Looks great because you can spot out some good quality. Among the other specimens.

[@RICDirector]

The second piece of ribbon agate was just awesome.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Yes, it was a nice specimen.

[@jeffholmes1362]

I love seeing these gem shows, I haven’t been able to get to one for years. Thanks for sharing

[@VintageTimeGems]

I'd like to go to more gem shows...There are not enough of them.

[@TonysGemDesignswithGCS]

Oh, and he did drop in for a quick visit at the faceting weekend. Lot of people from the weekend went to the show as well.

[@alonsocarvalho5996]

Lindo material. Parabéns e muito obrigado por compartilhar.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thank You.

[@gemfaceter]

Can't wait to see you facet some of that opalite. You got a great deal on that lemon quarts are stones here in the U.S. are a lot higher. Even the synthetic is a lot higher here.

[@soomcire]

I’d say that the price is definitely good on the lemon quartz. I wouldn’t have been able to stick to my budget in there, either. Nice haul!

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks

[@tonywild1963]

There were some beautiful crystals and gems at that show, was great to look round with you cliff. I think your prices are very good there and you bought some good pieces. That yappy dog was annoying tho. Thank you for sharing your trip

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Tony...

[@hometowntreasures1642]

Not as many rough gems at shows here- many that I buy are on internet.-looks like that was a fair price because you can pick it out.

Đã đẹp của. Mã não quý

[@milkismurder]

Pretty sure that Opalite is man made, broken up to look rough. Loved the gem show tour. That piece of rough citrine is a winner for the price

[@VintageTimeGems]

I think you may be right Adam...

[@zzc8505]

this may not be exactly on topic, but I wasn't sure where to post my question: I've just come across a beautiful video of yours in which you polish/facet quartz. I've got some questions about faceting quartz, but since that video is a few yrs old I wasn't sure if posting a question there was the right thing to do. My question is: how unavoidable is "windowing" in faceted quartz of 140-200ct?... I saw some faceted quartz in that carat range, but they had fairly large windows (you can read newspaper through it). I was told that to preserve the size of the stone windowing sometimes is unavoidable. And that some other characteristics of raw quartz limit what kind of faceting it can take and make windowing unavoidable. But then some other ppl told me that windowed faceted quartz comes primarily from "3rd world countries" where they do not follow faceting standards strictly (.e.g., Refractive index, critical angle etc.). Could you share your thoughts/experience on this?... I'd appreciate it very much as this info seems so hard to come by. Maybe, you could do a vid on right and "wrong" faceting etc?... Thank you very much!!!

Tenho muitas gemas,mas nunca achei comprador 😪😪😪

[@tomashak8407]

Hello, I am huge fan of your work and your videos. I would like to know the brand of your mast, becouse I don't want to buy cheap AliExpress stuff. Can you please tell me the brand and type? Thank you so much again, Thomas, Czech Republic (the other side of Earth)

[@RICDirector]

What are the spotted stone slabs at about @4:30?

[@VintageTimeGems]

I have no idea...

[@vikrantkaushal6725]

Hello sir i am from India and i am looking for 6.8 carate genuine Ruby gemstone. How much its cost. Could you help me to find best genuine ruby for me

[@elsiehair8136]

no vids for a while, hope everything is OK at your end.

[@VintageTimeGems]

I'm still well, but family commitments and work has gotten in the way of faceting and prospecting.

[@jameswelch1054]

Opalite is man made. no such thing as natural opalite. Those barking dogs made me think you were in the Philippines, lol.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Your probably correct. I do recall seeing potchy crystal opal back in the 80's that was known a common opal and it looked the same. I was told it was natural by the seller, but these days you never know?

[@marksgemfaceting]

In comparison to UK prices you are getting an absolute bargain, very very jealous.

[@VintageTimeGems]

I've heard that gem rough in Europe is expensive...
