I did not think I would be interested in looking at uncut gemstones until this video but now I totally want to learn and see more. How amazingly beautiful - thank you for sharing parts of your vacation with us.
Good find...the scarf..it is tooo cute!! Very impressed with the jems you showed us...WoW! Very interesting video, thanks to you and Michael for taking us along!!
What a wonderful road trip you both are taking!!! I love gemstones and actually believe they have healing powers. Thanks for showing parts of the Gem Show! My favourite is Blue Lace Agate! I have a beautiful BLA stone ring set in gold and when I get really stressed I wear it and rub the top of the stone. I really enjoy the direction you went with your channel:) You are no phoney baloney and that's what I like about you! Pretty,smart, what more can a girl want! Enjoy your trip! Reenee
Love your vlogs Christine. This one I really loved a lot. I love stones and precious gems..I couldn't believehow huge those gems were when you stood next to them..:)))
Great trip for us all!! Brings back so many memories for me. I have lived in AZ over 30 years and been to many of the places several times. Love them an great memories! :) So, in other words thank you for taking us along!!
I have been SO enjoying your travel vlog videos! I havent commented but I've been watching and loving them. I cant wait to see all the beautiful jewelry you guys make with those gorgeous stones xoxo
Thanks for taking us on vacation with you. I've enjoyed seeing the gems and the west side. I live on the east coast so it's so interesting to see the other side of the US!
Love the video, I skipped through it a bit two times, and each time i skipped to you say "we are going into starbucks" ..... lol i would be too, thanks for sharing this, very awesome, im going to go to quartzite one day, as well as tucson for the gemshow there
I would love to but since I just finished up "vlog december" I'm taking a break from the daily videos. BUT I've got tons of videos I'm super excited to do, so I'll still be posting frequently. ;D
I loved "going along" on your trip. Thank you for sharing! Watching you and Michael interact is so sweet, you both care for each other so much, it really shows. :)
Cactus abuse alert! lol I loved this video Christine...I have never seen so many gem stones...thank you thank you thank you for posting!! I am on the look out now for pyrite balls! xx
Oh haha, it's not all it's cracked up to be, their always getting in the way. I swear I run into tables and stuff with them all the time lol. ;) Btw I just checked out your channel, you should totally make more videos girl! Also is that your natural hair color? It's freaking gorgeous!!
Wow, looks like you're having and awesome trip! I love all the different things you do, just love the variety on your channel. After taking a few geology classes, I've come to love rocks and mountains and such, but you know way more about them than I do, really cool.
*oops my greyhound likes to jump on my tablet*... This brought back memories of so-called rock experts and people who we chuckled at who thought they knew so much about rocks. Such a crack up video!!!!! You guys also make me chuckle. If you think I'm exaggerating just talk to the hodkin's.
In Australia where there are really wide roads in country towns it's because they were the width that it took to turn a bullock team in the old days. Of course I love Australian bolder opal too, the brown even with a little bit of color shining through is beautiful.
Love the pink houndstooth! What Fun you guys! We went to the Tucson show a few years ago and hubby was into meteorites then. Now he's making tables out of oliveine, jade, granite (that has opalescent sections) and a clamshell fossilized rock. I'll have to put them in a video for you to see. Bet you guys will make some gorg jewelry when you get home! How on earth do the vendors get those huge rocks hauled?! So glad you're having a great time. Can't wait to see what you make w/ new gems! Love, S
I have to say, I love your videos and your day in the life videos and I love to see Hawaii but the dessert looks HORRENDOUS!!!! Despite the snow and -15F weather this last week, I wouldn't trade it for that wasteland! :) Having said that, great video! I had a rock tumbler as a teenager and this made me want to renew my interest. How beautiful. Nature's art is just stunning.
I love rocks since childhood but not as deeply as u do .. I don't know nothing about them but there was a shop on the way to my school I remember going in and just look at them..now that I think back I'm pretty impressed they didn't chuck a kid out of their store lol.loved this vid !
I purchased a Larimar pendant while in the Dominican Republic! It is such a beautiful stone, I just couldn't leave without it:) I could spend all day at a place like that!!
Typically at home I avoid dairy, but when we go on trips I'm pretty carefree with food and basically eat whatever I want, except meat of course since we're vegetarian. :)
My fiance's dad and his wife always take off to Arizona for about half the year to escape the Canadian winters :-) They love it there so much! It's cool to see your footage of it because I've never been there.
I love the opals too!! We have a local gem/mineral show we like going to as well. My god mother (who has sinced past away) designed custom made jewlery. We always had a blast together. She made some of the most beautiful bracelets and redesigned some of my necklaces, as well as made new ones. She would mix turqoise & coral strung on tiger tail with silver beads & fines. Side note: I noticed that your mani held up well. If it were mine it would have chipped by the first day. Thx again! :-)
WOW amazing stones! I have never been to a place like this before. maybe I would have "passed it by" thinking since I'm not the jewelry kind of person (sometimes wear a necklace not more) that it won't apply to me. but seeing all these! AMAZING.
Cute scarf and great vids! Love Michael's laugh. My grandma lives in Palm Springs year round now and never wants to leave.;) C-you should start rocking summer dresses! Would look fab.
Thanks for sharing - amazing & mesmerizing minerals =)))) & I wanted to say - at some minute watching this video I could actually fell how, you guys, really love-love-love each other =))))) It was so sweet & deep - I wish you love forever & ever (how childish it sounds, but I truly believe, that you can make it ;)))))) So nice couple - I adore you =)
My little girl loves rocks. She's always collecting them everywhere we go lol she likes to paint them & leave them natural. She is also very artistic at her young age of 6. Which is impressive as I'm not lol I shared this video with her & she loved it! She wants to go to a show lol I have showed her your jewelry as well. I wanted her to see she can make gem stones (rocks to her right now) that she can make them into beautiful things someday with her talent if she chooses too. You're an inspiration thank you :-)
hi Christine, new follower here and i love your video, your voice is so relaxing, and you guys are such a positive persons, i can watch you for an hour. My fav are work n daily vlog also this tucson journey..love love it.I hope someday you can make video bout your business too, it will be super interesting.
I agree! We love Indian food! Trader Joe's hasn't come to Hawaii yet. Bummer because they would kill it here, even if they had to raise their prices a bit to cover shipping.
The nachos almost looked like Navajo taco but it wasn't. I love Starbucks and I am glad you incorporated that into your travels. I live in Northern Arizona but we have traveled hrough the area you did to get to Los Angeles.
what a fun vacation, thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you so much! Great, I've got more videos on healthy eating tips coming soon! xoxo

