The ‘Garimpeiros’ make a run towards the exit of the mine gallery; they have placed dynamite in the walls that will explode in a few moments. An abundant amount of dust pushes its way out through the gaping hole. The three men take their time for the air to become breathable again... They enter with a rapid heartbeat as always, but this time a gap has opened up, leaving us to discover a major fault, in which lies a "monster." A rock crystal that visibly weighs an estimated 5 tons.
This documentary will allow you to take a glimpse into the world of Brazilian ‘garimpeiros’ that search for the largest crystals in the world: the Giant Crystals.
In the city of Araçuai, in Governador Valadares, the miners, the dealers and the collectors have no limits as to the weight or the size of the gems they collect.
You enter deep into their lives, discoveries, and their traditions.
Along the way you will also discover the mine of Capon near The Ouro Preto which produces the Imperial Topaz with colors ranging from golden yellow to mauve.
Then the South of Brasil, in a town called Amethyst, you step into the depths of the earth to discover amethyst geodes so large, a human body in its entirety may enter within. These geodes were formed in lava lakes at the time of the great dinosaurs.
These exceptional gems are used in Brasil for esoteric practices and in New Age ceremonies which you will gracefully enter through this film.
You can then view in this documentary, the most beautiful crystals, which are exported to the collections of museums, such as the Museum of Natural History in Paris, now closed for the general public’s eyes to see.
You will then witness before you, creative works of art of Munsteiner’s Jewelry collections, realized from these giant crystals of Brazil.
These documentaries are absolutely the best. I have been around the world purchasing rocks and minerals from many of the same vendors shown in these documentaries and I can testify to the accuracy of the information provided. I have also learned a lot of things that I didn´t know that I didn´t know.
Very cool. Retired Geologist here; I enjoyed watching this. Thanks for posting.
I love this documentary series. I went to this store in Minneapolis with my daughter once and I was just blown away at how many unusual rocks, gems and minerals there are on this planet. I just wandered around in awe. It's called Enchanted Rock Garden. I have to visit it again soon. I've always loved minerals. It was my favorite class in school. I think I have to take up rock hunting for a new hobby. There's nothing more amazing than what this Earth produces. Even common rocks are fascinating. Only humans make something of value but your average stone is just as awesome.
I'd love to see a human make an emerald. They 'think' they're making diamonds. But its not. Its man made. Only the heat and moving Earth can make diamonds.
I love it! Stoped the video and purchased a Brazilian geode directly from Brazil. Always wanted one.
21.00 the young girl . A mother working the Mine. I wish you and your family... The VERY best in LIFE!! May the good LORD bless you and yours. Aloha from Hawaii
I was thinking the same thing about her, what a hard working mother & wife!, ...I was thinking like ..."hey, why don't YOU sell some stones by MAIL now that you have been seen by so many people in the media?", she deserves better compensation. I doubt their "partner" was making an honest 50/50 split either. "Aloha" to you too from an ex-Hawaii resident (30 years), "Hawaii No Ka Oi" 🤙🏽
It makes me sad to think of industry buying and cutting up the giant crystals.
Thanks so much for sharing. Crystals have given me a new excitement for life.
I like how you embed the crystals inside a matrix of history, mythology, and social interconnection. Subscribed.
Nice pic.
I love Brazil, been there five times. Each time I bring back quartz, topaz, aquamarine and blue topaz. Now, that I know there are other places to shop, I will visit them when I return soon.
Natures wonder and beauty never ceases to amaze me.
Stay away from Crystal's

Love This video! EPIC ending lines.
Such hard working people!
good job on this series man.
Love this documentary, thanks so much for sharing this ❤️
Fantastic documentaries. I am so glad I found them. When I was in Rio I bought a beautiful necklace of Imperial Topaz.

