I love these videos they help me get through these brutal winters.
Thank you for your super kindness I want to mail you some material as a gift :)
@@lapidarydave Aww that's very sweet of you! but how about you pay it forward, give it to someone who's down on their luck or just needs to feel loved. :)
Everyone is talking about the Opals, but man, I fell in love with those owls! 😂
I loved those chrysoprase owls and elephants tooooo!
Ok, I couldn’t help but think that sweet little 🐞 lady bug that was coming along for the ride with all the opals at 9:25 was so adorable 🥰
Nothing is more mouth-watering than opal.
Yay! Opals - my favorite! Yowza!!!
OPAL is OUR BLAM!
ya ROCK Dave!
I love opal so much
So bummed when I click the notification for a new lapidary dave video and it has been taken down. Please leave them up for a little while. Thanks man!
We went to the Quarzite show this year for the first time. What fun! I want to learn how to drill my own stones. Thanks for the videos.
that’s awesome my friend i have a few videos on how to drill stones you should check them out
Beautiful 🤟🏻❤️
That opal you picked up at 11:00 was the "Belle of the Ball." I would of picked that one for sure! The black host around it made it looks surprisingly like a black opal. It even looked more stable and less jelly and hydrophane than the others somehow. Hope your Quartzsite is going well for you.
I just went back and looked at it thanks to your timestamp it was pretty awesome I might go pick that up if it’s still there when I head back on Sunday
I've been waiting for the Opal vid. Love these gem shows 👍
I promise to make a better one where I’m actually talking to some of the minors and manufacturers as soon as I get to Tucson I turn on chatting with an S opal which is the gentleman Adam who gave Pulitzer the stones in his latest video
Was at Quartzsite on the 13th, love that place! Check out the giant rock pile @ 50 cent a pound at the back end of aisle #1. I picked so much raw material, I’ll be cutting and cabbing for the next two years, spent 4 hrs digging on that pile LOL
Holy smokes I’m going to have to check that out we’re is it my friend ? Is it at powwow show? I gotta get some of that material 😭❤️
It would be about 3500.00 for 10lbds at .75 cents a gram of opal jar. Very good value.
Lindas perfeitas 👏
Good show. You sure do travel to many shows. Thanks for the videos. I go to some shows but haven't taken any videos of them.
thanks for the advice my friend:) you should film next time you are at a show :)
@@lapidarydave Thanks, I will do that. I usually look for machines and parts more than rocks at the shows. Do you remember we talked at the Stoddard Wells show? I was there on Saturday while you were setting up the cabbing machine. I was looking for used cabbing wheels.
@@arthurtamayo6522 oh yea i do remember my friend
Hi Sunny!
One is a total waste of money, one is for fun, one is an investment. Its up to you to decide.
Fast nickle is better than a slow dime.
Great video. Thanks
I love all with that kind of soul, you saved a tiny life ❣ Good karma😻
Thanks my friend I felt bad I don’t think it would have got out of the water by itself
thank you for sharing
My pleasure
Awesome video Dave!
Thank you so much for watching my friend
Awesome 😁
The weight was marked on the lid of the jars.
I Love To Buy Some Blue Topaz Gemstones And Blue Sapphire Gemstones.
Theres 2 types Ethiopian opal. You do not want to soak Enhydro Ethiopian opal in water. They can/ do crack craze easily when they dry out. Here's the rub; you need very specialized eqpt to tell the diff. So assume its all enhydro.
Thanks again for another great vid.
I’ve heard about this before in the past I really appreciate you breaking it down for me my friend I know there’s probably some kind of catch when They sell you it in a small bag with water a gentleman Bought a couple pieces yesterday and he’s paying me to cut it im excited to see what will happen I’ll be very careful luckily I do not have to saw it
@@lapidarydave Sory I probably sound like a broken record. More for the ppl who watch & don't know.
Keep up good vids. I watch while working. Keeps me company.
@@roberttyrrell2250 You don’t sound like a broken record me I really appreciate the info it’s totally educational and I welcome it anytime
@@lapidarydave I specialize more in crystal minerals cut & polish. Treatments, synthetics. Tanzanite emerald sapphire etc so if I can be of any help just ask. Youre far more knowledgable on morphic rocks. Its a Good learning session for me.
A bad surprise is when you learn the outside rehydrating is swelling faster than the middle can hold together and pop there is a crack. I think that ends at some point due to just size. I say opals are stable to the size they crack down to out in the desert. Honest opal is honest opal.
I want the first small jar out pick up.
Look for Tea fire agates booth.
Hello Tamworth Australia 🇳🇿👍
Howdy there my friend
Ladybug brings good luck 🍀
really? that’s awesome i need all the luck i can get
Hello from Oceanside CA
Howdy Julie
👍❤️✌️
I try too google some of the vendors. Not getting much for "Stan the opal man". For those of us who can't get to Tuscon I'd buy if they have a web store.
Trying to build a lap machine. Have 5/8 x 30" stainless mandrel shaft w bearings on order. Just $69 bucks !
