Hats off to you for bringing your kids to see the show. They will have lifetime memories of the experience.

Thank you! We tend to go on many adventures together and giving them lifelong memories is priority #1! Thanks for watching!

Looks awesome! I have to admit. I hav e ever been to the gem show.

[@LifeOnVideo]

It is definitely worth walking around! We never really buy much, but just looking is a ton of fun!

[@desert-walker]

I’ve been there the last two days, but going to that one today. Everything is more expensive and there seems to be less people kind of strange if you think about it normally it’s packed but not this time.😊

[@LifeOnVideo]

It felt busy when we were there, but that was also a Saturday. Any good recommendations for which other ones to visit? Thanks for watching!

[@alexfodor6765]

Totaly agree, it looks almost empty compared to other years

[@madzen112]

I'd go!

[@LifeOnVideo]

This is definitely a fun event for sure! Thanks for watching!

That wooly rhino dealer is at the NJ show as well!

[@LifeOnVideo]

That's awesome! I noticed they were advertising their next road show coming up in a different state. This display was definitely amazing! Thanks for watching!

@@LifeOnVideo I simply must get a rhino toof!

[@LifeOnVideo]

Hahaha let me know if you end up getting one! I need more encouragement for me to get one too lol!

@@LifeOnVideo Fossils are super addictive. I started out with one shark tooth and I have a 100 different specimens now

[@LifeOnVideo]

I can only imagine! I have always been into archeology and geology, so I probably would develop a spending habit... Lol

[@madzen112]

Everyone remembers their first fossil

[@LifeOnVideo]

First fossils are definitely important! Thanks for watching!

[@xiaoli8380]

Do you remember the name of the dealer who sell petrified wood?

[@LifeOnVideo]

Unfortunately not... I just looked back through my footage of that tent and I only got the inside and there were no name markings noticeable. It is also not listed on the Gem Shows map either b/c I checked that too. Sorry! If I go back I'll drop the name back here for you! Thanks for watching!

Not to throw a web blanket on your video but it's also a little buyer beware at Tucson. Those "giant" crystals" may be nothing more than the rock shaped to look like a crystal. A lot of those nice crystal points are nothing but shaped and formed crystal to get the most money out a plain bunch of stone. Same with all the dyed stuff out there.

[@LifeOnVideo]

That's a good point. Though, I really hope people spending top dollar for some of those items have the knowledge to understand all the complexities behind real and fake lol! Thanks for watching!

[@JSees]

Dude, they don't put a finish on the ends of petrified wood, they polish it.

[@LifeOnVideo]

Wow! Clearly I couldn't tell! That's impressive honestly. Lesson learned! Thanks for the info.
