8:30 am
the musicians under the swastika, a documentary about this sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home and you go get the tennis. i was the only one who lives in nazi germany. watch now on youtube dw documentary, the glittering diamonds sparkling gems and precious pounds essential for any crown. and a true gift from nature. so i'm going to most so give that a bit of a wash with water to a beauty. extracting these treasures of some means exportation and environmental damage. but there is another way to make jewelry. the
8:31 am
if we look after nature, it looks after us. and nature can also instruct us in its treasures in life, you know how it's done. you get a diamond at the end to the levels. so how does ethical and environmentally friendly to the re manufacturing? well the, the water is ice cold. but to the nature conservationists, that's all in a day's work. yeah. here's one and another one. here they are. they seem to like it here. they line this old in the bed is the small stream. fresh water po, muscles, a delicate muslim of nature. mm.
8:32 am
with the conservation is our eastern germany working to protect the muscles from extinction. their impulse until the ecosystem. not because of the home phone, which was a 155 in the rush water pro muscles have existed on this planet for 230000000 years and and so they've seen a lot and it does not exist. it's one of the oldest b, c, as in the world today, although i'm updating the freshwater pro muscles. have seen the dinosaurs come and go easy, but now it's us. humans who might be the ones to drive them into extinction. yes, you know, this is an aqua scope helps the researches have a clear view. under bosa, rebecca huss uses a detective to locate the muscles that have been tagged with the tiny micro chip that helps the scientists keep tabs on the muscle population which they monitor. so once a week, so kind of listen,
8:33 am
this allows us to tell what kind of muscle it is without having to remove it from the stream. that is, which would stress the muscle. but to make sure it's still alive, we do have to take them out once a year when the number to micro chips are attached to the show with dental cement. and there it is all the days correct. and it's still where we left it all to get some super perfect pause tells me john a few 1000 years ago. the streams here were full of muscles on site. there are still people alive who remember that after the war and the muscle beds here where 3 layers need. when they looked at the bed of the stream, it looked totally black. that's how many muscles there, worries. the poles that can be found in this pulse of eastern germany, but 1st documented in the 15 century. the huge muscle population attracted poll specials in law, just numbers,
8:34 am
but only one shell and every 2000 muscles have the treasure nestled in sight. it's a news report from the 19 sixty's as a testament to that history. the eye of the law keeps watch if he's to the fishing trip takes place under the supervision of the mayor. this pearl is set to be as valuable as the treasures artificially from the south pacific and the waters around australia. when the gibson was tied in the pulse with suicide stood by kings and queens as a symbol of power and wealth. the today, the muscles themselves, all the treasure, a single muscle concealed to move in 100 leases of water a day, helping to keep the stream clean and healthy, but now dry, summer's, and intensive farming, or destroying the habitats these days. the streams are all from villages by phone
8:35 am
and roberts and meadows. soil makes its way into the water and ends off as much. but the muscles community strongly the new sped of gravel. that's just not. it's a huge problem for young muscles. of course. there's the modem, star of their habitat of oxygen. mia and the young muscles end up covered in mode and suffocate. speaking the young muscles dying, leaving only a few adults so few that hunting for poles would drive them to extinction. cabinets for guy who i mean, what you see here is kind of like a hospice. i just the population in the stream is aging. you can imagine them as all middle age to 50 and up without any young muscles at all company. that's our biggest concern right now and why we're breeding personal muscles so that we can replenish the screen with the young ones. it's the only way the conservationists can rescue the endangered species. the next batch of young muscles is ready to be moved into the street. the on the other
8:36 am
side of the world, the south pacific is heading to poll voice. this species isn't endangered. so cultivating petals, he is viable, and it can also be sustainable. that is a huge choice to form the nice for surface of the bosa with thousands of voice to nets on ropes that extend for kilometer. marine biologist. justin hunter is an expert on these delicate ocean dwellers. he's been following the species pink tied up my coffee to fit off for 20 years. how quick culture requires patience and a delicate touch. that's because every culture code begins with a grafting procedure that mimics what would normally be a natural process. we don't want to over stress them this. this operation, of course, has quite a bit of stress, but we try to handle this gently as we can. they are living animals. that's why you
