a multi tasking, diesel modern man. because if we do too much, we pity all wrong. we mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking. watching our new to v w documentary, the glittering diamonds sparkling gems and precious pounds essential for any crown and the 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, nothing means exportation and environmental damage. but there is another way to make jewelry. the if we look after nature,

it looks after us. and nature can also instruct us in its treasures. certainly well if you know how it's done, you get a diamond at the end. so how does ethical and environmentally friendly jewelry manufacturing? well, the, the router is ice cold books. well, the nature conservationists. that's all in a day's work. i yeah. yeah. so here's one and another one. here they are. they seem to like appear before they line this old and the bed is the small stream . fresh water po, muscles, a delicate muslim of nature. mm.

with the conservation is our eastern germany working to protect the muscles from extinction. they're in post and for the eco system, but not because of the home phone, which is a 15500 water pro muscles have existed on this planet for 230000000 years. so they've seen a lot and it does not exist. it's one of the oldest b, c. as in the world today. i'm updating the freshwater pro muscles. i've seen the dinosaurs come and go easy, but now it's us humans who might be the ones to drive them into extinction. you know the muscle beds here worth 3 layers need. when they looked at the bed of the stream, it looked totally black. that's how many muscles there were using the poles that can be found in this pulse of eastern germany with 1st documented in the 15 century . the huge muscle population attracted health bushes in large numbers,

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. how do the i have the law keeps watch. the fishing trip takes place under the supervision of the mayor. this pearl is set to be as valuable as the treasures are fixed on the south pacific and the waters around australia. when did give it to them almost hiding fees? the poles with suicide stood by kings and queens as a symbol of power and well, the 2 days, the muscles themselves, all the treasure. a single muscle can filter more than 100 leases of water a day. helping to keep the stream clean and healthy, but now dry. somers and intensive farming. i'll just start during the habitat these

days. the streams are awesome voters by phone and robins and meadows. soil makes its way into the boats and ends off as much. but the muscles community strongly lou sped of gravel. that's not, it's a huge problem for young muscles. of course. there's the most starved their habitat of oxygen. mia and the young muscles end up covered in mud 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 for i just the population in the stream is aging. you can imagine them as all middle aged, 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 stream with 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 side of the world, the south pacific is heading to power or east of this species isn't endangered. so cultivating paolo's, he is viable, and it can also be sustainable. there's a huge waste of form. the nice was toughest of the voice of, with thousands of voice to net some routes that extend for common sense. marine biologist. justin hunter is an expert on these delicate ocean dwellers. he's been following the species ping tied of my coffee to fit off for 20 years. how culture requires patience and a delicate touch. that's because every culture code begins with a gr opting procedure that mimics what would normally be a natural process. we don't want to over stress them this. this operation, of course, is quite a bit of stress. but we try to handle this gently as we can, but are living animals. that's why, you know,

they're tucked with their quickly washed clean. they'll go through this process very fast and then be back into a recovery tank. and then taking back out to the see the, the pseudo don't down to is the most important member of the team. he carries out the crossing procedure on the always stuff which induces hell formation by imitating a natural process. first, he extracts a tiny piece of mental tissue from it, don't waste that tissue has been implanted into the recipient royster, along with a tiny mother of co nucleus. it's a natural defense mechanism. the waste of will form, which is called a pills, sec, around a foreign body. over time, the nucleus is covered with what is called an acre layer by layer creating a power. the punches client, you can know,

travels from germany to fiji every 3 or 4 years to buy a home, the outcome of the sea thing to come to show you some of the fluids just started um, implanting your harvesting. if you input this, the trial here with the i'm up to the have it's the august of, here's the oyster that's already been implanted with a nucleus. and the mantle tissue gives the tissue will grow around the nucleus. and over 2 years covered with 2000 delicate layers of ne, correct mother of pearl sheets. with any luck, the end result is a perfect per off of the. so yeah, it's, it's, it's not a short process at all. but no 2 po, cultivates is, are as patient as justin hunter. many ways to farm is in asia, from the shelf. fish with who can take waste from chicken and pick farming. the over fed. oysters produce up to 60 pounds off to the harvest. they die. and this

form of mass production is harmful to the environment. the in fiji, the always does all returned into the sea for at least 18 months off today you'll see that many stay longer to allow time for the pose to grow. a single one always sta. nope, 60 so now we're going to see the farm where the pearl is coming from in paradise. are worth a theme and what they're working on. now our voice, there's that won't be on to the other oysters will be returned to the volta, unless the full have a sing in 2 years time. and then the pose will be ready for your game as the newest jewelry collection the

