    Your videos truly are hidden gems! Such wonderful content; briefing us on the state of each gem’s industry, yet always touching on the local culture who's lives are centered around the subject gem of each episode.
    Cheers from Texas

    Wow! Simply breathtaking. The daily dangers that these poor miners face are heartbreaking. As a scientist, Amber has always intrigued me. Thank you for a beautiful documentary. Makes me want to visit the DR.

      Amber is a beautiful stone, though i come from a place where we don't mine it but need to use our eyes to the best to spot em.
      winterstorm over Denmark and the baltic sea and for me an 2 hour ferry and it's just walking down the beaches and there will always be something there.
      usually in the 5-10gr size but have found one piece at 108gr (unpolished)
      today though with the extensive dredging of sand from the ocean bottom between Denmark, Germany and Poland there comes insane quantities of amber from this as amber is a very bad material for construction so they do everything to sort it out of the sand.
      but then, noting like finding the golden orange "shiny" yourself and getting a nice trip down the beach at the same time though can be cold...

    Nicely put together video. Respect to the hard work and family loyalty of miners.
    They are rather good looking people and the countryside fascinating.
    The insect filled amber is impressive and I prefer it to Baltic amber so often lacking insects.

      the red comes from oxidation on the surface of the amber, if you look closely on the bottom of the stone, its not flat. if the jeweler sanded the piece flat, it would most likely loose the red.

    So basically this is one big advert to encourage us all to go exploit our environment and people . Amber like many things in nature is beautiful but I am not interested in exploiting others for it . If it is washed up by the seas and collected that hopefully puts no one in danger or our environment , a much gentler way to live WITH nature , not against it