8:37 am
know, they're kept with their quickly washed clean. they'll go through this process very fast and then be back into a recovery tank and then take it back out to the see the, the pseudo during dano is the most important member of the team. he carries out the grafting procedure on your study, which induces health formation by imitating a natural process. first px truck. it's a tiny piece of mental tissue from it don't, don't waste. that tissue has been implanted into the recipient. royster, along with a tiny mother of co nucleus, is a natural defense mechanism to use the will form which is called a pills, sec, around a foreign body. over time the nucleus is covered with what is called nature layer by layer creating a po, the hunters client,
8:38 am
you can know travels from germany to fiji every 3 or 4 years to buy a home, the outcome of the future. thank you and tell me i will show you some of the fluids just started um, implanting your harvest thing. if you input this, the trial here with my to the have, it's the oldest of, here's the oyster that's already been implanted with a nucleus and the mantle tissue give you the tissue will grow around the nucleus and over 2 years covered with 2000 delicate layers. of ne, correct, other pearl sheets with any luck, the end result is a perfect port off of the 6. it's yeah, it's, it's, it's not a short process at all. no 2 po cultivates is r as patient as justin hunter, many ways to form is an age of fact in the show fish with what kind of waste from chicken and take forming the over fed. oysters produce up to 60 poles off to the
8:39 am
harvest. they die, and this form is mass production is harmful to the environment. the in c g, the always does all returned into the sea for at least 18 months of today. you'll see that many stay longer to allow time for the pose to grow. a single one always stuck, not $65.00. so now we're going to see the farm where the pro is coming from in paradise. our work, the team and what they're working on. now our voice, there's that won't be on to the other always. those will be returned to the volta unless the full harvesting in 2 years time. and then the pulse will be ready for you again as the newest jewelry collection, the
8:40 am
. so let's see what the mountain has in store for us flow while you remember how to get there. just like the oceans. mountains also home to many natural treasures concealed in the rocks. twin brothers gal hops and hunters full fox have spent every free minutes in these mountains since they were 12 looking for crystals and precious gems. today that professional crystal hunters, the essential and they need light, and it's our past sion but it's also a kind of addiction which is useful. they look and wonder where you might find something like bains of white course crevasses or faults in the rock. we discovered a very interesting spot, a few weeks ago, and it looks really promising kudos. the whole fuzz collects up to $200.00 kilos of crystal every year. about 50 of those are made into jewelry. there are many
8:41 am
precious stones to be found in the elves, including emerald emma sistant gunners. mining in the national park is highly regulated. only have is in cro balls. i'll permits it. drills and explosives are banned. the sites must be re natured off the mining and lodge of fines must be reports. it is not phoning the means and what we do is very careful and respectful and we're not changing anything now. right? we're not using any chemicals. and when we remove the crystals, we make sure we don't disturb anything. so are there. so here we are. it's some of the, all the top these are going to work our way into that credit list. hooked them. it's not going to clear the spot and see what's down there. we filed it up with stones. how many of a piece of books i've just mentioned or the book can be dangerous. so one of them
8:42 am
will have to venture down into the narrow crevice and inspect the rock. they discovered traces of quotes here a few days ago, which is a promising sign. but they still don't know whether there are any valuable crystals to be found to the moment, not going in. i'll send the canister down to you. a song pull up the roof will reveal more about the treasures that might be hidden here. the was the tool was the efforts, the one, the guns done fine. there's very, very fine rock crystal here. it's not that big yet, but it's a good indicator for larger crystals get is the cause of the causally to solid. hm
8:43 am
. uh huh. oh so it looks good. i would guess they're a bigger one to further down, but let's leave it over to a loss and thank good say it's a promising starts. they'll stay here for a few days to recover some more of the precious crystals. the rock crystal nexus is our best selling all my stuff. so we clean this one up a bit. and as you can see, its super high quality in going to the glittering and brilliant wind crystals basically spell isn't split. it's 15000000 years old, dominion in your body. we're the 1st to you and steve ever. i've seen it. no one's ever touched it before. applying the head cook, this beautiful crystal has been full ming underground for an a ton of tea, like the time and such an crown jewels. and now gets its moment to shine.
