It was fun to check out 7 amazing places, each with their own special gemstone! Did you have a favorite? Let us know!

I know Sweden is most famous for our iron, but we have other things even more interesting in my mind that is totally unique and dont exist anywhere else. Like Dellenite, from a meteor impact in the landscape of Hälsingland, and Älvdalsporphyr from Dalarna. Thank you for checking in to us up in the north, that was fun! :)

I tested my iceland spar, and it really can find the sun when it's cloudy, pretty awesome

Totally in love with Nuummite 😍🙌It’s one of my favorite stones! It’s so hard to source genuine greenland material as most pieces in the market are mislabelled

[jesperchristiansen]

I live in Denmark and I never heard about Glendolite. Very fascinating. Great to learn something new🙂 Here, everyone is going on about Amber. Never actually found a piece myself though.

3:00 I can add that we used to have buildings from these slag stones. I remember we had an "old" ruin left where kids went to pick up pretty stones back in 1986.

Amber can be found in southern Sweden as well. An area in Northern Sweden is famous for garnets.
