Another great video Dave! Fyi didn't get my live notification though I'm belled...also found out that piece I sent you a pic of is turquiose!...and ironically there are some pieces(smaller not like the big chalk piece) that also have red in them like the one you showed on the stream today! Take care Dave hope you are getting rest!
😂 It happens less than you think. I put all our display up (Down to Earth Rock Shop) and I’ve only dropped one maybe once every 3 or 4 shows. I have only broken one in the last 3 years. We have a large triple shelve display so we have a lot of rocks out on stands each show.
NO, some reptiles can only see images that are moving, so it is reasonable to postulate dinosaurs also relied on differentials in images to see objects, in fact your eye is always jittering (saccadic eye motion), without that motion you would also not see objects
Also I need your help! Lol I sent an email ages back ummmm maybe I can send you again or another way, I don't have Facebook or Instagram so not sure where else to look for help identifying some native American turqoise pieces I have I really mainly just want to figure out where the turqoise might be from...I do have one native piece I can't identify tribe at all not sure if you could try helping with that?
I heard a while back the Chinese govt was really making it hard to get turq out of the country? I too love Chinese and would say alot of it is as good as or better than most domestic. Some people are selling it for more than high grade carico or Damali,crazy .
Not too sure about the Chinese turquoise thing I have a lot of friends to get it quite often and easily throughout the year however I wouldn’t be surprised if what they were buying somehow or another who is through the government over there or at least buttering their biscuit I’ve definitely seen some Chinese high and turquoise that goes for a lot more than some high-end American and quite often it’s definitely worth it
@@lapidarydave yeah I didn't know what to make of it either but I definitely didn't think it was too out there. I found a Chinese site where they had some nice nice bigger chunks but again I wasn't sure of how it would look upon arrival if I'd even get it after payment. Good vids sir keep it up.
Wow...gorgeous rocks...sigh... Hey, whats been going on with the channel? I see videos go up, then poof! Theyre private or just gone... Ps...what do you do with a lotta unlabeled but nice rocks my grandmother collected? No ids, but very nice specimens in there....
I can say from experience be careful buying online the color shown tends to be different from what you receive like usually makes them look way better than they really are. Again from experience if you can find a good dealer that won't do you dirty . However again in my experience taking some losses is part of the learning curve . Another one is what I would do if I was you if you plan on cutting and polish your own stuff is get some less valuable material and practice on that till you get better nothing like seeing a first time or few first cabs that in hind site you should have approached a bit differently. Some sites will say they have all this lander blue natural and maybe they do I can't say they don't but from what I understand all that was ever mined from that one was well documented and only so much came out of it so are they being shady idk but it's a lot of money to spend if it isn't what they say it is. Some dealers will pass on what they were told and got burned without really knowing and some will just burn you ,again it's a big big world the turq is so many different colors from so many different mines , natural,stabilized ,enhanced and just straight up plastic. Good luck to you sir hope you can get some quality stuff for a decent price from a good good seller.
