I'm sooo excited that you are venturing into the hotel rooms. The quality is out of this world. thank you David for sharing this amazing event with the world. - South Africa
Please give more prices. You seem to avoid prices when ever possible. Maybe when you pick up a piece give the cost. All that stuff is crazy cool and I hope to make the big show next year
In his defense, oftentimes prices aren't posted and you don't want to disturb a vendor who is selling items to a buying client just to get pricing for a video.
Most things are priced and I'm talking about things common to most vendors. It's a big expense to go to a show so far away and find out you can buy stuff for the about the same price locally. We want to be blown away with the deals you get at the big shows.@@AlexaVonSuess
Thank you so much for featuring the hotel rooms at the Pueblo Show! I'm a gemologist, and I love to collect "stuff in quartz." When I arrived in Tucson this year, I went straight to room 113 at the Ramada Inn (Pueblo Show) and purchased a very nice, large Pom Pom quartz. I absolutely LOVE it! If I hadn't seen it in your video, I may not have even known that it existed. 🙏❤
Hey Dave, we love your channel!!! My family and I are miners and jewelry makers. We have 2 quartz crystal mining claims in Northern California. We also mine smokey quartz and amethyst on Peterson Mountain. AKA Hallelujah Junction. We will be in Tucson next week. Hope to see you there
Great to see the shows and videos again Dave. I met you at the Pueblo show last year. I wasnt able to make it this year so I have been looking forward to seeing all the great materials and people again
God, that seller in the hotel room had the coolest little cabochons. The jewelry one could make with some of those would be stunning. Also, the Pompon quarts where it's a single puff would be great for evil eye motif.
"Con te Partiro" on the jade xylophone. *chef's kiss* I see you are a man of culture. :) It's a good thing I'm not going, because I would be that person digging through the pocket stones for hours. That imperial he gave you though!!!! Beutiful!!
Ich gucke Deine Videos so gern. Ich würde es auch interessant finden, wenn Du mehr Verkaufspreise nennen würdest. Ich komme aus Deutschland und daher wüsste ich gern, wie teuer die Dinge bei Euch sind. Danke für das zeigen.
Thanks Dave! I hope to run into you again. And hand you some lunch money to say thanks for all you do. Also, I’ll share wisdom from Sprite that I’ve taken to heart, for folks reading. Buy in sets of three, one to sell, one to keep and one to gift ❤
That labadorite at the beginning is gorgeous!! ❤⭐ So newbie question for you. Does that light tell if the crystal is genuine? Where do you get them and how much are they?
I got the light from a jade dealer in Denver but if you look up jade lights online it should be easy to find the light doesn’t let you know if it’s real but lets you see into the stone when you can help with determining the quality not really it’s all authenticity
I don't belong here.... I'll come back if my life turns around! You are a good man Dave... appreciate you taking time to make suggestions... good luck with you
Hi Dave, I am going to Tucson from 2/6 to 2/10. I will try to look you up. I got that you will be at D22 but which show will you be at and when is your last day? Thanks.
Hey, actually I don’t vend my grandmother does at the Kino show at the Guseman fire agate booth off the main drag I’ll be out in about filming but you can always give me a text 772-284-4459 and I’ll let you know where I’m at
As a tumbler i know ppl that sell slabs.... i just ask them to reserve butt cuts for me so i can throw them in the tumbler... they become the ultimate freeform..
Hi Dave! I would like to ask! Is your buddy buying for himself, does he work with the crystalls or to sell them? I mean, because I’m exactly drawn to the same crystalls like him! It’s like a feeling vibe!! Topaz, lemurians.. nice🙏 thank you for your work!! Seeing you from Spain (Barcelona)😊
A friend and I Would like to attend the 2025 tuscon gem show. We are not in the business and just like to check it out. What is the best show for us to attend?
How in the world do some of these vendors ship some of these incredibly fragile stones? Some of them look like they would break if you breathed on him, much less packed them with packing materials.
Hi Dave. I always assumed that they glued them, but now that I think about it, in order to get each crystal looking the same and having all of those clusters looking the same, I am guessing that they are lab created. It is so unfortunate that these beautiful minerals from the Earth are being faked because even the fakes make money. All of the people who make the fake stuff need to go to jail!! And the thing that concerns me the most are the young people who will have a harder time learning what is real and what is fake and the difference.
@@bonblue4993 If lab grown were accurate to the natural material, is wouldn't be 'fake', but those weird lab grown quartz clusters are extremely fragile, too... it's like the molecular structures is more loose some how? If you clink them together they sound like cheapest quality ceramic and not like quartz at all. Weirdest damn thing.
Now I love me some Guitar brother...but why are you forcing us to listen to guitar over your conversation? Isn't that kinda rude to the gentlemen talking and your audience whose here for the show not the music. Love you Dave brother but this is super annoying I have to turn it off.
Because there was copyright music in the background I don’t really care to put my music in the videos videos, but I had to drown out the copyright music. I didn’t have a choice.