. so let's see what the mountain has in store for us flow when we remember how to get there, just like the oceans, mountains also home to many natural treasures concealed in the rocks. twin brothers gal. how to him, how this whole farm have spent every free minutes in these mountains since they were 12 looking for crystals and precious gems. today that professional crystal hunters, the, the central 9 is 8 and it's our past and, but it's also what kinds of addiction will they look and wonder where you might find something like bains of white chords, crevasses, or faults in the rock. we discovered a very interesting spot, a few weeks ago, and it looks really promising who goes the whole fast collect up to $200.00 kilos of crystal every year. about 50 of those are made into jewelry. there are many

precious stones to be found in the elves, including emerald. i'm a cistern gunners. mining in the national park is highly regulated. only ham is in crow balls, permits it drills and explosives or band. the site must be re natured off the mining and lodge of fines must be reports. it is not showing in the clean and what we do is very careful and respectful. we're not changing anything. 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 top. and those are going to work our way into that credit list. hooked them. yes, we're going to clear this spot and see what's down there. we filed it up with stones . how many of our basic folks up estimates for the book can be dangerous? so one of them 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 here. the most not going in, i'll send the canister down to you for a song pull up, the roof will reveal more about the treasures that might be hidden here. the also to west the efforts, the one that comes on fine back. 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 through causally to start

with. uh huh. oh i was gonna do. it looks good. i would guess they're a bigger one to further down, but let's leave it over to a low since ain't good. say it's a promising starts. they'll stay here for a few days to recover some more of the precious crystals. they're rock crystal nexus is our best seller, the don't my wife's truck. so we clean this one up a bit. and as you can see, its super high quality in front of the glittering with brilliant wind crystals basically spell isn't split. it's 15000000 years old, dominion in your in both. we're the 1st to you is ever in cnn. no one's ever touched it before. applying the hancock this beautiful crystal, it has been full being under ground for an a ton of tea. like the time and such an crown jewels and now gets its moment to shine

in the bar a tree in switzerland. the process of forming diamonds is unlocked. foster scripts by its creates treasures that take many hundreds of millions of years to full natural name. doesn't the little go, these are all organic products that you've loved letters. don't care. horse hair, that's from the body, work up a formula e car always to couples. and it can all be processed into gratified when to displace this to coffee, to all binding graph bodies. is the base material for the world's most precious stones? it can be made from any single panic, 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. this is the cycle, but it's the same thing that happens inside the years total. you need pressure and temperature in the right environment. it's open once you know how it's done, the end result is a diamond. to deal on. both sides has been making synthetic diamonds for industry,

for decades. today, the quality of his diamonds is high enough to make jewelry, diamonds full natur needs 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 for jewelry design, the hegemonic, them helped me on this and such. a gems are a perfect match for her companies, philosophy of sustainability, the, the hello harold's, please hello, welcome to ready to see the diamond. that's happy to be here tomorrow or something worse. okay, let's take the rough stone out of the cell. yeah. we'll, we'll open it and see what we get. some of those holes come to the

goldsmith has the stone for a diamond ring that did not look at it. cutting, polished, and antwerp right. as a brilliant cut. yeah, yes, exactly. great towards this is of you, the types of mrs who paused or 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, so the top of the carbon footprint includes all the steps in 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 stuffy, that's a real diamond. i've grown in the lab one, please, 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 an independent gemstone.

the power trees 3 weeks off to being causing, published the diamond just finally annoyed. goldsmith hegemonic them helped man, set 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. how many cycles? who's got recycled? 18 carrots, yellow gold, emma synthetic lab, grown diamonds. 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. gemstones made by human hands rob of the nature of its own kind of miracles. the habitats of the fresh was upheld muscle is under threats to few muscle lobbies,

the vines in, across the border projects, most guaranteed and mountainous breeding. to protect animals and full that he needs round trout. without these fish, there would be no muscle when a brown trout swims by in the law of the cling to the gills of 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 very here until the, for the group. once the sexually mature, the cycle begins again, the default for these the traffic off the trunk isn't really keen on being the host. my mind can almost imagine them complaining about. it gets annoying for these fish because the muscle takes oxygen and a thoughtful. it's a parasite dog on some part of it. how about the symbiosis works, even though it's just once in a lifetime, it's because the following year the trial will have developed

a resistance to the muscle, is assistance at the breeding station dom you losing a nice color, 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 clamps to the gills. then we can monitor what developmental state directory and beginning with the larvae to a juvenile muscle in. so, you know, as soon as the young muscles drove out of the gills, don, you and how living causes the roots are from the fish tank through. sift several times to retrieve them. you just look like dirty water, but the treasure lies hidden in at the shops. there are hundreds of juvenile muscles in the city. yes, we're just going to give them

