in this video I take you folks on a` stroll trough some more of the Pueblo Gem and Fossil Hotel Shows we Chat a bit and learn a bit about Amethyst share a Coconut check out some Mexican wood sculptures and fondle some gemstone goodies
It must be one of the greatest feelings in the world to find them especially if you were allowed to own them unfortunately probably over 90% of the people my name I getting paid a few dollars by the day and don’t get any benefits from finding fantastic pieces which are sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars
I really enjoyed your video- I have been attending Tucson for 20 years. I had an art gallery business but not anymore. This year didn't get to inside Jogs or Pueblo but found my joy at 22nd street and Electric Park. I always enjoy gem mall. And I really enjoyed the outside of Jogs. All my art shows have been cancelled this year but I was invited to become a member of a popular artist co-op that is just beginning. When a door closes a window opens........ahhhh feel the breeze. xo
Love your videos. I like how you actually go slow enough to let us actually see the detail. Other peoples videos just fly by and don't get close to anything. I like hearing what prices are on the smaller pieces, beads etc.
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying me taking the time to talk about the peace and sharing the price is what makes my channel a little different I think
Diane Green Me to the gentleman says that the wood comes from Mexico but I believe he said that it was all carved in the United States they look a lot like Mexican sculptures to me perhaps the Mexican sculptures now live in the United States perhaps on the border much like the way fender guitars works with Mexicans on the border of Mexico
All the Geodes are amazing especially the Amethyst ones. Thankyou for sharing with us that will never see these in person. The Agate slices are beautiful.
Tanya Bonnett Thank you so much for watching and enjoying please consider subscribing if you haven’t done so already and when you come to Tucson let me know I’ll show you around
Thanks for talking about the ways they manipulate the different crystals with titanium ,dyes or heat treat treat and so on. I learn so much from you vids. Keep up the awesome content dude ❤️
Thank you so much for watching my friend I really appreciate it sorry I’m just now seeing your comment I haven’t been getting comment notifications which is weird
Another fantastic video! I've become throughly addicted to your channel! Really enjoy your upbeat delivery and the kind natured, respectful way you talk with the vendors. Great fun touring the shows with you buddy. Please keep them coming! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
1969nathaniel Thank you so much for enjoying I really appreciate it there’s a lot of you tubers showing off Denver in Tucson but I think my style has a little something different I only show Love And I like to share what little knowledge I’ve learned about what I see and when I recognize I don’t believe in trade secrets
Life goals: some day own a weird old idiosyncratic house and dedicate at least one room to ginormous geodes, crystal caves, agate slices, and unique mineral specimens!
@@lapidarydave in this fantasy I’m already independently wealthy, so perhaps instead of money, people have to bring me a haunted artifact to add to the collection 😁
@@stellabelikiewicz1523 that is a great idea I have a friend in Florida that has a oddity museum and everyone’s giving him very similar stuff to what you’re talking about I want to traded him some thing for a guitar that was given to me by the Rockefeller family while I lived in the north east
Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it sorry I’m just now seeing your comment I haven’t been getting comment notifications which is weird
I was watching a video on jtv I believe, where they were talking to this brazilian lady who imports amethyst cathedrals. She said that they need to be cast in some sort of concrete type mix to keep the amethyst together otherwise they break into pieces when they’re extracted. They paint over the concrete layer, so that’s why they have that funky black stuff on all of them.
The Amethyst geodes - cement are added on the back and base then painted black. So it can stand and display by itself. Also to protect and reinforce the crystal so matrix plate does not break easily. Or sometimes pieces are pieced together and cement together
Elvis Ng Thank you so much I have heard a few different reasons why is a paint amethyst Tell me it’s to keep it From falling apart Which makes a lot of sense
Sean C yeah they painted because a lot of times they Rough growing in the back to make it a little bit more smoother and since it’s so much more work to polish it after the granite they just paint it to make it look more attractive
21:05 "you can't not grab them all!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don't know if those were carved that way or if it was God making a dirty joke but either way... you know what they look like right?! 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve definitely heard that before someone told me that the paint they were using some kind of fiberglass in it and I have seen people in the past first lay down like a fiber glass cloth so I guess there’s a few reasons
The Orange pretending to be Citrine is Amethyst that is Radiated/heated, not just heated. It always seemed strange to me because I love purple over orange any day. My birth stone is Topaz but I prefer Amethyst or natural Crystal's of topaz.
Definitely I suspect that the only reason why these whatever you radiate the material is because they have so much amethyst they need some kind of variety
It’s never too late to have the store again you could do it in your own time and all online :) there are lots of online gemshow and all of them do well check out “ all about the rock ( no rules ) “ make sure to join the one that has 50,000 members since there are a bunch of fake groups On the group you can watch how folks do online shows and easily do them your self
Love this Tuscon rock show! Dave I have a technical question: I inherited an orange Italian marble table that has drink rings and other staining. What is best way specifically to clean it properly? Thankyou in advance!!
