I must admit I'm shocked you've not had one already but I'm sure you do quite well with your opal auctions gig so that it's not really a necessity to travel across an ocean and two continents in order to sell your material but still I'd love to see your collection if a video like that might be possible 😉
We all do it because we love it, but still, thanks for taking us to the gem shows Dave. I really enjoyed the Tucson videos, it’s interesting to see how Australian opal is being marketed over there, matrix opal seems to have jumped in price. I like the way you let people talk uninterrupted, you’ve got a great interview style that comes across as a friendly chat worth listening to. Cheers. 🤪👍
Milo, Derrick and Nick were just the most amazing people to get to know! Milo had the kindest heart 🩵 I just want to buy everything he had! This was one of the greatest videos Dave! I was just soaking up all that knowledge and eye candy! I wish so badly I could learn from Derrick in an actual class- I’d love to be able to facet, silversmith and make cabs. Those opals were just out of this world! Did you get a necklace?
I really enjoy these excellent videos..I want to marry the older gentleman from Milos..what a Sweetheart. Thanks for doing all You do to promote these fabulous Gem People. God Bless all Your Efforts.
I’m pulling my hair out. Those drilled boulder opal pieces going for $200-$600 are the same material that I used to get for $50-$100 for a 10 pound bag. I didn’t drill them, but I gave them a little polish and/or hit with opticon and pretty much just gave them away. I did save about 30-40 pieces, but had I known…
hey dave or viewers, i swear it was a recent gem show vid where some one was showing how to burns off the fibers on a cloth polishing wheel? does anyone know which vid?