These guys are a bunch of thieving fucktard's
Note, " for military purposes " so where are the environmentalists on this ravage of earth? Steal from the people and keep the people poor!!
these hard workers taken advantig of because of the" G.P's....GREEDY PIGS......I am passing the GP,s...GREEDY PIG,s on for everyone to pass on to everone.....G.P,s...GREEDY.....PIG,S!!!!!
You have bought fake ones unfortunately for you!
Thank You! Shared
Excellent
Great video..
Why are humans so fascinated with crystals? Our fruit picking semian ancestors had something to do with color preferences, and it is a kind of hunger one feels when fondling a beautiful gem. There's something more though, something dark and forgotten way back there in human history. So far all of our collective memories still haven't remembered the lost secret of the crystals.
EarthWise 🌎Amazing Patrick, Will be in contact ✅
Beautiful
What a great video !! i live in Minas Gerais, the farm were i live has an old ammetist mine where i started last year to dig using big machines to remove material, it has already shown signs that the big crystals will have the shine of the ammetist on the endings. im really hopeful !
dudubrodie how is it going now?
Blessings, prayers and good luck to you and your family, happy hunting, it's a passion of mine as well, always looking down to find a beautiful stone, doesn't matter to me what it is ❤️ take care, best regards
something I noticed in this video different from all others is the entire industry chain is run by brazilians no foreign intermediates and very professional industry. no wonder Brazil is becoming a major world powerhouse they seem to have left the third world pattern for good.
Beyond stunning!!!
Thank you for uploading the video. Found this really fascinating. Any idea what year this was filmed?
i hop you sukses bro thanks for yuor video
In Minas Gerais the mining still looks like colonial times. And obviously these people are being slaved they got nothing for those crystals.
That guy running tho from the explosive. Oh my 😂
Love crystals all colors, sizes, shapes what beauty to hold feel and admire. Why I don't know just love them
Wow it's amazing
21st Century and parts of the world is still in Stoneage! Great educational documentary thanks for sharing.
Belo documentário, como sempre. Vivo em Minas Gerais e fiquei impressionado com a riqueza de detalhes acerca da cultura e dos usos relativos à extração mineral de cristais daqui. Excelente!
My ex-wife created a monster years ago when she dragged me to a mineral show to get 'New Age power crystals',which I thought were hokum and quackery. I bought my 1st short wave ultraviolet light there and my obsession was off and running. I collect and buy fluorescent minerals. The right kind of crystals from a limestone quarry or metamorphic mine will not only be beautiful right out of the ground,but will glow under uv lamps. I have yet to make it to the best fluorescent minerals in the world,Franklin,New Jersey,but I bought a few. What looks like a drab,grey-white rock,under uv shows 3,4,sometimes 5 different minerals,each glowing a different vibrant color. Astounding. Did you know that when you look at a naturally formed crystal,you're seeing how the atoms fit together,blown up to a visible size? Wonderous things! Please,look up Franklin,N.J.,and see for yourself!
The yooperlight ones are the granite that was up on Lake superior do that
Fantastic info.
You can find Crystals here in the USA in Hotsprings, Arkansas there is a Dimond mind there as well. My husband and I went there and found beautiful Crystals and rocks. I love going up north to Lake Superior there we find agates. I love rocks!
13:52 Wow that aquamarine the guy just pulled out is huge.
I enjoyed this documentary.
...UNFORTUNATE THAT THE DAMN COMMERCIALS SCROLLING ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WERE SO ANNOYING.... I FINALLY WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE TO WATCH. I GUESS ITS TRUE, SOME PEOPLE COULD SCREW UP A WET DREAM!
Exceptional documentary, exceptional crystals, Exceptional Earth! 🌎
We take, so we must put something back. The holes and caves that run dry, need filling with something that has positive energy and is good for the earth.
An idea will surface...
Care for this living-giving planet. ✔
Impresionante lo que La madre Tierra nos da,hermosos cristales
Incredible stones. Sad they are all being harvested and shipped overseas. Millions of years in the making. Should be left intact.
