5 Rocks You Can Break to Find Diamonds and Other Precious Stones
In today's video you're going to see five rocks that you can break to find diamonds and other precious stones like rubies and emeralds inside them. These rocks are known as host rocks and if you know how to identify them, it might be that when you open them you'll find some of these treasures that can be worth anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the stone you find.
For example, what you're seeing right now on your screen is a piece of kimberlite with a diamond stuck in it. Of course, most people would never imagine that this rock had a diamond like this inside it. But when you break this rock the right way, in the right place, what's inside it can change your life. And the most impressive part is that if you know how to identify these rocks you'll see that many of them are within reach of anyone who knows what to look for, and that often they don't even need to be broken to access what's inside, because erosion has already done that.
There are five specific types of rock that, when found in the correct geological environments, can hide diamonds, sapphires, garnets, tourmalines and other gems of high commercial value. The problem is that most people don't know how to recognize these rocks. They walk right past them, think it's just old rock, and miss the chance to find something valuable that was literally under their feet.
That's why, in today's video, you're going to learn exactly what these five rocks are, how to identify them in the field, what type of gem each one can hide, and most importantly, how to break them safely and efficiently to expose what's inside.
