SPECIAL NOTE: We are releasing this film so that it is FREE to the public via YouTube. This is in reaction to the current new Coronavirus pandemic that is sweeping the world. The best advice to help head off this disease (other than washing hands, covering your coughs and not touching our faces) is self-isolation. So in this time of self-isolation, we at BlueCap Productions wanted to try and provide at least a little relief to the mineral collecting community with this free copy of this film. Please enjoy and be safe.
