Gems

According to aborigines the creator of Dreamtime visited earth on a rainbow, turning the rock that he stood on into an opal…the ancient greeks thought that amethyst came from the tears of the god of wine Dionysus after he tried to kill a young maiden in a fit of rage…there are some talmudic texts even, that say king Solomon had a precious emerald that gave him the power to protect himself from negativity…gemstones have started wars, inspired myths, and cost lots of men lots of after tax dollars. So today we take a look at how these amazing gems form and the measures that people will go to steal and protect these precious items

About the Podcast

Dude! Nature
The longest running (and most popular) science podcast for those of us who got kicked out of class for throwing pencils at the ceiling. Adam and Noah are skeptical twin brothers whose separate journeys through professional science and engineering led them to a ridiculous notion: that reality is strange and barely understood. Unfortunately they just didn't have the attention span to listen to any science podcasts without wanting to gouge their eyes out with a spoon.

If you've ever wanted to listen to more podcasts about cosmic quandaries, evolutionary mysteries, and giant creatures living underneath the ice of rogue planets but just can't stand academic rambling delivered with a nasally voice, then this podcast is for you.
