Hope you enjoyed this video! We tried to pack it full of info. Did you like this look at the more historic aspect of gemstones? Would you like to see more videos like this? Let us know!
As I've said to you before, I have actually decoded all of these, and it goes so far past just the stones into large discoveries in all ancient cultures. I've been studying this topic for more than a year after reading more than 300 books, and I'll be selling beautiful bracelets made of the best of *these* stones on the market now together with sharing my science paper and probably a really amazing book already. Lots of new researches are coming in the fields of language and media design. These 12 have been my inspiration from breathtaking Apocalypse and how many colors these can gift to our world. P.S. Carnelian is not originally the first 😉 And my list is 100, I repeat, 100% correct (sounds unbelievable, huh? But I've rendered this truth obvious in my paper). Original list from ~16th century BCE is so very different.
Yes, I enjoyed this episode. Yes, I'd love to see more videos that tell stories of the past.
Yes please 💎
Yes love your videos
Yes please! This video was so interesting
As a believer in God’s word, I am truly loving the fact that you were respectful of the stones in Aaron’s breastplate. The discussions were so fascinating. Stones and minerals etc. were talked about a lot in the scriptures, usually for good purposes, even David’s 5 pebbles. My large collection of gems and minerals are a reminder that God created them for us to use and enjoy. Thank you for today’s episode guys- I loved it. 🥰🥰
there's nothing too hard for God. =)
I am doing a year long reading of the Bible and was reading the part about Aaron’s breastplate a few weeks ago. It is super cool seeing what the possible gemstones actually were. Thank you, guys!
@D S Wow D S. R P's reading of the bible IS seeking of knowledge. I am a non-theist and I have no problem with people who want to study the bible. I've read it a couple of times. I am opposed to religion being brought into law or politics.

I believe the 12 stones of the tribes are revealed in revelations
Thank you for looking into the bible and history for this video. I follow Jesus and I also love gemology. I absolutely love this episode!
Love this episode! You can rack your brain forever trying to figure out which stones were used for this. I believe it was in God's heart to honor His servants with precious stones
This was such a great and engaging video and I really enjoyed all of the research you guys put into it! My mom was a Sunday school teacher until just recently, and I remember her having a card with small stones attached to it that were supposed to represent possible stones used for Aaron's breastplate. I'll have to show her this video because I know she'll enjoy and appreciate it! I also really appreciate that you took the time to showcase all of the different possible gemstones that might have been used rather than focusing on only one option for each tribe. Really well done and I'd LOVE to see more historical gemstone videos like this in the future! 🤩

The Hebrew names for these stones are for specific colors. The Hebrew word for Sapphire is about the same as English.The book I'm writing has a chapter about the stones on Aaron's Breastplate. I began watching this channel for help with understanding and identifying the different stones but I have my doubts that we can rule out the possibility of the Ancients being able to cut and engrave the harder stones. There is historical evidence of the possibility. I want to cite this channel as one of my sources and I've been wanting to send you a copy of my book when it's finished and ready to publish 🙂
@D S Jesus saves 😇
@D S Lol!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁🙃
We’d love a copy! You can always email us at info@gemstones.com. Hope this video helped!
@@gems Thank you. That'll be awesome! I learn a lot from you guys. Rebecca helped me with 4 stone names on 1 episode dealing with Topaz and Peridot
Michael, I'm sort of sorry to tell you the truth, but you're nowhere near 5% into the actual research if you have doubts about the hardness
Very good video for the Easter season ✝️ It's great you gave us so much information about both the gemstones and Biblical meanings. Keep up the good work and Happy Easter from Australia 🇦🇺
This was a very cool episode. The stories behind each gem were fascinating. Thanks for posting this video.
I loved this show with the biblical emphasis ! Thanks guys ♥️🌿😊
What an amazing journey! I really appreciate the crossover of geology and historical documents. It’s challenging to translate the names of the gems and I think you did a great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I very much like the incorporation of the history of the gemstones. Please continue this ! Thank you for a fascinating show.
I loved this one! Really cool with the translations and history. You guys are all so clever and I love learning all these things about gemstones. In awe of your knowledge! ❤️ If you look at all the colours on that plate you can almost see the Chakra colours that healers use. Do you think maybe that is how people have interpreted Chakras and crystals associated with them over time?

