Digging, dynamite, danger – it’s all in a day’s work for the miners whose livelihoods depend on these natural wonders. Packed with travel and adventure, each 30-minute episode follows mineral expert Thomas Nagin as he travels to some of the richest and most remote mines on earth, taking viewers deep underground to experience a world of natural beauty and immense wealth.
This journey takes us both above and below eastern Brazil as Nagin explores Governador Valadares, the center for minerals in Brazil, as well as one of the world's best places for paragliding before traveling to Minas Gerais. Famed for its gemstones, we see how Brazil's minerals are cut, polished, and prepared for market. Thomas travels to local mines to find gems in their natural, but equally beautiful form, visits the renowned Pederneira tourmaline mine, and an aquamarine mine where he explores a newly found gem pocket as it's being uncovered.
