How I Became A Pro Gem Collector | Rare Fluorite, Azurite, and More!

I’ve bought fluorites from Jordan before, and his minerals are truly spectacular. However, the best thing about Jordan aren’t his minerals, but rather his uplifting attitude and wholesome approach to life. Consider yourself lucky if you get to know him.

Soo cool! I'm a brazilian mineral collector amazed by specimens and gems... And I'm only 16 years old, collecting since 11! I have a lot of cool things from Brazil, it's fantastic what this huge mineralogical province has to offer! I've been following your channel for a while, your work is FANTASTIC! Maybe one day I'll be your guest haha

Pseudomorphs are just fascinating! All these specimens are absolutely gorgeous in the first place, but for Jordan to show all the unique things about them, and explain why they are special makes it even better! Im glad to see him back on the channel!

I started collecting when I was just 12 years old. ( I'm now 60!) I had a visit to the 'Florence mine' ( now closed) in Cumbria, UK where they mined large quantities of red boytroidal Hematite. While there I visited the samples shed. OMG it was like going into an Alladins cave of massive red boytriodal hematite (the size of wheel barrows!), perfectly formed large clusters of crystalline Dolomite and Quartz and beautiful black Specularite. As a young kid it was mind blowing, I'd never seen anything like it before. Luckily for me I was given some specimens to take away, which I still have to this day, including a beautiful piece of boytroidal hematite, with a dusting of black crystalline Specularite on its surface, just like black icing sugar. This experience set me on a path to a life long journey of mineral collecting from all over the world. It also set me on a path to train as a Geologist, although sadly my working career went in another direction.

I enjoyed seeing Jordan back on the show! His passion and knowledge is contagious. Great episode!

please more of Jordan! I could listen to them talk all day!! I absolutely adore them

Jordan is appreciated! So knowledgeable and interesting! Would love to see his work again. He is a gem! The interviewer was great too, really natural and passionate!

This guy stole my heart. ❤ His passion and love for minerals is contagious. 😊

This may be my favorite video on this channel. His passion for what he does and the education, along with the exquisite pieces are astonishing!

Nice to see Jordan on the channel!

I'm more of a coin collector but I recently got into mineral collecting. So far I'm loving it.

That green on the pseudomorph Malachite is absolutely lux. It looks like velvet covering a rock. And the azurite little needles, I couldn't imagine having something like that I could look at each day. Just beautiful, the man has taste.

Wow Jordan’s story is amazing Woww his crystals are absolutely beautiful!! I can understand perfectly why he loves his crystals so much, I have a strong connection with crystals too. Thank you so much for introducing him on this channel please invite him again soon !!! Will love to meet him one day and give him a hug that guy is so special! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

I hope Jordan comes back with more. Thanks Jordan!

Oh wow I’m pretty sure I’ve met this guy at the rock and mineral shows around Georgia!

I’m sharing this video right away with my great-niece who recently shared that she loves rocks, as do I. Jordan, I’m so touched by your stories and grateful to hear that appreciating this wild rock beauty for it’s own sake is healing—because, yeah, indeed!

I absolutely love learning from this channel and their guests. I want to say that Jordan is particularly stylish. It’s extremely fun to hear his descriptions and his excitement about these specimens. This was fun, and one of my favorites.

Fluorite and azurite are two of my favorite minerals. The blue of azurite, so extraordinary, so pure, brings my heart joy. Thank you, Jordan.

Wow, Jordan’s story is both inspirational & informative. Thank you Jordan for sharing some of your amazing specimens. Oh, I couldn’t choose a favourite. 😀 from Wales U.K. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