Hello there my friend if it’s marble definitely do not want to use vinegar or similar cleaning products unfortunately I don’t know much about Italian marble however I would reach out to You’re a local granite or a stone table people who can tell you more than me I’m sorry I can’t help more my friend but thank you so much for watching
thank you so much on the information about the green stuff outside of the amethyst but I know they paint them for a fact because I've watched them do itnot to say that some geodes don't have the black stuff on the outside but I have seen them paint the larger amethyst from Uruguay and Brazil right there at the gemshow another commenter suggested that perhaps it was a fiberglass paint that actually stabilizes the geode I'm not sure that sounds like a great idea but I have watched some dudes from Brazil paint the geodes black last year at the gem show thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it
Omg the whale at 34:08 amazing wonder how much something like that is? Do you recommend going if you’re just a collector not a seller or rock artist of any sort? Love this series for the gem show. I hope to maybe go one day.
I believe there is a list of all the Creator gem shows in the United States but I don't know where the list would be my friend it should be easily found online I'll take a look if I find anything good I'll send you a link
I don’t usually go there but I plan on going there this year I’m sure the show is going to happen especially since Tucson is going to happen regardless of the pandemic and a lot of people from quartzite go to Tucson
So much stuff so little time...haha...great quote Dave ( great video ) Dave in the begg of the video your filming Amethist boot the one whith the 50% reduction can you give me the name of these owners or web site im looking desperately for a good and reasonable seller that would shipp to Montreal Quebec Canada....? if you can Bro would be much apreciated....sending Love and friendship..Stay safe
Hello there my friend I’m just now seeing this message after about a year lol I will watch the video again and see if I can get the information for the vendor
I’m so torn on the titanium plating, because it *is* really neat looking, but there’s undoubtedly something much better that’s been covered up... actually, the titanium plating on those horses, penises and skulls seemed like perhaps the best application of the technique. I ended up with some quartz points with a titanium finish, and I’m considering slicing them up and polishing both surfaces so there’s just a thin rainbow rim around a mostly clear hexagon.
That’s a pretty cool idea working those titanium plated stones I have noticed that some of the titanium plating is done to less than desirable crystals stones that have a lot of fractures or that are already chipped up they could cover it up by the planting some other stones that aren’t even crystals but are Quatzie in nature they plate for their larger titanium plate it’s sculpture stuff like the penises and that horse which wouldn’t look good at all withoutthe plating which is why they have a lot of facets all of them from whoever
Dude, Rocky and Bullwinkle creeped me out too.... something about it didn't seem to belong with the rest of the cartoons.... It was probably made more for adults, maybe we would find it more entertaining now...
James Waggoner I was thinking the same thing that perhaps it was made for adults also I later found out that it was made in Canada I think which has a slightly different sense of humor I believe anyway thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it many more videos to come
bernardho xana I don’t know the name of the Booth but this is the pueblo gym and mineral show venue which is part of the Tucson gem and mineral show here in Tucson Arizona January and February
bernardho xana I cannot wait to visit Brazil I am very bad at Portuguese but I have been practicing I absolutely love Brazilian music I play the accordion and often play Brazilian forro music
bernardho xana No my friend I am in America my family is from Mexico but I believe they speak Portuguese in Brazil and I would like to learn before I go visit
Linda Connolly I will do my best to not Call them bad girls LOL thank you so much for the suggestion I actually thought about that myself there’s a few things in my vocabulary that I would like to change to better serve my vlogs Thank you so much for watching my friend I really appreciate it please consider subscribing if you haven’t done so already
Kelley Fawn Did you tell John yet? I don’t have John’s phone number but I assume the tapping my house too Thank you so much for watching my friend I really appreciate it
Isn’t natural citrine just crystal that has been naturally heated by the earth? So in saying that lab heated citrine is still citrine but just man made rather than fake.. 🤨 personally I don’t vibe with either lol 😂
I absolutely hate how they paint the outside of the geodes black , I don’t understand why they do it so ugly and stupid natural is so much more attractive. I also think the heat treated amethyst are freaking stupid as hell I would never buy one, natural is the way to go I hate treated crystals and I would never buy one. In my opinion polishing a crystal makes it worth less, I do not like them Sam I am. Great video
Mattatron Millerite The people that buy the large polished crystals in the heat treated amethyst by at 95% of the time because either they Do not know it is he treated or they plan on selling it to people that do not know it’s he treated or polished a large part of the reason why they paint the geodes black is because they actually shape the backs of the Geo to make them rounded they are often not rounded and they might be a lot more matrix then there is courts sometimes 10 times more matrix in court so they carve it into a shell like shape and they painted to hide the cuts in the grinding marks sometimes they take the time to polish the outside but I’m sure they have to charge more money for all that time that they take polishing it I appreciate you commenting and I really appreciate your passion and can definitely relate thank you so much my friend