a rinsing. that's got to examine them under the microscope and i'm thinking now let me just pull the visuals. how's it looking, daniel? yeah, it looks really good around 300 really, today's harvest a cigarette, but i ended 6 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 protected 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 environment for the animals to thrive, the action now the location,

because blah checks on the batch of muscles they put out 1st. the 1st set looks good is indeed there 5 years old. now they're in their 6th year and beginning of this year they could be transferred to the open water 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 proved that the system works from the excel to the juvenile muscle. and yet this is the, the work we've put in is buried fruits of thought. and now we'll be getting the 1st batch back into the stream, which is great to week to begin to. but the most important goal is ensuring the

survival of the species. even if that will never again be millions of fresh rules and muscles producing pounds for jewelry in the austrian alps, gal hops and honda sofa, all 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 and that's good to you don't always go home with the full backpack. let me phone will 6 in the hosting. will they find logic crystals then yesterday get high school fast squeezes himself down into the narrow cavity again the, his 11 year old son slowly and joins his father and the premise,

the 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 looks good. so let's have a look. oh wow. you get to see the light of day we'll talk at least 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 honey at the price. every hole they make in 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 crystals. god, is there anything else coming out? are we done for today? no. yes. okay, 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 like that showed up on specifics those show a dancing. do you see its on various hard and this could be a once in a decade to find out his food. i found the mineral collectors comp sell the root crystals to jewelry manufacturers or to trade says until the fines been properly documented the photos. it's about 40 by 30 and yes. weighs a bit more than 20 q us to be somebody of it's one should be about right. it's most annoying so long. so debbie advice, i mean, that'll probably bring it in a 1000 euro. so there may be even a bit more or less to go up, be sent 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

a beautiful crystal here without penetrating the mountain. the fashion saffo salvo the faust under was a farm, extends across the bay jewelry manufacturing. yeah, good night is taking a look at justin homes as po cultivation program. it's harvest time, the toys to so cleans of parasites before being brought to show, even in ancient times, poles like these were famous and particularly pride. it says that c o patches earrings were made using poles from this muscle species to make it for me, it's important to see that they're produced in an environmentally friendly way. harmony with nature. as far as i'm concerned, this is the only sustainable tool there is and some of these for us as deep how farming has the ocean to thank for its treasures. the delicate creatures need an

intact marine environment to thrive. pups, they also play a role and maintaining it. each individual oyster can filter more than a 100 meters 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 habitats life, especially the younger stages of fish. you know, the crabs you get seem to companies in here. it's called think of the system service says, which is the technical term for what royce does do. and when they're, they're non long selective features. which means they're taking water, they're losing any kind of analogy, which is there for dominant street. they're physically and chemically cleaning this, this very, every day. justin hum to harvest around $25000.00 pounds every year. it's

a business of given take and the marine ecosystem of solve solve nature and humans exist in harmony. if we look after nature, it looks after us and it's also a very important part of the story of pearls and what we bring to luxury. because there's simply no other product out there that gives back more to the environment. i love what i do. i love what i wrote present. i love the fact that i'm in the environment that i loved been treasure and in that fashion and follow your heart. the treasures of sahu several, they all recovered. it's taken 2 years for upheld to grow. inside this oyster without homing, the delicate creature, the valuable jewel, is removed. the, the pills are worth between $50.00 and $400.00. the bigger they all,

the higher the price. that's a nice size justin for 10 millimeter, which is quite rare. but the love these colors here talk just gives the height was worth traveling halfway around the world because it's a privilege to buy these pearl and puts you on there's no one has had to suffer to produce these pearls and they're completely natural and very beautiful. yeah, so then on the window should a s a co and sustainable jewelry. another gift from nature, given when it's treated with patients and the

movies and things are going and getting comfortable. listen, not fierce comedy from pakistani women pretty to shake up the image of their generation. some topics are still tab, but these comedians are pushing the boundaries of free speech. humor, again, sexism, concerns, women, rise up logo in fuzzy minutes. on d w, the we've got some tips for your package. the magic corner boats affinities, check on some great cultural memorials to b, w, travel. we got the,

do you think it was coming to live from berlin? because a health ministry says thousands have been killed and then his riley air strike in central gaza. the attack hit homes and a refugee camp and comes as israel expands its ground defensive, saying it is intensifying fighting against ha. also coming up on the show problem, one critic, i'll explain. the volley is finally located. more than 2 weeks after associates lost track of them of all of these folks 1st and says he's currently in a penal colony in northern russia. and for the 1st time you pray.