Chakras most definitely came after. I haven't studied Ancient India yet tho
Hi Y'all,
Great video..just in time for
Holy week of EASTER ..on sunday..thank you for doing this blog..GOD BLESS Y'ALL...😊
Breast plates or Birth stone, amethyst never gets mixed up
Enjoyed the biblical history lesson. God created all things and these are so many beautiful specimens.
Thanks for tackling this complex topic.
this is actually very useful from an archeological perspective. you guys included the actual logic behind the stones and the reference text behind them. you should make it into an academic paper
That was an awesome episode. You guys did an awesome job of determining what the gemstones were in the breastplate. It makes total sense and it looked awesome. Thank you for that. Great job guys.
Awesome video, thank you. I thought Libyan Desert Glass might make the cut.
Definite no, but it's beautiful
I love the detective work & history as you narrow down your best guesses.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video 👌🏾 🔥
Good one guys. Enjoyed that. Thanks
You guys are great! Thanks for being AWESOME
such an interesting idea for a video!! great job guys :)
Absolutely loved this video. Learnt heaps ❤❤❤
Another instructive video, thanks.
really enjoyed the style of this episode!
Very clever! That took a lot of research. Great job!
This is one of my favorite videos you've done so far! It's totally fascinating and I'd love to see more videos like this. Also, I'd really love a video about the gemstones featured in the pop-culture phenomenon Resident Evil 4. The original game got me into collecting gems and mineral specimens, and the remake has even more to offer in that respect. Hopefully someone is a gamer over there! In any case, thank you for all the information.
Thanks for this researched and informative video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice gem brothers amazing video to learn
Great job guys! You got me hooked now, will also make one. Thank you!
Awesome!
I love all the stones esp Lapis. I appreciate the time and consideration you went to research about this. Based on the availability and description I think this list will be more believable.
Another great video!! 🙏❤️
A super job. Thank you!
That was so amazing! Thank you for sharing. I think your research was pretty thorough! Would love to know what a biblical scholar would think of your research!!!
Amazing. Thanks for the effort. This channel is both entertaining and informative. Most of all able to see so many varieties of gemstones.
Thank you very much!
To be able to see the beauties is 💯 💪 Thank you, Gemstones
This is the first advertisement on TH-cam that I didn’t instantly try to skip through. This was interesting! I wish TH-cam pushed content like this more often.
gentlemen..... i think your correct.... all we need to do to lock it in is to see you engrave each one with time period accurate tools.... a simple x will suffice
This was so interesting!
yea I enjoy your video very educational channel more power👌👌👌👍👍👍🙏🙏
I was pleasantly surprised about y'alls Hebrew. Your pronunciations weren't too bad. It was nice to see some Jewish sources included, too.
Thank you ❤
Nice work!
So fabulous video 💎💎💎
Thanks 🤗
Verrrry interesting!
Really enjoyed this episode. Now I want to make one (without the gold plate).
This has been on my to do list for Hellas and you just totally simplified the whole thing so thank you
Gemstones' list is wrong, and they haven't talked to me though they knew I had the actual answer. Wait for my paper.
super interesting God bless
Cool idea for a video guys.
I was sent to Hebrew School and like that you acknowledge that most things in the Torah and later the Xtian book are not literal truth. !חַג שָׂמֵחַ
You're right. Still, the books' main purpose has been to mythologically combine the knowledge of the origins of human civilization, and the results, when canonized, were supposed to contain the essense of city building for everyone to know. The readings better be mega literal, word-for-word, for the best understanding.
Nice stones
I remember reading that the Egyptians threw gold and treasures to the Hebrews as they left Egypt. So maybe some gems came from that.
Egypt was practically the center of trade in the world at that time.
Perhaps the Hebrews weren't limited to the mines in near by areas.
Yall did a great job! Really enjoyed the video.
