Quartzite Pow Wow Gem Show 2025 - Part1

[@SRLGemstone]

The way you questioned and analyzed was very good. I especially liked a few of them, thanks for sharing Dave.💗

[@nikkilovesrocks]

The amount of time it takes to watch your gem & mineral shows for me… “pause video, google name, read & look, next search nearby areas to mine or locate (if any), back to video” 😂 💖

[@lapidarydave]

Great video. What I like about your videos at these shows is just the real interaction you have with some of these guys. I learn so much watching. Maybe one day I can make it out there and experience it all in person. Until then I so appreciate you for doing these videos.

[@donaldfitzgerald8950]

Deep Greens & Blues are the colors I choose! Love the shows Dave, wish I was capable to make them myself, so another New Year of awesome material, thanks for sharing for so many years....⚖️

Great video dave was just there ourselves on Tuesday only went for the day and mostly visited with friends but it’s always a fun trip with lots of friendly people and way too much to ever see.

Thanks for the coverage of the Pow Wow, Dave

[@aureaphilos]

Happy 2025 Dave! So nice to see you again out at shows. You've got such an eye for interesting and beautiful specimens, whether slabs or specimens. I'll try to get a slab of that Electrum from Silver Hill Lapidary!

[@LisaCraft-f5k]

That crushed opal in those purple and green stones is a wild idea! At first I almost jumped thru screen like what stone is that with opal inclusion 😂😂😂

[@Badr_agate_kech]

Dave! I am gonna go broke - thanks! I just e-mailed Jeff for these beauties: 10:38 and 24:22.

[@barkantekdogan3182]

Hello Dave,why don't you consider making a video on how you built the homemade diamond grinder. Thanks.

[@misssparks3596]

This is the second video I have watched that showed this stuff. Hope there is some left when I get there :)

[@CANNAROCKHOUNDING]

Nice video

[@goldcambodia]

Good!

[@ResortDog]

Such fun!

[@julirichmond3]

I miss quartsite

[@wildwisdom56]

Any advice on Mariposite? I've got several pounds of it. I don't have any lapidary equipment though.

[@lapidarydave]

@@wildwisdom56 do you mean advice on polishing it?

[@wildwisdom56]

@lapidarydave I'm hoping to put it in someone's hands that can turn it into cabochons or whatever shape they want. I don't know the value raw or as a piece but it is similar to ocean picture stone except with greens not blues. I'm into too many other incomplete projects to invest in equipment. Thanks for your time

[@Neil23SA]

Dave you see any rainbow lattice Sunstone?

[@lapidarydave]

I didn’t see any here in quartzite, but it’s all over Tucson, roughly African and Australian the Australian wildly expensive but definitely worth it

[@LisaCraft-f5k]

Dave, can we order from vendors u have shown biz info on, online? Granted the material wont be exactly the same but do u know their feelings on it?

[@lapidarydave]

@@LisaCraft-f5k I think most would absolutely love that especially everyone I’ve shown I think it’s definitely worth reaching out to them. It’s actually why I do what I do.

[@kennykaspar3407]

Will you do something special when you reach 100k subscribers?

[@lapidarydave]

@@kennykaspar3407 sure going to have pizza party

[@markwetmore8986]

Oolitic agate?

Wow. What high prices on chips of junk. Do people actually buy that crap for those prices?

[@misssparks3596]
