I so enjoy listening to your narration. Blessings to you & Mama Lynn.✨🙏🏼💜🌹💚🦋😘✨

[@silvergirl7810]

Dave, another great adventure into the world of rocks, minerals, gems and art! Love you and the commentary so much 🩵 It was the best when you were talking to some random stranger about the specimens and he ended up being the guy that owned them! 🤩The conversation the two of you had put a smile on my face and it looks like you made a great new friendship there- no one’s boring at those shows! Hugs to Mama Lynn 🩵

[@CloudDancer806]

That was very cool, Dave. Meeting the artist. Very cool❤

Hello friend, I can't stay for long on this live, but just wanted to say thank you for providing this video for those of us that couldn't make it out there. Much appreciated

[@lapidarydave]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@ed-el5yy]

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for taking so much time to show all the gems and minerals in the various displays!!! I had plenty of time to digest them with my eyes 😊 so many videos of the shows in Tucson pan across the pieces so fast that you only get a glimpse of the beauty of the scenery, and it's SO GREAT to watch one that really lets me drink it all in!! I just subscribed! 😊

[@lapidarydave]

Thank you so much for subscribing my friend 🙏🧡

[@sherrywright4557]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I adore the way you film each piece as if I would be ingesting each detectible morsel. So thoughtful and delicious! I appreciate you SO Much! ❤❤❤My life is richer because you take the time and courtesy to film these shows from your unique point of view. Much Love, peace & blessings to you, Dave!

[@lapidarydave]

Thank you sherry I appreciate your kindness 🙏🩵

[@pennymcculloch2859]

So happy you are back, Love from South Australia 🦘

[@lylepascoe7243]

Thank you for sharing the blessing of the Tucson gem shows with us. It is a highlight of my year. Could you perhaps do an episode with the dealers who make the specimen displays and people who make lighting for the cases? Watching this made me realise that the true beauty of the specimens are revealed in the way they are lit.

[@janececelia7448]

Thanks for the great tour.

[@nataliewielgus1472]

[@smokeydog67]

The Topaz’s have really captured my attention, the blues are definitely on the top of my list but, it’s like being in the fanciest candy shop you can imagine. Thanks for taking us along Dave, the next best thing to being there plus I had the best commentator!

[@bartcubbins3528]

Thanks for doing this! I wanted to make it this year , but the cost was too high for me (even planning 6 months in advance!) Maybe i can make it next year !

[@maudiusorelius1739]

That Bruce guy was awesome, I would love to have a beer and talk rocks with him. Just seemed fun, knowledgeable, and super down to earth.

[@elinoreberkley1643]

. It was nice to show where the origins are located.

[@farahi3976]

amazing show, dave

[@yeahweburnstuff]

I really enjoyed your speculations on the life cycle of crystals. The philosopher Rudolf Steiner suggested that crystals were the only part of non-biological matter that had a form of consciousness. 🙏

[@lapidarydave]

I completely agree whole heartedly

[@goldcambodia]

I see I love

[@RU3YJB]

Is there still an ethnographic room? (Tribal jewelry?)

[@lapidarydave]

No every year they do a different theme and a couple years ago there was a UV room. I don’t know when that room will be back but I think it’s like eight year cycles or something

[@intaglioarts]

Love the birds at 1:07

[@RayleneG679]

[@wyomingadventures]

Hi Dave, am I blocked from your channel? Someone told me I was. I still have been watching all your videos and livestreams. I hope I didn't do anything wrong. Thank you for all the amazing things on your channel. I love all the cool rocks you share with us.

[@lifegrip]

If you were blocked you wouldn’t be able to comment. And you just did comment. So I’m assuming you aren’t blocked.

[@lapidarydave]

Yep not block lol it’s hard to get blocked on my channel almost nothing bothers me

[@wyomingadventures]

@lifegrip wasn't sure anyone seen me. Glad I'm not blocked. Thank you!

[@Thereno1is]

Sometimes it ruins them Sometimes it makes them a lot better