Yes, and here's another interesting thing to consider. They used the same names for gemstones and similar-looking glass. By the time of Exodus all turquoise mines have been depleted, and they hadn't valued it, like, at all. Not even placed it anywhere near glass that they considered even more valuable than most gemstones! Together with (weirdly enough, but most definitely) glass, Aaron's breastplate contained stones from Persia, far north, and various other places other than Egypt. And the stone that was popular in Persia was very rare to even appear in Egypt, at least until later times. Couldn't be any other stone though. Again, another proof that this view of this story is a myth. Ancient words better be understood in a bit of another way. 30% of Exodus used Egyptian words. And Egyptian has been quite a maze. That Hebrew from Egypt, unsurprisingly so, too. Many literal meanings. The word "canon" appeared in Greece, but this stones part of Exodus was a canon in that sense. A "let's use these words and build our civilization like this" kind.
Odem
And Carnelian is still popular
From my reading they would have every stone available to them leaving Egypt with tons of riches via the exodus also the ability to carve them from what they was taught in Egypt from building etc
Even their language. And this, indeed, was genius finding of some jewish slave. To match Egyptian glyphs they didn't understand well with specific sounds and make easily the most valuable discovery in history, alphabet.
Sphene is a yellow green and soft
As a graduate of gemology and someone who has studied Judaism Hebrew Arabic Latin Greek Roman history since I was three years old I think you hit it perfectly
Thank you!
@@gems no, thank you l! It's obvious the research you put into it I love watching your videos and it has inspired me to make a actual breastplate I'm going to do a white gold silver platinum and gold into a mokume gane for the back and sides of a traditional breastplate from time period in the front I will use 18k gold and inlay some purple gold in the edge with each of the gemstones you used I have large rough of almost all of them already and it will be tough picking what agate but I will pick out a large one with the most colors from my rough I know the shoulder harness and back and sides wouldn't be accurate but the religious text's focus on the front breastplate and believe it was the outer layer on the front breastplate because gold would be pretty bad armor and I like putting in the purple frame using purple gold just not a material many people use so I am inspired to make a new piece of art, your videos often inspire me, I then come up with the idea and if I have trouble executing the design then if it is a tool or polish John at gearloose is wonderful to everyone and let's be frank almost every modern great lapidariest uses his darkside laps or other laps that he invented along with the stick versions of the polishing agents he made I mean he is amongst those like Dr. Hanneman who also was a chemist and Justin k primm also gives amazing advice to anyone who asks. People don't realize how friendly and nice people are in the non-commercial lapidary world yes they all have products inventions and so on but they don't do it for the money it's passion John could have retired many times but as he said what would he do watch daytime TV and primm has a piece six feet from the hope diamond what more level of recognition of talent is there? The fact they still continue is a tribute to the passion and addiction this truly is. People may not admit it but you know you lick rocks too. Lol the lapidary arts gemology is addiction at its best my family has a rule twenty minutes max a day of me talking about gemstones because otherwise I compare or relate somehow everything to gemstones or lapidary work or making jewelry. Your can't help it once you get the bug. So I truly thank you for the inspiration.
I thought it was interesting.. Thanks
I say tarsus is MOP easy to carve and where did pearls first come from? persian gulf?
Pink or red tourmaline would also attract particles as it does attract lint and dust .
Great video, and very insightful. I have one question and one humble request:
Q: Instead of #7 being amber, what do you think of the warm stone being Amber's younger brother - Copal? Copal seems warmer/lighter to me and is made of the same organic material just not 10 million years old. Any feedback, pro or con?
Humble Request: As Rev 21 describes the 12 layers, could you please create a video talking thru each of the Revelation stones in a similar fashion? Are all of the same stones used only in different positions?
Again, wonderful video and delivery! Thank you for posting!
It’s an interesting thought. Of course, back then, methods to distinguish copal and amber would have been quite limited. The thought is that whichever stone this was, it was a particularly fine variety….your request has been noted. We did do a video on Gems of Heaven and touched on the foundation stones of new Jerusalem, but we’d love to go further in depth one day.
Thatd be the equivalent of a rapper's pendant 😂😂😂 Awesome work guys!!
These people's functions (chief priest & king) have been that of rappers! In essence, yes, 100% actually
Nice work, guys!
Thanks!
I enjoyed this video. I guess we have to go with what we got , but do not limit God after all he created it all and if he wants to engrave a diamond, it happened!
i have blue Amber with termite fossil pound here in Philippines
The Bible calls silver, silver everywhere in the text so I agree with your aquamarine.
