I totally agree…Holidome/Gem Mall really needs to be a longer show. Each year, we are there in Tucson for 11 days, and it is so hard scheduling each of your days, knocking-off the ones who end sooner. Geeze! Our trip here in 2024 was cut VERY short (3 days), with our daughter being hospitalized with lung blood clots back home in CA. We nearly lost her, just 40 years old with three children. Anyway, so looking forward for 2025. This was another great video, Dave.(BTW…is there address or phone number for messaging you? I am having a difficult time drilling with my Dremel. Would like your expertise help!)
Omg yay @10:43.. imagining making sandcastles with all the jewels 😍🙌🙏❤️💪 Ur my new favorite channel! This gem show coverage was stellar & I loved Milo Opals video, his opal hummingbird peice is so unique and awesome. Aww, In my dreams 😋🙌
43:36 - Apophyllite is actually a group of six minerals, none of which are zeolites. Apophyllite can be faceted, but it’s perfect cleavage makes it extremely difficult to cut; truly a collector stone.
I want to give you be like $100 or so to just send me some cool stuff you find at shows. Me living on the east coast I don't get to see these things. So what would be fair for you to spend $100 for me? I pay you a extra $50 for doing it or what?
That would be one far out last request, have your skeleton mounted in a case - holding your best cabochon against a grinding wheel! :D
Man I gotta go one of these years. I hope they are going to have a rock show in Cincinnati or Columbus Ohio
Preciosas gracias, so beautiful gems color..thank you, from Richmond VA
Dave you have a great eye for the coolest stuff, people included. Videos are getting more awesome all the time too.

Thank you for the great video. Do you remember the name of the vendor with the large chrome diopside beads, please?
Very nice!
What kind of Opal is that @0:44 I have one. I heard it's called water opal, but not sure and how much are they worth?
Water opals are not worth a lot but they sure are fun
What were you saying about some block of stone ? For sale? Dave have a shop ?
