Rona scares a lot of ppl but more than anything besides the hobbyist and the small time collector most of the people at gemshows are foreigners both vending and buying stuff they can’t get in their country From what I was able to tell the last two years most of the vendors are having a hard time getting into the country because of Rona and what their countries will and will not allow them to do such as traveling or bring back things in bulk
@@lapidarydave good information. There seems to be fears still. My family has just traveled to Hawaii and they were beyond and level of separation that we've seen in the midwest. So many people in freak out mode.
Hi! What's the best location to exhibit high quality emeralds, sapphires, Diaspore and jewelry at JUGs? I'm sure there is a special selection for the more expensive gemstones. I'd appreciate some info. Thanks
@@lapidarydave Oops, yes! JOGS . I'm afraid to waste my time and money trying to make sells at the wrong place. I just started my business and everything as far as exhibition goes is new to me. Thanks a million!
@@lapidarydave Never been. This would be my first time. I've only attended one trade show, The Munich Gems and Minerals show and that was definitely the wrong show for the type of gemstones I deal with though I now have tourmaline specimens and the like. So, I'm trying to find out where I should exhibit during the Tucson Show since there are multiple locations. I have a newly discovered type of Diaspore (Zultanite) that I'd like to showcase. I can see from your videos that you know your way around many exhibition hubs and that's why I'm reaching out to you. I'd love to meet you there, by the way.
@@PointmanOps I would suggest either the 22nd St. show or the holo dome/gem mall both are a higher budget show where is the more precious materials than others I personally do not like jogs as a little oversaturated however even though I do suggest as to places I would say more than anything that you should go to the show one year before selling to really find the place yourself I can’t stress enough that I really think you should go before you try to sell for your first time take this year to do some research when you’re there and then do the show the year after that
@@lapidarydave I Dave I'm Chris from Tampa Bay Florida and for the past six years I've been doing my own research on the Oligocene of Florida's ancient coast line and my discoveries that I found will amaze the world when I decide to break the news . contact me for further information.
@@cwenterprizewells1104 very interesting email me at davijjgarcia89@gmail.com i’m very interested to hear what you are talking about I am from Florida myself I love Tampa I have a lot of family there but I grew up on the treasure coast of the Indian river
@@lapidarydave yes and thank you for listening tomorrow I will email you and set up a meeting for us you need to see this in person I can't trust social media
Unfortunately not this video was shot in September around the second or third week of September is your last for two weeks and is the second in the United States the first largest in the whole world and the largest in the United States is in Tucson in January and February
Hello, Thank you for the nice videos and informative commentary. Please can you suggest an eBay seller that sells such wide selection of cabochons ? I hope anybody can help me, thank you.
Just to be correct. Chrome chalcedony is colored by the trace element Chrome. Chrysoprase is colored by the trace element Nickle. They are different and should be called properly. You may want to correct your video. Tanzania, and Australia are the big producers of Chrysoprase. Zimbabwe is the big producer of Chrome Chalcedony.
Hey Dave a couple of months ago you had a contest that I thought I had won and you were supposed to check your comments and you said you were going to send me something when you found the comment,and to this day I have never received anything from you.
I'm thinking the reason most people don't want to buy Chinese is most likely the labor force used to mine it or the assumption that young kids are used to mine it....
That’s something you definitely hear in the industry quite often still to this day but for me it’s the terrible working conditions and abuse that really bothers me
@@lapidarydave you are absolutely correct they use some of the most horrific mining processes. Other countries are just as bad if not worse but most people are ok with that as long as they are mining super precious minerals.
Aww so nice you recognised each other!
Awesome cabs! I’m a wire wrapper (also learning lapidary) and want to go next year!
You have to my friend you will save so much money
I'll become crazy in a stand like that 😂
This vendor is one of my all time favorites
Thank you 😊
Love the video, 2022 I’ll be ready to buy from a show , i hope 🤞
Thank you for watching
HEY DAVE!
Yalll ROCK!
Thanks my friend you rock too :)
Perfect isn't always good.
Anyway to order from you?
Where is everyone thought there would be more people there I'm amazed what happened to the gem industry

So if it's $.90 a gram how much would one of the typical cabs cost. I want one of each.😍
красота какая!

You have a Black Flag tattoo, too?

@@lapidarydave I saw them and other SST bands a lot in the early to mid 80s. It was a great time.
@@icatz I can only imagine :) the good ol days
How much were the jadeite bangles?
I’m not exactly sure but I put his information in this video feel free to give them a call

Estimados, mucho agradeceré me digan si tienen una tienda de sus productos en Calgary, Alberta Canada o de qué manera podemos adquirirlos. Gracias
I’m sorry my phone only work in the USA feel free to come to America the show is open to the public
Really nice cabs. Often you passed by some that I wanted to see, I guess there was just too much to show? Was that Jade dyed?
Jade was not dyed

Hey Dave, I gotta talk to you about some opals I saw on your videos. :)
Feel free to message me on Instagram via #Lapidarydave or email me davijjgarcia89@gmail.com
Do Bennette gems have online shop ? I want to buy
I don’t really know but the phone number is in the video you could call them and ask
I guess I missed this one
lol.. as you walked away, those jade tusks looked like a tray of three bean salad. ...just sayin!
Than'x Dave, I'm learning so much from you.
I should have bought some 😭😭😭 lol thanks for watching my friend
I wish you would have been able to link his store .
561-350-7502 is the phone number I don’t know if they do phone or online sales though
How many grams are in each cab??
Different pieces different sizes But almost every vendor has a scale that one could use
@@lapidarydave Could you give us an approx. rough average of how many grams per cab? Ie for chyroprase?
@@jameswelch1054 it’s impossible but if I had to tell you something then how about between 3g-50g
Is the show still going on?
Unfortunately not this video was shot in September around the second or third week of September is your last for two weeks and is the second in the United States the first largest in the whole world and the largest in the United States is in Tucson in January and February
That blue cab looks like trolleite to me .
Interesting I will check it out :)
interesting stuff. a while back you had a water jacket on a drill press bit, where did you find it?
Water jacket on a drill press I’m sorry I don’t know what you are talking about when you say water jacket
@@lapidarydave it was a devise on the bit that water flowed through to cool diamond bit while drilling holes in stone.
@@cameronstouffer9471 it’s called the “Gunther multi drilling system”
@@lapidarydave thanks dave, thats what i was looking for
Hello,
Thank you for the nice videos and informative commentary.
Please can you suggest an eBay seller that sells such wide selection of cabochons ?
I hope anybody can help me, thank you.
Unfortunately I don’t shop for gemstone on eBay and I do not know any Reputable dealers

Sorry I’ve been dealing with a loss in the family and was out of town for the giveaway
Do your remember what it was you won
@@lapidarydave No you just said you were going to send me something because you said you missed my comment that won