8:44 am
in this is the bar a tree in switzerland. the process of forming diamonds is unlocked, foster slip sides creates treasures that take many hundreds of millions of years to full, not training, a dozen others. olga, these are all organic products, so you've loved letters. don't care. horse hair that's from the body, work up a formula e car host of couples, and it can all be processed into gratified when to displace these 2 coffee for all binding graph all uses the base materials for the world's most precious stones. it can be made from any single garlic, even dried rose petals. the precise method is a trade secret. only a few have most of the many complex steps involved in the process is just like about the same thing that happens inside the years total. you need pressure and temperature in the right environment at a moment. once you know how it's done, the end result is a diamond to deal on. both sides has been making some subject diamonds for industry,
8:45 am
for decades. today, the quality of his diamonds is high enough to make jewelry, diamonds full natur need under extreme heat and pressure in the interior. in the lab, this huge h b h t press which operates the pressure of about 60000 ball. and 1800 degrees celsius achieves the same effect in just a few weeks. most of the electricity he needs comes from solar power. the full jewelry, design the hegemonic and helped him on the sympathetic gems are a perfect match for her companies. philosophy of sustainability, the hello harold's, please hello, welcome. ready to see the diamond. that's happy to be here tomorrow. something was okay. let's take the rough stone out of the cell. yeah, i'm, i'll, we'll open it and see what we get. some of this whole is called the
8:46 am
goldsmith has the stone for a diamond ring. no one does not look at it, cut and polished and add to it. right. as a 1000000000 cut. yeah, yes, exactly, great towards this is a few decides that miss miss will probably not for me, this is definitely a great alternative to natural diamond emission with it because mining diamonds doesn't just remove the jammed this vicar shop with all the overburden as well. and then there's the shipping distances, the talk, the carbon footprint includes all the steps and the process like water consumption, etc. also the environmental impact of synthetic lab, thrown diamonds, is still smaller box model. good thing, i'm just, i'm a still the, that's a real time and i've grown in the lab one placement and the other is a naturally occurring diamond visually, physically and chemically. you can tell them apart, the image is total side the authenticity is certified by independent gemstone,
8:47 am
the power trees. 3 weeks off to being cousin published the diamond just finally annoyed. goldsmith higginbotham helped him on the steps to finish diamond to create an ethical and sustainable piece of jewelry. synthetic diamond costs 30 to 40 percent less than the natural one. the mom does growing, particularly among younger customers. have medical science who's gone recycled? 18 carrots, yellow gold, m a synthetic lab, growing diamond. it completely eliminates child labor as well as mining, so there's no harm done to the environment. and the end result is a totally sustainable product, is put gemstones made by human hands rather than nature, its own kind of miracles. the habitats of the fresh was upheld muscle is under threats to few muscle lobbies,
8:48 am
the vines in, across the border projects, most guaranteed and minus breeding, to protect animals and food that he needs round trout. without these fish, they would be no muscle. when a brown trout swims by in the law of the cling to the gills with the fish, the lobby, grow, the protect it over the winter. ones, the large enough, the young muscles drove past the host skills and on the gravel that they'll spend about 6 years for each here until this for the group. once the sexually mature, the cycle begins again, the default for these, these traffic off the trunk isn't really keen on being the host. you can almost imagine them complaining about it. i gets annoying for these fish because the muscle takes oxygen and for so it's a parasite, nato son. part of the symbiosis works even though it's just once in a lifetime, because the following year the trial will have developed
8:49 am
a resistance to the muscle which is for assistance at the breeding station. daniel is kind of thing and we saw that blah check on the law of the nestled into trout skills. yeah. what we're doing now is opening the gill covering a little um, once it's exposed and we can see muscle larvae clamped to the gills. then we can monitor what developmental state directory and beginning with the larvae to a juvenile muscle. and so, you know, as soon as the young muscles drove out of the gills, don, you and how living costs is the roots of, from the fish tank through. sift several times to retrieve them. you just look like dirty water, but the treasure lies hidden in it. the shops, there are hundreds of juvenile muscles in the said, the only emotion. yes, we're just going to give them
