    I'm glad that barnacles made an appearance. 🙂
    Whilst most barnacles are too thin and fragile to be utilised as a gem, I've noticed that "purple four-plated barnacles" are quite suitable for some jewellery work.
    I think they'll look wonderful alongside charoite.
    Barnacles are in my opinion, often overlooked and underappreciated as a gem material.

    I have a correction. The most valuable part of the conch is the conch pearl. They are very rare and I think they have been shown on this channel before.

    That was really interesting, but I have to correct you Rob. You said that all the ammolite in the world, comes from Canada. But you are wrong. There is also ammolite that is found in Montana. As a matter of fact, Theo Kellison just put out a video today, on how to polish and prepare the ammolite. He lives in Billings Montana and often finds fossil baculites, and ammonites with ammolite in their shells! The finds are from the Yellowstone river and they have been finding them for years there. So not all ammolite in the world, comes from Canada.
    And those fossil corals were awesome. I love the agatized ones. They are awesome and they look so cool under the black light! And those cabs of petrified corals are amazing! I'm definitely going to have to check out the store and get me one! Thanks for the info!

    • @gems
      @gems  Před rokem +2

      Yes, we made a mistake! Rob was right that gem quality ammolite is only thought to come from the Bear Paw formation, but on further research, it turns out that formation extends all the way to Montana!

    I was born and grew up on the coast (UK) and love everything beachy! Ammolite and abalone are my favorites! I adore the blue, black and green hues. Gorgeous patterns and I love all the shells 😍🥰 this was a great episode! 💙👍🏻 Would love some fossilized coral, they are gorgeous but in many countries in Europe buying & importing coral is illegal due to it being a protected species so I wouldn't be able to get it into the country.

    Abalone is also popular in Chile. They call it Loco. I thought it was great although I do believe it was cooked.

      My friend found a couple of them outside of Alberta Canada, so that info is not entirely true. But not in quantity so it’s probably not a renowned site like Alberta.

    Smash Fishing channel based in UK Jersey isle forage,s and cooks Abalone when it's the legal season .The locals call them Ormers .They look delicious scrubbed clean and tenderised with a meat tenderiser mallet .He then coats them in flour ,egg wash and bread crumbs in a bread cake served like a burger .
    Mainland UK doesn't have any Abalone .

  • @cesrelawrence-towner9453

    Funny I just watched a video by one of my favorite prospectors (Dan Hurd of BC) and he was visiting a friend in Alberta with Amolite/Amonite rights. All prospecting of it is illegal unless you hold a contract. Also you my find interesting one of Dan's main claims of his own is BC picture stone.
