0:02:18 > 0:02:21Collecting gemstones sounds like a great hobby.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25A hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27There are lots of different hobbies,

0:02:27 > 0:02:29as it depends on what you like to do.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Grace has chosen to start collecting gemstones.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Gemstones are a type of crystal which are taken from the ground

0:02:36 > 0:02:38and often used to make jewellery.

0:02:38 > 0:02:43Hobbies can include collecting items like rubbers, key rings or fossils,

0:02:43 > 0:02:47doing an activity like painting or drawing, or playing a game or sport.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51Grace and Mum are going to a cave to see where gemstones come from,

0:02:51 > 0:02:55but to get there, they have to travel in a cable car up a mountain.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Wow, here's the cable car that's going to take us up the hill.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Are we going to get in?

0:03:00 > 0:03:05They board the car, the big wheel turns the cable, and off they go!

0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Go!- Go!- Go-go-go!

0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Bumpier.- Is it getting bumpier?

0:03:17 > 0:03:21- It's because it's going faster. - What a great view.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24What can you see?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Houses.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Can you see a river?- Yeah.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31And the cars on the road here.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Are we really high?- Yeah.- We are.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Look, Grace, more cable cars!

0:03:39 > 0:03:43As we're going up, they're coming down.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48- Finally, they arrive at the top and get out of the cable car.- Quick.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53The first thing in Grace's memory box is a cable car.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58At the top of the mountain is the entrance to a cave

0:03:58 > 0:04:02- where the gemstones are.- Hey, guys, welcome. I'm Gemma. Put these on.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- We're going to keep you safe round the cave.- Thanks.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09- We'll take you underground and show you some rocks.- Let's go.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Hang on to the railings. Come on, nice and steady.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- A bit wet.- It is a bit wet.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17The cave goes down inside the mountain.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Oh, wow, Grace, we're going deeper and deeper into the cave.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26- I wonder what we'll find. - I wonder if we can see gemstones.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- I wonder if we can.- It's narrow.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Yes, all this rock around us.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Wow!

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Look at that big rock up there, Grace.- Oh, yeah.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41What do you think that rock looks like?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Do you think it looks like a crocodile?

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Can you see the crocodile shape in the rock?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49His big nose and his eye sticking out up there.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53- That's the Rockadile. - What does it eat?- It eats rocks.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56It eats rocks?! That's funny.

0:04:56 > 0:05:01- Shall we go and see the rest, guys? - Yeah.- Yeah? Fantastic.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04The ranger leads them carefully through a tunnel

0:05:04 > 0:05:07into another large chamber.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Grace, it's slippy. Be careful, darling.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13- It's pretty in here. - What do you reckon to that?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Look how big that chamber is. - Wow! That's a big cave, isn't it?

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- They're changing colours.- They are.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Can you see all the shiny crystals in the rocks?

0:05:22 > 0:05:27The ranger shows Grace where gems are formed in the rock.

0:05:27 > 0:05:28So this is calcite.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32This is what they use in road paint to make the lines on the road

0:05:32 > 0:05:34shiny and reflective.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Can you hear that noise, Grace?

0:05:36 > 0:05:39WATER DRIPS

0:05:39 > 0:05:41What does it sound like, Grace?

0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Clicking.- It sounds clicking. - It's like...

0:05:44 > 0:05:46SHE CLICKS

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- It is!- Sounds like water dripping in.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Can you see the shiny bits in the roof?

0:05:52 > 0:05:57- What do you think it is?- Sparkles. - It is sparkles, it's gold!

0:05:57 > 0:06:00It's not real gold. It's fool's gold. Iron pyrite.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03It gets the name because you can use it to light fires.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Now they've finished looking round the cave,

0:06:06 > 0:06:10they climb up some steep steps and on to the misty hillside.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Wow, daylight again, Grace.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15You can see a long way from the top of a hill.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Look how far we are. I can see a castle there.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21A castle? Oh, yeah!

0:06:22 > 0:06:26The second thing to go into the memory box is a cave.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Grace and Mum have come to the shop

0:06:31 > 0:06:34which sells the gems dug from underground.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38What's all these, all these precious stones?

0:06:38 > 0:06:41They're all the colours in the rainbow.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45Would you like a bag and put some in here for your collection at home?

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Which ones would you like? - I'm going to choose.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53- They're lovely, these, aren't they? - Yeah, really lovely.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56What beautiful colours for your collection.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58I think your bag is full now.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Shall we have a look over there? - Yeah.- OK, come on, then.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- With our things.- Good girl.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Oh, look, Grace, I can see fool's gold.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Did we see that in the cave?

0:07:10 > 0:07:14- I like these.- Wow, that's nice.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17It is. Look how many colours.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20And, look, they've used some to make bracelets.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23That's a good idea.

0:07:23 > 0:07:28They pay for their gems and head off to look for more stones outside.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32The third thing to go into the memory box is some gemstones.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Grace and her mum have come to a stone centre

0:07:38 > 0:07:40and have been given special permission

0:07:40 > 0:07:43to pick up a few stones for her collection.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Wow, Grace, look at all them big rocks over there.- Oh, yeah.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Oh, yeah. Shall we go and see what we can see?- Yeah.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Grace has a look around and finds some interesting stones.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59- Let's go and find some more. - What a great place to explore.

0:07:59 > 0:08:05Look, Grace, that is definitely a stone for your collection.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Wow, putting it in?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Oh, I love that blue one there.- OK.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- That's a pretty one. - OK, pop it in.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21OK, I think we're done now. Let's go.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Mum now takes Grace to a special pool of water that's been set up

0:08:25 > 0:08:27so people can try panning safely.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Panning is when you wash gravel or sand in a pan

0:08:30 > 0:08:32to separate the stones.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Do you fancy panning for some gemstones?- Gemstones?

0:08:35 > 0:08:38It looks like there's only sand in there.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42We need to wash the sand away. Can you do it on your own?

0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Give it a shake.- Can you see the colours starting to appear?

0:08:48 > 0:08:51I can see the gemstones.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- That's a final one for your collection.- Pop it in.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59- Grace, gemstone collection's looking really good.- It's finished.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Let's go home. - Grace takes her gemstones home.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06As well as digging gemstones out of the ground, many years ago,

0:09:06 > 0:09:10people used to pan rivers for gold and other precious gemstones.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13These stones are then cut and polished

0:09:13 > 0:09:17and used for making jewellery, such as rings and necklaces.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Mum and Grace are in the garden and Mum has an idea.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Do you know how we've been collecting our gemstones?- Yeah.

0:09:24 > 0:09:28I've got an idea. You know how Mummy likes collecting jewellery?

0:09:28 > 0:09:32Would you like to make some with the gemstones that you've collected?

0:09:32 > 0:09:37- Yeah.- Yeah? That's a nice hobby, isn't it?- Yeah. Gather them up.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Grace sorts out the stones and Mum glues on a bead.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43I've done a rainbow, Mummy.

0:09:43 > 0:09:48Oh, yeah, you've made a rainbow with all your gems. That's beautiful.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52OK, Grace, we're going to make our necklace now.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Can you pick the first gemstone?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Thread it on.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58So we go through.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Can you pull it?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Shall we try it on you?

0:10:03 > 0:10:09Oh, look! It's made a necklace.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Well done, Grace.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15The fourth thing into the memory box is a necklace.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Today, Grace began her first hobby.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Can you remember what happened?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Let's have a look in the memory box.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29First, Grace went up a mountain in a cable-car.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Next she visited a cave to see where gemstones come from.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37Then she went on a gemstone hunt.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Finally, she made a necklace.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Today, Grace started her first hobby.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45There's a first time for everything!
