The Big Sur jade festival is amazing. I used to live there. I have some amazing pieces.

[@moxiemcmahon]

Another great one Dave, I always learn so much and laugh. Thanks!

[@JenniferConnolly-kw1oq]

The 'stiff'/non-chain necklaces (3:00) are called torques. They are classic in Celtic historical jewelry but many other cultures also. I love that artist's take on torques though!

[@lapidarydave]

oh man I went to the big sur jade fest. it was not cancelled. It tumbles well with some hit or misses, it can flake apart. The quality of jade there varies. I got a mountain of serp and soapstone, but both are beautiful carved and cut too. The divers and carvers are no joke, and that coastline can be vary dangerous. I have met a few of them and the work they do is insane. I suggest hitting both the Monterey jade festival and the big sur jade festival. I got some great deals from the big sur jade fest hands down super happy with my purchases from there. Matt Glasby, Jason Salter, moonstone matt, along with another handful of folks really make some great stuff.

hello my friend you were right it did not get canceled I actually found this video that you were watching earlier in January 2022 and at the time they were talking about either canceling it or moving it to October which is what they did do I believe also I believe it’s the first year of the Monterey Jade for silver not mistaken I really wanted to go to that my good friend Daniel went to that and said it was awesome I should’ve put some thing in the video to let them know that it did happen this year but I was in a hurry to put this video out since I’m so behind thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate you Watching and thank you so much for sharing the name of those awesome artist at the bottom of your comment

[@ohdannyboy4727]

@@lapidarydave no sir thank you for posting up those awesome cases. I am blown away with what folks can do with agate and gemstones. always a pleasure to watch you document some amazing stuff. Always therapeutic to watch you cab too, until the day I can get one for myself.

[@TurnedandTuned]

Nice video. Thanks for recording at the shows. It's a great way to share your love of the art and inspire others who might not have had the chance to see a show otherwise. BTW, that rhodochrosite from Mexico with the black on it isn't a matrix, it is manganese produced as a oxidation byproduct. At one point that black portion was bright pink like the rest of it.

[@lapidarydave]

awesome info thanks so much for watching and for sharing :)

[@neggispringfeild]

[@canadiangemstones7636]

I bet if you were at Quartzite fifty years ago, the cases would be just about the same. Kinda surreal lack of... progress. 😢