謝謝~♡♡♡♡♡
Great video thank you
The man with a bowl cut telling me that putting my head on a crystal will give me clarity? Should have put his head on the crystal BEFORE he got that haircut! Haha
Geodes are so beautiful. It would be nice to have a pair of people sized geodes, drill small hole in the bottom and LED light them up from inside so they look like a glowing couple ! :-)
So sad that these beautiful crystals are damaged
Iam sorry to have to tell you guys you can't improve a crystal that was formed closer to a trillion years ago by making random cutts in it if he thinks he's an artist give him a paint brush and some paper
This world is so upside down. Here are these guys risking their lives, and thanking God for things being good. And that Guy sits in his chair saying it's getting hard because cost of labor is going up, when he lives in the lap of luxury.
Ahhh. before our globalized, super connected world, a land and time where there was still secrets, mystery, and treasures
Traveling back then meant something. Now, I don’t even need to leave my bed to see the world.
The French crystal display @ 50:05 is shocking. So incredible.
I usually love and appreciate the arts of mankind but a giant natural crystal should be left as is.
the market is already flooded with these common minerals, Nice looking but not worth much to me and I collect rocks too
I agree with you on that. With the gem market flooded with synthetic gems, a beautiful specimen is more appealing.
@@andrewcannon587 ,, I collect rocks too and Man can that get exiting. Try cutting them.. Awesome patterns.
Crystal in Brazil sold as gemstones in raw...so overpriced ..and they export tonnes of them overseas for peanuts...ridiculous!!
Have u seen the crystal cave in Mexico? They won’t be taking any of them out and plan to leave them there and when they are finished in that area of the mine they plan to fill it up with water as it was before they found it.
I'm more amazed at how they keep their whites so white in those conditions than I am of the crystals.
Nice film, but i believe it’s from 20 or more years ago.. the capo mine at present is not mining in that pit they show here,..And Varig is past history..
I'm sure this is fascinating if one can get past the constant, distracting adverts scrolling along the bottom of the screen.
never noticed them...
Wish you would have shown more of Mr. "since 1936"'s collection!! It must be wonderful...!
This is a old video l quote=The market value of topaz varies greatly, ranging from approximately $8 to $749 per carat
as of September 2014. Its worth is determined by a number of factors
such as weight, color, clarity, cut and shape. A gemologist must
appraise the gem to provide an exact estimate.
I get it now ! It's all about Patrick....
Lovely baked amethyst, I mean citrine.
Topaz is known for its fading of colour..is this occurance any different? Beautiful stone though ,and I remember seeing a photo of a single blue topaz taller than a man & 4x his width.good luck!
This was very interesting. A real shame to sell for something so insignificant as money. TY
How cool would it be to have a bathtub or handwashing station made outta those geodes😲
No thanks. Those crystals are pointy!
There is several large crystal outside of Magog, Quebec Canada
I am wondering if the topaz is being damaged during the processing, the topaz look beat up and cracked.
Much cheaper and safer and to visit the caves and museum in Idar-Oberstein ;-)
I am investigating the supply of Chrystals, as I want to acquire one, and if possible, ethically. Completely new to the subject, I am experiencing a growing anger at the way humans exploit the Earth for these ancient items, which will take hundreds, if not millions of years to replace. Caught up in this dilemma, I would like to say that perhaps we have enough now, and all mining for Chrystals should be discontinued. 😎❤️🌍
An perfect picture of exploitation of the poor Brazilian people. Those miners were probably making less than 100 dollars per month and that old man was not ashamed to say that the mining of these gemstones is getting harder because the labour costs are rising.
The M'Kraan Crystal, marvel comics.. jaft and modt, the two precisians guarding a Ksomic memory crystal, and superman as well, when sucked into the machine///
I want one!!!
Make a beautiful braclet!!!
People work hard to dig these up only to barely survive.
