One Paul has mentioned, Geologic Journey. There was recently a marathon of episodes where I live and I recorded a great deal of them. Quite interesting. My favorite, you have already mentioned--How the Earth Was Made. I own this on Blu-Ray and love watching it.

Another that seems to be in the same style as these is a show called When Earth Erupts. I have a few episodes recorded and have enjoyed them. Another program I watched in the past year or so was on National Geographic Channel, and I believe it was titled Naica: Beyond The Crystal Cave. It was a 2 hour documentary on the Naica caves and chambers.]]> Scott Sadlocha Scrapbook Fri, 17 May 2013 16:23:21 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,17,293399,294114#msg-294114 Re: Documentaries about geology, mineralogy etc. http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,17,293399,294114#msg-294114
I would recommend checking out NOVA on PBS's website. They have several documentaries that include Earth Sciences and as well as other topics. You can find it here:

No, it is a water clear colorless crystal.