Awesome my friend good luck on your bills I would love to see photos when you get it running I did manage to get the information for Stanley opal man I’ll give you his phone number here in the common section it is 970-260-8259
@@lapidarydave Oh cool. I ran into another lap channel " Too many projects". She made her own lap. Good vid for on the cheap lapidary.
I'm really excited. Would love to cut opal. She said to start w Lapis & turquoise before opal.
Deff keep his #.
I did buy some rough shewa chocolate Ethiopian. I hope its stabilized.
The show guides usually have their web addresses if not an email
@@roberttyrrell2250 I leave the rhyolite rind on my Shewa to hold it together. Did you know a geologist from Reno made the initial development with the local tribe? After he was shot & the Shewa was cracky, the sellers moved over to Wolo material.
@@ResortDog That would be a good way to keep it. They were cabbing it. The Ethiopian Gov't got involved & removed its sale. Its very unstable cracks, crazes unmercifully. Large Dealers brokers were Pissed. They bought killo's to have it disintegrate.
They have come up w a stabilization process. Its why you're seeing it back on the market. The process is still a "trade secret".
I bought 6 cabs in 2010 all but one fell apart. A nice 4ct chocolate brown honeycomb . Had it 6 yrs. Finally set it 14k for (my now ex) wife. Stunning ring.
Pretty sure she pawned it.
I was told what I ordered was treated & stabilized. Some smalls. If its ok I'll buy larger pcs. I'll check the bark, have a look see under my AM scope.🤞🤞
Did the Mexican fire opals have a Web site?
They did not but I will share a vendor that does sell online when I get to Tucson
cerium oxide discolors Ethiopian. And since they are in water they will soak it up. Its funny that vendor said after it was said do you use... he really didn't have a clue.
Fantastic information! Thanks so much I would have never known :) ❤️🔥🪕
I have crushed so many !
What was the name of the Australian opal, the Coober-Lighting Ridge guy from the very start of the video?
dan the opal man you can find him in quartzite or ask around he’s famous lol
Anyone know where this show is? I tried to find it online and it keeps saying that it is not in Tucson but closer to Yuma.
It was in quartzite This particular vendor is not Courtade anymore that show was earlier this month These vendors are at the 22nd St., Show in Tucson now
Will Stan be at Tucson this year?
I don’t think he will unfortunately
@@lapidarydave thank you brother I am watching you now at 22nd st you rock I have been a lapidary for 35 years I carve fire agate and love opal. Keep up the good work. I will send you some photos.
@@jsrocks2gems138 awesome I look forward to it
Hello,could I ask you where is held this show my mean place of show?
Quartzsite Arizona in the United States
Why is it called water opal?
Does stan the opal man have a website with those prices?
beats me 🤷🏽♂️ i seriously doubt it unfortunately
Quick question do the people selling the Mexican opal sell online? I can't travel but really love cutting Mexican opal it's my second favorite opal to cut.
Hello there my friend this particular vendor does not have any cards and I don’t believe they sell online however a lot of Mexican awful dealers do sell online I will be sharing that information when I find a vendor that will in Tucson the prices are just about the same if not more affordable there as well :)
@@lapidarydave Thank you for the fast reply.
@@luisgomez385 of course my friend
Cats hang out when they aren’t hunting or mating. Lions are a “pack” or Pride.
Wat up Dave how are You Buddy, how can I hold of You.
🤗
where is the tucson ?
This is at quartzite AZ
@@lapidarydave please check you Instagram mesenger
It's where the West was Wild. You know, Tombstone Arizona? Gunfight at the Ok Corral? It's pretty far from the Swiss Alps.
Where is this place? I'd love to be there.
Quartzite Arizona
Black petrified wood, Quartzite Opal?
i don’t know my friend 🤷🏽♂️
I'll give a good home in my fishtank to any colorful opal that cant be cut..... lol have a couple of honduran in there already.
🐟 🐠 🎣 ❤️❤️❤️
Brother Dave...... Don't touch the Welo after touching the water Opal with wet hands. You know how Welo reacts to water lol. Dry those hands before handling the Welo Opal lol!!!! You're making the color disappear / causing cracking to the Welo. * Mike from Roys Rocks group waves *
Very interesting I will make sure not to do that in that future I deeply appreciate you sharing that info
@@lapidarydave I figured you knew that from watching Roy or Pulitzer Opal etc. No worries homie. Looking forward to this show season myself once it starts back up in March here in the Cleveland area. Be my 6th year attending my local gem and mineral shows.

Here's Roy's video of him cutting some honeycomb water Opal I sent him for the channel. He also has some Welo videos, one of material I sent him. All from my local shows. Thanks to you as well for giving me some show skills these last few years watching your videos. Also sent Roy some Fire Agate to mess with on the channel from Fire Agate Mark. Has a few cool videos of the fire Agate as well. Check out Roys Rocks channel further, always mention you to Roy. Figured you would be interested in seeing some cut since you asked the people at the booth.
@@DarkenShroud will do my friend thank you so much for the tips my friend :)
if it's 6 lbs its about $2100
Let’s go in on it :) $100 each we split it
Ơ dau
How about grabbing and posting Stan’s phone number
