I am from Guatemala, that jade is called Olmec blue, it is one of the rarest and hardest and 80% of the jade here is jadeite. Jo the Mayans did great things with jade and without metal stone with stone, those axes used them for different things such as sculpting, cutting and decorating.

[@lapidarydave]

Wow that is so nice of you to say thank you so much

If you ever get to Oregon, the Rice Gem and Mineral Museum is a worthwhile trip. The house in which it’s housed is one of the first ranch style homes in Oregon. It’s quite a big collection. I think you’d be impressed.

[@lapidarydave]

Holy smokes I’m definitely gonna write that down so that when I go to Oregon I can check it out thank you for the suggestion my friend I’m stoked

[@kathleenmayhugh2246]

The lybian desert glass actually happened from a meteorite exploding in air above, they estimate it was as big as 3 atomic bombs. That made sand melt to desert glass as you see.

[@lapidarydave]

Wow that’s amazing

[@jerijames2876]

[@lapidarydave]

My pleasure thank you for watching

Hi Dave, Australian vs Ethiopian. Wet finger and touch stone. If it sticks its Ethopian if it doesn't Australian (Coober Pedy or LR). If you own the stones use your tongue. You'd be surprised by the difference and how much the Ethopian almost bonds to your tongue. Thanks for all your work, walk thrus, education and videos.

[@lapidarydave]

Thank you so much for your kindness and for your tips I have got to give it a try sometime soon

[@jiggyfun807]

I can't get enough Dave.

Those Olovine meteorites under the 2 skulls are Pallasites. Very rare and very beautiful when sliced

I'm only 5: minutes in so far... Has your Godfather created a jig of sorts to cradle & create those 'pocket-holes.' I would imagine he wouldn't need to... but I might! Also that 'mini hat' looks like a sink flange. (but your probably about to say that)

Have you ever cut a sugarloaf cabochon?

[@lapidarydave]

I don’t think I’ve heard of it before:)

@@lapidarydave No one has a video of making one up. I was hoping you might have walked the path.

@@zhp500 OK I know what you’re talking about now you’re talking about the Sugarloaf cut it’s like a shape right?

[@zhp500]

@@lapidarydave Think star sapphire dome, but with edges. 4 edges is the most I have seen on a sugarloaf. Most no sharp edge but I have seen some with but only 2 of the edges being sharp.