8:50 am
a rinsing. that's got to examine them under the microscope and i'm thinking now let me just pull the futures. how's it looking, daniel? yeah, it looks really good. around 380. today's harvest a good by 106. super active vigorous. this could be a good year in the natural environments, the mussels would now be burrowing into the gravel in the labs of protect it for a while longer and the special punch costs and then it's time to leave the lapse. the punch cards mean the conservationist can check on the young muscles at any time and move them if need be. part of the project entails figuring out what is the optimal environments for the animals to thrive, the action of the location,
8:51 am
because blah checks on the batch of muscles. they put out 1st, the bus looks good, the is india there, 5 years old. now they're in their 6th year and beginning of this year they could be transferred to the open water. is really the winter survival rate this year was 100 percent. yeah. so, but the, the foster parents have done a good job the business, even though it's a huge success ation. of course, it's extremely satisfying to accompany them over 5 winters and to have it prove that the system works from the excel to the juvenile myself. and yet this is the, the work we've put in is buried fruit to some of the now we'll be getting the 1st batch back into the stream, which is great to week to begin. so, but the most important goal is ensuring the survival of the species. even if that
8:52 am
will never again be millions of fresh rolls and muscles producing pounds for jewelry in the austrian alps, gal hops and how the sofa assessing outside of the the crystal home just have a steep climb. the full bill reached the crevice where they hope to find a rich seam of rock crystal boots. okay. sometimes you go for days even weeks where all you take home are a few little slivers that's when you tell yourself good. so i found a little sliver today that's good to you don't always go home with the full backpack. let me phone will 6 in the housing real. they find logic crystal's been yesterday. get high school fast squeezes himself down into the narrow cavity again, [000:00:00;00] the
8:53 am
11 year old son slowly and joins his father and the premise shovel that looks good morning. i've got a small one to send up a really nice one. do you have it or is outside got it? well, that's good. so let's have a look. oh wow. you get to see the light of day. what's obviously it looks good. oh yeah, yes. it's a beauty the true value won't be revealed until the crystal has been cleaned. the clearer says, the height of the price every hole they make and the rock has to be close back up and secured. usually with largest stones, renae during the site is as much a pulse of the work as extracting the crystal god. is there anything else coming out? are we done for today? no. yes. okay,
8:54 am
hang on. we'll turn it over and then we'll lift it out. okay. did it's a really beautiful collection. it looks perfect. look. okay, so that one's basic thoughts show. a dell seemed easier to him very hard, and this could be a once in a decade to find out his food and found the mineral collector's comp. selda wrote crystals to june the re, manufacturers or to trade says until the fines been properly documented the to put on get the 40 by 30 and yes. weighs a bit more than 20 q us to be so may have, it's fine. should be about, right. it's most annoying so long, so debbie advice and then that will probably bring in a 1000 bureau. so if it was maybe even a bit more or less to go at least a 1000 bureaus, the brothers sell the precious rock crystals in the store. down in the valley, the state gets 10 percent of any sales. the national park strict mining regulations maintenance thursday as can purchase

foaming has the ocean to thank for its treasures. the delicate creatures need an intact marine environment to thrive bumps. they also play a role and maintaining it. each individual always to can filter more than a 100 liters of water every day. much like to sewage treatment plant. what the hell always does thrive. the ecosystem is in balance, and biodiversity reach the benefits. this is a natural habitat for life, especially the younger stages of fish. you know, crabs, you get c 2 companies in here. it's called think of the system service says, which is the technical term for what always does do. and when they're non loan selective features, which means they're taking a water, they're removing any kind of analogy, which is there for dominant free. so they're physically and chemically cleaning this to this day. every day. justin hum to harvest around $25000.00 pounds
