![]() "Unfortunately, gemstones don’t come out of the ground ready to be set in jewelry.The library of original shows keeps on growing for Acorn TV and on top of everything that's currently available, there's always more on the way! From mystery episodes of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries to the gripping series of Balthazar, you can find a list of all Acorn TV shows on. Since the image is so small, here is what they say about enhancements: So, they took something worth next to nothing, and made it worth a little bit more. They took what amounts to gravel, heated the hell out of it, changed it's chemical structure and cut it. Those "sunset rubies" were BE treated, and they made a huge deal about the "secret formula of heating them to make them worth "many times more" than what they were worth to begin with. He liked to watch it with me and was entertained by me yelling at the tv screen.ĮTA: He was SUPER entertained when I'd be bellowing at the tv screen when all of these middle aged men were in their wet underwear.Ĭlick to expand.All of them. My husband is disappointed that they aren't on anymore. Yeah, the ENTERTAINMENT value is high - especially when you know how bogus most of the stuff they are selling you on screen is. I went back and looked at certain scenes really closely - the point in which he "broke the emerald", the gravel that was left on the saw was opaque and looked cream colored with a small dose of green. I've talked to a few gem dealers about it and they said they watch it for a good laugh. ![]() Those "sunset rubies" were BE treated, and they made a huge deal about the "secret formula of heating" them to make them worth "many times more" than what they were worth to begin with. You see how they are cheated and you wonder how smart these guys really are? Each one of the 4 is an owner and they share 25% each of losses.Ĭlick to expand.All of them. So, I watch until I find something I can't stand. ![]() So far they don't exaggerate the business. One of them has expanded into a warehouse and two opened other stores, which went belly-up pretty fast.īaggage wars is the only one left that I watch. They way over bid, which again I think is because they ae paid for the episodes, and don't care. My latest scratch is storage wars where they were sued for salting the units with good stuff. Some open other stores as I think they are making lots of money from doing the shows, not just the items. As the series goes on they go for the more expensive items like motorcycles, and guns, and I no longer watch them. I have enjoyed other reality shows, such as the Pickters, the pawnshop, storage wars and baggage wars. I think you might take into consideration that our participnts(actors?) are paid for their time as are many on the other reality shows. I think it's fun to live vicariously through these TV shows. I think how thrilling it would be to find some of those things. Seems to be a very realistic looking show. It's entertaining enough to watch, although you have to take some of it with a grain of salt. How are they going to make their money back if they're selling everything so cheap? They dropped a big chunk of change to pick up those small stones. ![]() I did watch the Cambodian Sunset Ruby episode, and they said that they bought a huge bunch of what they said were some of the most valuable stones in the world, and then when I looked on the Gem Guys website out of curiosity, everything that I saw that they were selling on their website was like $50 or $100 apiece. I've only seen two episodes of Game of Stones so far, but I think it's entertaining enough, for what it's worth. ![]() Anyway, since I'll never be a gem hunter, I find it very interesting to see the countries and places that the stones come from and think how thrilling it would be to be on the hunt for them.

I do get tired of the main two people at times – Ron's a bit abrasive and stubborn and the show always seems to be on the verge of ending and he hasn't gotten his holy grail yet, LOL. I do think that the prices that they claim the stones are worth are completely over stated. I actually enjoy Gem Hunt a lot… I enjoyed seeing all the locations that the gems come from, and the occasional mine.
