What You Need To Know About “Gem Hunt” the television show
Essentially, “Gem Hunt” follows a team of modern treasure hunters on their search for the world’s most precious gems.
The show follows gem dealer Ron LeBlanc, jewelry expert Diane Robinson, and geologist Bernie Gaboury, as they maneuver through mines, markets, and tense negotiations in search of the world’s biggest, brightest, and most profitable jewels.
It always seems to have a real-life, Indiana Jones feel to it for me, because of the back-street deals, gun-toting gangs, murder, and corruption.
The “Gem Hunt” show just pulls you in,
You feel as though you are right there in some remote village haggling over the price of a rough cut gem, all the while hoping that it isn’t fake, and that it will survive the cutting and polishing process.
Tons of twists and turns, just an entertaining, informative, and a revealing glimpse into the way it is for those who search the globe for rare gems.