The water helps to show the stone's true beauty and color, basically how it will look once it's been polished.

Snowbirds! I used to live in Lake Havasu and remember people coming down in their motor homes from the cold north. Good times.
arizona is such a gorgeous state!!

I have a necklace and earring set made with boulder opals and they are amazing. I love the color.
Loved it, thanks for sharing
I love your houndstooth scarf! I have a black and white one and love it, but would love to have a pink one too.

My fav are work n daily vlog also this tucson journey..love love it.I hope someday you can make video bout your business too, it will be super interesting.
I would love to go to that gem show, it looked awesome! :O)
You should make more, i love these, they make me feel like I'm on vacation ! :)
its incredible to see you were here i live in Blythe about 20 miles from Quartzite
I rate your video a 10.Thanks I learn a lot!
I agree! We love Indian food! Trader Joe's hasn't come to Hawaii yet. Bummer because they would kill it here, even if they had to raise their prices a bit to cover shipping.
The opals were so pretty! And I love Indian food. Yummy!
Wow amazing i love stone : )
awesome stones!! great for jewelry making :D
I am so jealous. I will make it out there one year. I love gems! :)
Take a road trip to Drumheller, Alberta. Visit the Museum and the shops, you will find tons of gorgeous native ammonites and other fossils.
Omg I bet your week was amazing!
I'm taking a geology class right now at uni and I so enjoyed seeing you dig through all those minerals :)
I'm not vegan, just vegetarian but typically at home I avoid dairy as much as possible. Then on trips I treat myself.
The nachos almost looked like Navajo taco but it wasn't. I love Starbucks and I am glad you incorporated that into your travels. I live in Northern Arizona but we have traveled hrough the area you did to get to Los Angeles.
The 8 year old me would have died of happiness if i could have gone to a show like that! Looks like a lot of fun
Wow, really enjoyed the rock shows, I wish I was there. Are they there all the time or once in a while? How we can find these kind of markets?
