Of the advice presented, I would highlight is to stay hydrated and to bring a helper, especially someone who has no interest in crystals, minerals, and gems. Oh, another is to label an ID on what it is. An opal might be an opal, but is it Ethiopian or Australian?
thank you for making this video I'm up at 4 in the morning cuz I'm not feeling well so I'm watching crystal videos to distract myself and I got sucked in to your tips they were good I'm going to use them at the oregon gem show that's coming up
love this video! Was wondering, what's the best gem and minerals show to go to? I'm thinking of traveling with a friend to one and would like to plan this trip. Thanks for any info. :)
The best thing to do is just research online what's in your area. Look up, "Gem and Mineral" show and name of state or city. This will give you a lot of options. Then you can often go directly to the the show's webiste to see what kind of vendors will be there. The biggest one that I know of is the one in Tucson Arizona. I've never been to that one!
SpiritualReSOULutions by Re-CreativeResources I really took all your advice in this video you shared, super golden advice! Went to the 2018 Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show and omgoddess, it's huge! My very first gem show, so vast I never really finished all the shows in five days omgoddess so overwhelming! I found that while there I literally needed to disconnect from it all and do the mall bit, something different and away from so much crystal energies because it was so intense. But I loved it, and they also have a free gem shuttle service ride to all the different shows. It's totally so organized and I stayed at a hotel right small k in the middle of it all which made it easier for me without needing a car. I plan on going again next year again because I purposely left a chunk of myself there lol.
How do u crack geode , mine are natural rocks, we tried a hammer, it just gave me the thought r all geodes have crystals, but opening it it just hard.. any idea, if there r easier way
That's a tough question and really depends on where you are shopping. I bring a few hundred in cash for vendors that may prefer cash but I mostly use my business debit card.
Not at large mineral shows like Tucson, Munich, Sainte Marie, Denver, etc. There are dealers from all over the world. Do you plan on waiting until the following year to voice your complaint? You do learn which ones to stay away from. For example, I wouldnt buy fossils from Moroccan dealers. So many sell fakes. Chinese dealers sell lots of fake/treated minerals and say it's natural. Not all do, but you'd be amazed how many people buy them. It's usually weird new age people that think crystals have energy and not actual mineral collectors.
The world is equally full of good and bad people that's just the way it is. I Have seen alot of fake Jade and Moldavite ,amber as well, gold ,Silver. Smh😒. It happens alot you are buying Moldavite make sure to bring a friend or professional with you because ,trust me you will cry your eyes out and be so angry when you find out it's as fake as a 3 dollar bill lol! Moldavite is very expensive and if you end up with a large piece and get it cheap then it's too good to be true. Alot of people are trying to pull off making glass and plastic hunks of Moldavite that to a person who is not too familiar with the real thing cannot tell the difference.

Look up on RUclips. I'm sure there are videos on how to do it.
What amount of money do you feel is good to take with you? To buy as a new business owner and at wholesale prices??
That's a tough question and really depends on where you are shopping. I bring a few hundred in cash for vendors that may prefer cash but I mostly use my business debit card.

Vendors success rely on word of mouth. Why would a vendor risk their reputation by selling fake stones?
Either greed or honest mistake. It's really no different than any other industry.
Not at large mineral shows like Tucson, Munich, Sainte Marie, Denver, etc. There are dealers from all over the world. Do you plan on waiting until the following year to voice your complaint? You do learn which ones to stay away from. For example, I wouldnt buy fossils from Moroccan dealers. So many sell fakes. Chinese dealers sell lots of fake/treated minerals and say it's natural.

Check the weather.
For outdoor events indeed
Going in 2022

These are pragmatic tips not just buying crystals. Work same elsewhere :)