Will they ever replant the forest they tore down?
do you?
Gd 1, lol!
We all love these gems but who loves the planet enough to let it be?
Everything this planet produces, produces for us humans, don't behave like a child that lost his toy.
Well you can't take it with you when you die. So it will stay on the EARTH.
Originally some of these crystals were and still are used for making radio RF oscillators crystals.
They haven't used natural quartz crystals for oscillators since quartz crystal synthesis was developed over 75 years ago.
Gem crystals do not take millions of years to form. The conditions necessary last only a few years at most. They do sit underground for millions of years. The highly evolved apes called men then dig them up.
Looks like they are still using the old carbide lamps.
A beast alright! Mega crystal...God is great.
The crystal is a God and you are a beast for not recognizing it, my how humans have a skewed sense of reality,, use disparaging words to describe something amazing and give all credit to an imaginary source, truly the height of stupidity and ignorance
I don't know why I always thought the Topaz was like the Emerald but a different green
Golder
I used to poo poo crystal therapy and most of it is junk but they have found when exposed to a power source or sound that crystals can vibrate at frequencies that can affect the body.
Is the name of the preferred shop spelled, Govina Duo?
Just wondering if you could put more ads in.
~13:00 Paraphrasing: "...If you want to find some crystals I'll make phone call...(then after making one short phone call) ...I now have another number and if you like I can call them, but IT'S NOT EASY" (Makes second short call ) "...you can find crystals at..."
Well, knock me over with a feather, that second call was NOT EASY.
That's one serious doobie at 36:05. Someone should sell Gilberto about six more light bulbs and fixtures to put in his "factory", and he'll need to get the employee parking lot re-striped soon. The lunchroom could use some help too. The stones come out of the jungle and are sold to people for use in medical rituals that the jungle people gave up years ago because they don't work, but now they have enough money to get real medical help. It's a beautiful thing.
Look what our God made just for us to find and be amazed. Praise you Jesus who created all things!!!
18:27 Well then the collector should have offered a better price for the crystal so that the mine owner chose to sell it to him rather than take a risk of breaking it open for industry. So frustrating. I'm sure the collector wanted a "good price" but obviously didn't want to pair a "fair price".
We are happy to have a new clear cathedral of 18.8kg. It was mined from Sapo mine, Brazil. Ask for photos
Flickr or Reddit or something? Post a link afterwards
Joshua Kuehn email ?
Wow so pretty 😻
I thought I was watching the superbowl with so many adds
Now that's just ridiculous how they have to open their hands up slowly in front of the cameras all the time!
"The women are obliged..." (or they will starve). Lovely! Paid a pittance I'm sure.
@Jerry C I was agreeing with you before I even read your comment!
genius using whale grease to take dust🤔😁👍
Come to India, odisha, bolangir,, we have topaz, quartz, granite, gomed, beruch and dimond also
wow I like it. I need your assist. I want to talk with you.
would like to see pictures of where they are mining these gems ,whaat is it doing to the country and enviroment? When the people from Brazil going mining do they get a good wage? I love gems as much as everyone else but these are my thoughts.
He's really ruining those beautiful crystals, turning them into ugly art
Literally no respect for those beautiful stones. It hurt me seeing what he did to them.
No wtf
i thought the same! crystals are so beautiful because they are earths natural art and energy
He's turning ugly crystals into beautiful art.
how much are they worth in their raw form?
@34:38 Now THAT'S a big blunt xD
Wish I could go to Brazil and hunt crystals that would be a great life😃
stripping the earth of vegetation before gutting it?
@@marklewis4793 the only difference between us is I live in a world of natural art while you undoubtedly live in a synthetic one...
@@marklewis4793 I live a few kilometers from the place were they get those stones from, and i can assure that there is no vegetation in there, but rocks and little vegetation all around.
Yeah, those folks looked like they were having a great time....
@@bobaloo2012 i know!
