So Excited for Mayan Mountain!!!! Picked up some Sweet Pieces from Jesse he is Wonderful and So are You Dave Can’t wait to see more!!! Jade Fever Here We Go!!!🤩🤩🤩💚💚💚
very beautiful Jade! thanks Dave! I usually go to Tucson for the shows but, this year, i could not make it, so you are my eyes right now LOL keep making them
When I visited Guatemala I purchased a few pieces similar to this. I love buying directly from the natives/artist, many of them sell/ship internationally for those that are interested in pieces like these. At least this reseller is supporting the local communities where he gets his products from :)
OMG! What an awesome video! I LOVE jade and I'll definitely be looking for Jesse's booth when I'm in Tucson next year. I have a British Columbian nephrite jade donut that I have been wearing on a leather cord 24/7 for five years! I just picked up an amazing wire-wrapped pendant from Jesse's Etsy shop. I can't wait to get it !!! 😃
We just arrived in Tucson for our annual gem show visit! Can’t wait to get started tomorrow! Thanks, Dave, for several previews….will be visiting some of those vendors.
I love all this coverage! Part of me wishes all the videos were with the wonderful malachite gentleman and the kind woman from the Herkimer diamond booth though, they've been my favorite videos so far.
I Love Just Herks!!! Her video and this one of my favorite! I have to go see the Armando and Sons and Hoping to see the Australian Opal guys again!!! Dave is always treating us!!!
That alien head is beyond impressive. Not only made in jade, but Latin American cultures we have a lot of aliens stories embedded in our origin stories. And the detail of this alien head? Even more amazing!
Fabulous vid Dave, had found about Jesse @ Mayan mountain through Jordan’s of JOTT fair coverage but this content is particularly sweet. As of this moment yet to see Jesse having a RU-vid channel. Hope it’s soon, sounds like he has some amazing content to share. Cheers
Super again Dave! Hoping to do a pendant using some turquoise to start. Any suggestions regarding vendors that you would recommend to hit as well as what minerals/stones are forgiving for a beginner? I've seen some of your videos but can't recall where you were. Hoping to get a scale before I head south. Any recommendations would be great on that as well. I have a gallery here in Wisconsin that I hope to make home to some special mineral and rock friends along with trying my hand at cabbing. Mayan Mountain Man is amazing. Thank you my friend.
Jeff best , Mckay Anderson, and Durango turquoise are my three favorites. They all have affordable material and they are all at the Kino show. Make sure to let me know when you’re there I can help you pick out some stuff in. It would be cool to say hi.
@@lapidarydave absolutely Dave. I hope to get to Tucson on Saturday and get to the last day of the showv on Sunday if you're around. I wish my plans were earlier but its a 3-4 day drive out of the Cheese Curtain of Wisconsin and I am traveling with my pups. I would be so excited to meet you and get your expertise. Love your channel!

Oh dear! Only the imperial green cabochons and the sky blue high icy jaideite are good. The rest has "mian" (cotton 棉）and cracks in them, especially amongst the donuts.
let me know what you need, my friend. I’ll give you a hand. I’m gonna have my friend sprite do some shopping for folks on the channel. He knows beads more than anybody I know he’ll shop for you if you’re interested, he knows the best be dealers, especially for the wholesale stuff.
@@lapidarydave thanks for your videos they have been helping me not only with boredom but also with my depression. I love how passionate you are about gemstones/rocks.
