Hi, I'm Brazilian and every year the Teofilo Otoni International Precious Stone Fair takes place in July. Considered one of the biggest fairs in the world, it's worth visiting. Brazil has different types of gems and at this fair we can see the most different and valuable ones. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you. Glad to know that there is still an annual gem show in Teofilo Otoni. I spoke with two Brazilian vendors in Tucson this year, and they both confirmed that no, Teofilo Otoni is no where near the size of the Tucson shows, but it is a good show to attend. I hope to be able to get to Teofilo Otoni to see the show again sometime soon.
Great! Hope you enjoy cutting them. I plan on offering another batch of some kind of gemstones as basically 'give away' prices, probably later in this year so stay tuned. I will probably have to limit purchases to one bag per cutter or something like that so I don't sell out the first day. 🙂
Great video as always! I love how you always have so much extra information about all things related to faceting, it really helps me as a new comer to the faceting scene!
Mvto brotha do much love for you and all you do I mean that. On every level too. I believe in you Dave and greatness awaits you. I truly hope we cross paths soon would love to colab with you. I'm a gem cutter/lapidary, prospector, jeweler, and musician out here trying to push the veil feel me. Pushing what's possible to show the beauty hidden within Mother Earth and the universe. Feel your energy and know we could do something amazing got to say. Oh and much love to Virgil sounds just like my brother that passed... We was the two lone Lenni Lenape Mohicans up here in Ohio tryna change the game and make the creator proud right. May be here in my people's original land but New Mexico had always had a tire to my spirit I can't explain planning to come back and live here soon so maybe then we can link. Gotta get the great out and jam up behind the Arch in El Mapais(don't know if you been but if not, the acoustics of the mother there are more powerful than anywhere I been in the world... No words), it would be legendary and get the cameras going to for beyond world class content right! Anyways was on my heart to say after watching this, but yeah much love to you brother and to aunty Lin too. Osiyo✋🏾🪶🌌
Its a shame post is so much! I went to buy some findings from the USA and was shocked at the price so understand why you can't post to Australia. I'd have bought a few bags. Maybe next time. I've only just recently bought a faceting machine and spending all my evenings cutting.
Yes, the cost of shipping outside of the USA is much more than I am selling a bag of this Amethyst for. I wish I could have made this offer to any cutter, even outside the USA!
Looks like I miscommunicated things to you in the video when I send to send me a private message (PM) to my Facebook (Mike Sackos). I understand that may not have been clear to many who may not be familiar with facebook. What I meant was that if you want to discuss the Amethyst, go into Facebook, find me as a user in FB under Mike Sackos, and send me a message. That is what a Private Message means. I can assure you I have responded to all the PMs I received...and many of the cutters who received the Amethyst are very very happy with the Amethyst.

Thank you.
Are the stones still available?
Sorry, but they sold out just after the video was posted. Stay tuned as later this year I plan on putting together another super deal
I started cutting gems this year in april and just talked with a friend about picking up some good amethyst. I would like to pick some up please.
To buy this Amethyst, one had to contact me on FB. I just saw your note here on UA-cam. YT is not the best method to communicate.
Yes, this year was the XXXIII Precious Stone International - FIPP 2023
I hope that I can get back to visit the show in Brazil again one day. Maybe in 2024.

Pm sent. And happy new years 🎉
Happy New Year to you also.
Love the beautiful gems sent you an email
Thanks! I hope that by an 'email' you meant that you contacted me on Facebook.
I have sent message, but received no response.

That is what I did on your personal page.

I see it now thank you. @@BOPIESDiamondsFineJewelry
Those dops also look like Facetron dops. Which I can sometimes use on my old American Faceter Machine.
They probably are. I don't know if they were for the Facetron or GemMaster...but they work in the Ultra Tec also.
I sent you PM
Then you received a response from me. Correct?
Yes, and thank you for the response and good deal.
