bustos OOOOH.
OMG...the galaxy opal! Gorgeous! 🌌
I can't believe its so amazing, and now I'm planning to search rocks here in my country
When it's polished, the fire opal doesn't look like the "milky opal" cabochon (7:07) at all. It looks like the red stone following the images of the cab. The spherical green opal (8:59) is the most beautiful one, to me.
Based on my knowledge, Titanium Quartz is not NATURAL
Yeah, it is not. They make it through a process of vapor deposition.
I was wonderingggg
Yeah, it’s fake. Pretty, but fake.
I've seen the video of the guy hosing it clean but there wasn't titanium quartz in that vid, not sure how this clip put them together
It's natural, just bonded with titanium oxides to get the effect you see... Most gemstones are treated to get the desired look and colours and makes them worth more
I had forgotten how cool rock hounding was until this weekend when my gf her friend and I decided to go to a rock quarry a couple hours away and spent the whole day there and came home with a back pack full of stones.
Uau show Maravilha de pedra parabéns ganhou mais um escrito no seu canal 👍👏
Now I already have thoughts about digging on my backyard. 😂
@ 8:45 -- Hey Thorin, I think I've found your Arkenstone!
#2 is stunning how amazing are these opals
Amazing how natures beauty lays down deep under the earth
The fact that opals have permanent nebula, galaxy or giant gas clouds inside is just amazing, my favorite of the rare stones 🤩
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩I also love it
Those last stones are mostly fakes, the entire video is filled with misinformation and lies, but the last stone was the worst instance
It's fake LOL, It's a resin arts made with jasper inclusion. Natural Opals will never look like that.
It is still stunning
“Here are the fire opal specimens after being polished”... shows a couple completely different rocks, some not even real!
Yeah, glad I have some opal and excited to make something out of it.
This is why I love rocks
Oh my god. The guy who broke the whole rock in half...
He was so impatient! Even I would spend time trying to carefully pry it out!
6:37 That was painful to watch, but at 6:47 I died 💀
Why?
Beautiful gems. Thanks for sharing.
That Galaxy Opal is truly something else
7:02 real life fire stone for eevee. 😛😛😝
I love how the thumbnail is the galaxy opal symbol in 2k19
"Gasps" That sunset Opal is unbelievable :)
I’d feel lucky to have any of those! They are so pretty..
Love the wood burl and resin project that is being passed off as a rock
The last ones were so pretty i loved them i love the way the galaxy looks
these are beautiful these can rarely be in heaven
Omg that has to be so exiting. To get to the gems to see what you got. Awesome.
2k players know wassup with the Galaxy Opals
7:03 my grandfather got this tone in mountain and he display it in His room. He did’nt know if thats valuable.
I love the gemstones! So cool!
Stunningly beautiful
Who else came for the thumbnail?
*raises hand*
*looks around*
Oh...
5:15 is fake, Its just regular quartz that has been coated in titanium vapor, a judging by the look of it a lot. since normal rainbow quartz(also treated with a metal vapor) is see through
7:51 Whoa....that's real crazy, it totally looks like clouds in a really sunny skies.
I
Absolutely beautiful..
the way you lengthened the clips and took big long pauses between speaking to make it up to 10 minutes...
Mining diamonds with water hoses
Some of these rocks are mesmerising! 😲
That first stone in the cave was labradorite - Canada's known for that gem. The example you showed was azurite with some malachite though.
