When Moldavite was a huge hit a couple of years ago, they said the supply was limited. However, I see no end to them.

[@lapidarydave]

Howdy y’all

[@LisaCraft-f5k]

Hey Dave, did u get my invoice info for the meteorite sale stuff? I texted it to you during that live. I'm paranoid I got your number wrong or something. I'm hoping u just haven't sent them out because u guys are on the road. Please advise I'm a Noooob😂

[@lapidarydave]

@ hey there sorry it’s taken a while. I’ve been a little bit busy. Lynn packaged everything up so that we can see what size shipping boxes everyone’s taking so I could more accurately calculate the invoices they’re gonna come out tonight and tomorrow.

[@Lumablueglass]

Would you have the card of the Chinese carving person? Thanks so much. This video was wonderful

[@lapidarydave]

@Lumablueglass I don’t 🤷

[@abibitumiholistics]

Hey there! Who is the vendor with the viral beads ???

[@abibitumiholistics]

Coral beads vendor?? Please thanks

[@lapidarydave]

@@abibitumiholistics I had a few people asking about that. They were busy setting up so I didn’t get their card info, but I’m going to get their info the next couple days and I’ll share it here on KZbin

[@abibitumiholistics]

@ fabulous Dave I’ve been following your tube & I’m an artist and can’t wait to link up with vendors with raw materials ..

[@karmagelek5947]

Is there any Italian coral vendor at the gem show?

[@lapidarydave]

@@karmagelek5947 I don’t think dedicated Italian coral dealer, but I definitely know there’s Italian selling coral and there’s a lot of Mediterranean not just an Italy, but I think when people think of Mediterranean, they think of Italian Anyway, if I find one, I’ll film them for you

[@karmagelek5947]

@ thanks Dave I appreciate that

[@notreallyhome]

can you please post Andrew aka charorite's info? thx

[@Lapidary_Vix]

What-ra-up Yall...!

[@leonidmakogon3673]

WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE FROM ALL OF THIS... - SO THAT IT WOULD NOT BE EXPENSIVE! - SO THAT IT WOULD BE POLISHED OR CUT - SO THAT THE STONE WOULD NOT CRACK OR CRUSH.... AND SO THAT IT WOULD LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND BRIGHT??? YES THERE ARE NO BEAUTIFUL AND BRIGHT ONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING IS DULL AND UGLY!

[@lapidarydave]

You there are not the sharpest pair of scissors that’s for sure

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

And yet you probably watched the whole video ? How could you not find anything to your liking ? Perhaps you'd have better luck collecting wood carvings...

[@laurajames8071]

Is that coral farm raised? Asking for a friend.

[@lapidarydave]

@@laurajames8071 I doubt it really

[@Jordan__Sloan]

42:16 is that nephrite jade?

[@lapidarydave]

@@Jordan__Sloan im not too sure There was a dude at one of the jade festivals that said it was not truly a jade but it’s definitely respected in the jade scene

[@thephalaenopsisqueen6960]

I really like your content and I really want to watch all of your videos, but for some reason your videos literally make me feel nauseous for some reason. 🤢 I am not sure why. 😞 When I start to get the feeling I have to pause and walk away to make the feeling go away.

[@lapidarydave]

@@thephalaenopsisqueen6960 🤷

[@notreallyhome]

does he need CITES or license to sell coral and bring into usa or are certain species excempt? why charorite ruined for you? look for pieces that have white oil paint like swirls, no clue if best but think most beautiful and a blue not purple person! spent years finding the perfect piece for a pendant, some moron who owned a hippie crystal shop said I would never find a piece like his, he had a Native American necklace with other stones but he really annoyed me, not very zen of a crystal shop wacko, lol

[@lapidarydave]

@@notreallyhome out about it. I know the Italian coral take a little bit more seriously when it comes to conservation, but with the Moroccan stuff, I think it’s a free-for-all. There’s a lot of Mediterranean.
