Get ready to sparkle and shine, because we are diving into the wild
and amazing history of precious gems! Have you ever wondered where
diamonds and pearls actually come from? In this glittering episode,
Mira and Finn uncover the incredible secrets behind the world's
most famous jewels! Journey back 8,000 years to find a tiny pink
pearl smaller than a grain of rice, and travel to Ancient India
where warriors thought magical lightning bolts created
indestructible diamonds! You won't believe the true story of the
giant Cullinan Diamond—a gem the size of a loaf of bread that
literally broke a heavy steel knife in half when an expert tried to
cut it! We'll also track down the legendary La Peregrina pearl, a
jewel so heavy it kept falling off queens and even got chewed on by
a famous Hollywood star's puppy! Plus, find out how a 15-year-old
boy discovered a massive diamond just by picking up a shiny pebble
in the dirt. It's an action-packed adventure that will have you
looking at backyard rocks in a whole new way!