He started out showing the prices then gets side tracked with the history of the stones.
I wish I could be there this year but we have a newborn. I need to live vicariously through you! Keep the videos coming!! :D

The pom-pom is really beautiful.

Golden coral is extremely rare, especially when it looks like it has a real solid gold color. It's very nice
Sangat mempesona🎉
Those wacky formations at the Ricola mine!
😭😂⭐️

I feel like I’m watching Roller Gator with the guitar noodling.
Awesome video, great to see you boys back at it. Where are the rings sold by Miss Sarah from Canada? I'll be coming to Tucson next week!
She is at 22nd St. show which opens on Thursday. I’ll make sure to stop by and check out her stuff. Hope to see you there.
Thanks Dave! I hope to run into you again. And hand you some lunch money to say thanks for all you do.

Great sir!
Dang that’s a lot of stuff 😊
love the jade
The natrolite was pretty... some sell it as pink larimar though it is not larimar... not a pectolite. The turtle back pattern is nice.
Damn, Dave smashing out videos on the daily right now
Dave ur the shit my man.... ✌️😉
Thanks so much
What are the green gems next to those pink dendrites at 33:35 right before you leave the first place?
Love the guitar music in the opening of video!
Another great video. Some cool stuff. Hope you don’t get the rain coming from SoCal
It’s pouring here :)
Hey brother, I was gonna say if you wanted to come for a few days down to Tucson, you could stay with us. We got a couch for you.
That labadorite at the beginning is gorgeous!! ❤⭐ So newbie question for you. Does that light tell if the crystal is genuine? Where do you get them and how much are they?

@@lapidarydave Thank you Dave, for the quick answer and information/lesson. 😊
I want to know the correct name for the clear quartz with green moss/lichen stuff in them. I freaking love that stuff.
Pom Pom quartz is what they are calling it
I remember that material from before Covid. I got a piece. They used to call it "Dalmatian quartz" It's very pretty 🤩
I don't belong here.... I'll come back if my life turns around! You are a good man Dave... appreciate you taking time to make suggestions... good luck with you
Love you brother I got your back if you need anything
Hi Dave,
I am going to Tucson from 2/6 to 2/10. I will try to look you up. I got that you will be at D22 but which show will you be at and when is your last day? Thanks.

Akar bahar emas
I love the fact that you playing the guitar in the background Dave that’s awesome someday I’d like to see you and your band play
Dave, you here?
By the way, as far as I know, the green clusters with the dark green tops are fake. Clusters don't grow that way.
Yeah I know I just like messing with sprite lol those are super funny looking. Do you think they grow them like that or do they glue them maybe?

That shell, wasn't a shell ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Where the F did you guys park ?
Near African village 😭
Love your videos dave but could you leave out the guitar music so we can hear you talk about the stones .❤👍👍
No it was only there because there was copyright music in the background. I put up a little title that says that in the video.
Now I love me some Guitar brother...but why are you forcing us to listen to guitar over your conversation? Isn't that kinda rude to the gentlemen talking and your audience whose here for the show not the music. Love you Dave brother but this is super annoying I have to turn it off.

@@lapidarydave I get it unfortunate then. Hopefully the rest of the videos aren't like that. Especially my Opal videos!!!!! Lol
I love how there's no taxes on the rocks