The real stone was much closer to silver in appearance
whats the stone at 0:05? Looks like some sort of garnet or a red uvite to me
That is a red zircon in matrix
@@gems wow, thx! ill be adding that one to my list. I have one big zircon sample but its totally brown and not translucid.
The Freemasons co-opted the 12 stone breastplate for their rites... Any joy on mineral id there?
Views on Egypt of the time were, well, vulgar. And freemasons refered mostly to drawings like that on obelisks of Roman times.
I watch all your videos - I'd die if I ever got a giveaway geode as a new collector
Keep trying! We’re planning another live event near the end of April.
I will! I love the knowledge I get from all of your videos! Thank you.
NOFEKAH could be MOLDAVITE which came from the sky...❤
Genius idea for a video
De show mesmo 😊
So the 12 stones are the following?
1. Carnelian
2. Peridot
3. Garnet
4. Turquoise
5. Lapis Lazuli
6. Jasper
7. Amber
8. Agate
9. Amethyst
10. Aquamarine
11. Onyx
12. Jasper (again?)
Yeah, I believe #6 is chalcedony. Good catch!
I know you said the sky is not green when you chose the turquoise but if you go back in history they did not even have a word for blue back then
I was thinking the same thing as I watched this.
If I remember correctly. Most cultures refer to the day time sky as white.
15:13 That is Black Chalcedony. For it be labelled Onyx, it MUST display visible Banding. That Stone doesn't.
why do the names of gems get displayed so short of time?? I am trying to write down which gems are talked about in video. how could I get a transcript for each video? Close caption does not correctly spell the gem names. I am a slow reader. I am trying to cross ref which gem is talked about in which video.
Transmits light and is green? Jade moves light to the sides as part of its fiber optic type effect. Light abrading is possible not carving thou
The shAmir worm was what they carved it with
In Pakistan we call zabarjard Epidote
Tarsus is an ancient city in modern dsy turkey. Tarsals are tips, feathers.
wait....rubbing amber will attract small particles? someone tell me more
The breast plate stones are given in the New Testament as the stones of the 12 gates of heaven (12 dimensions). The vibration of the gates is the frequency of each of those stones. 🙏💜🙏
Eu tenho ágata supemba de linda
👍
As a Christian boy in a Christian family my dads favorite gem is Lapis. I even have a few specimens of Lapis
Are these gemstones all an isotrophic
Hi!
Star Stone
Pakistan is known for its aquamarine and I could imagine even in ancient times there being trade routes that would result in Pakistani Aquamarine ending up in Israel
❤
"Wicked heavy." Is someone here from Massachusetts?
Thay would all glow with aultra violet light
The danish word for emerald is smaragd
Unsurprisingly in German aswell
What is that blue watch long hair is wearing? Its so thin
It's a Festina! Unsure of the exact model, as it was a gift.
Although it was an option in your video a pearl wouldn't have been used because it is unclean (shell fish are unclean)
l hve muveng stone
Carnelian? It's orange. Ruby was a common term for red gemstone, so how about garnet or spinel?
The stones represent names, with meanings, conveying the Gospel. Men in their wisdom have become fools. Remember the appearance of the one upon the throne? The rainbow around the throne? Here is the interpretation by the Spirit of God and the Holy Scriptures, may the Lord give you understanding.
The Jasper is the last stone on the breastplate of judgment. The Sardine is the first. The Emerald is the fourth. Each represents a name and meaning. Jasper is Benjamin, son of the right hand. Sardine is Reuben, to behold. He is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, and many that be first shall be last, and last first. There is a rainbow of praise (Emerald, Judah, meaning praise) around the throne, meaning the manifold things to praise him for in all of his covenants. The Son of man, the Lord, is seated on his throne, beholding all the sons of men. Behold, the Son of God, the LORD, seated upon his throne and worship thou him. Blessed are the pure in heart.
Yahalem might have been Jade whitish nephrite
And other one I thinkn was pearl. Your excuse was that Pearl was "extremely rare" which is not really true. Diving for pearl was a common job for the people near the sea and pearl was mined for millenia and traded,
It was valuable but used and thats why it should have been one the gems used by them.
Gad you chose turquoise for the right reason I have seen many dont include it in the list which is ridiculous.
No, both suppositions 100% wrong
Turquoise is true since the very beginning though
