I am from Guatemala, that jade is called Olmec blue, it is one of the rarest and hardest and 80% of the jade here is jadeite. Jo the Mayans did great things with jade and without metal stone with stone, those axes used them for different things such as sculpting, cutting and decorating.
That is fantastic I love Guatemala and I love Guatemalan culture specially the art culture turn on my fantastic people but amazing artists thank you so much for watching and thank you so much for commenting I really appreciate it
The lybian desert glass actually happened from a meteorite exploding in air above, they estimate it was as big as 3 atomic bombs. That made sand melt to desert glass as you see.
Hi Dave, Australian vs Ethiopian. Wet finger and touch stone. If it sticks its Ethopian if it doesn't Australian (Coober Pedy or LR). If you own the stones use your tongue. You'd be surprised by the difference and how much the Ethopian almost bonds to your tongue. Thanks for all your work, walk thrus, education and videos.
If you ever get to Oregon, the Rice Gem and Mineral Museum is a worthwhile trip. The house in which it’s housed is one of the first ranch style homes in Oregon. It’s quite a big collection. I think you’d be impressed.
first time looking at what goes on at a Gem show. thought it was only rocks, crystals, etc only. But there's a variety of stuff there. thanks, first time watching.

I'm only 5: minutes in so far... Has your Godfather created a jig of sorts to cradle & create those 'pocket-holes.' I would imagine he wouldn't need to... but I might! Also that 'mini hat' looks like a sink flange. (but your probably about to say that)
