That’s pretty cool I always knew it turquoise was but didn’t learn to appreciate it until I was in my 20s and I lived in the southwest it’s a very special stone
@@lapidarydave if I make to the Winter Show in January, I'll definitely get some, too if you have some. Especially the type he showed you at 14:30. Just mind blowing. If he ever comes to the Munich show, I'll have my friends join me and we'll raid his booth. 😂.. My gf loves her Turquoise ring. I was told the Turquoise comes from Iran, but I don't have those expertise to know better. Anyway, I'm sure she'd love a pendant to go with it. 🙂 I love that you leave the vendor's contact information. That always comes handy. Much appreciated.
@@PointmanOps that’s awesome my friend I don’t know if he’s gonna go to Munich but I know he would mail you material to whoever you are in the world Leaving the information for the vendors is what I love doing the most helps the vendors and it helps the viewers I think it’s what makes my videos different
30:23 It is the turquoise from Kerman which is mined from copper mines. Even though it is from Iran but it is not the turquoise which was historically known as Persian turquoise which is from Neishabour (spelled in different ways). The Kerman turquoise has only been mined relatively recently and almost always is stabilized, while the Neishabour mine is estimated to be mined since 5000-7000 years ago. The Neishabouri turquoise the majority of the time isnt stabilised because its a hard turquoise and the majority of time comes in a thin layer in bedrock. The Neishabouri turquoise comes in a wide range of colours, literally from white (I know some people think real white doesnt exist but I have seen Persian white turquoise) to yellow, caramel, all types of green to any kind of blue to very dark blue and even rare purple and brown. The Kermani turquoise is usually only dark blue or dark green and has lots of pyrites but Neishabouri turquoise rarely has pyrite. The info about Persian turquoise is very limited and mostly wrong information about it in the US. Iran has 3 main turquoise mines, Neishabour, Damghan and Kerman. In Iran stabilized turquoise has a fraction of the value of the natural stone. Natural unharmed turquoise is referred to as "living stone" and stabilized and oiled stones are referred to as dead. I import and sell turquoise stone and jewellery from Iran.
Wow my friend that is incredible information 🌟 ❤️ I really appreciate you taking the time to share such awesome info I absolutely LOVE Persian turquoise
This explains what I mentioned above in my comment (reply). The Turquoise/gold ring I got my gf in Dubai is pretty much all blue without a speckle of pyrite. The underbelly is still rough. The Turquoise stone on that ring may have indeed come from Iran. As I was watching Dave's vid, I couldn't help to wonder why her Turquoise ring has no pyrite! 😂 Thanks for the info! 👍
@@PointmanOps The type of stone you described is called "Ajami" (the type without matrix on the surface) and most likely is from Neishabour mine. Its the most valuable type. Usually sky blue or light blue (Darker blue is more valuable) and on the back of the stone, there is a matrix or at least a patch of it.
Just found the video you pointed me to on your live about Anderson Stone, hopefully I can get myself some nice deals to play with. Thanks a million again Dave 🤙🏼🍀
@@lapidarydave you're awesome, in that one short live last night I learned heaps more I never knew watchin most of videos, the squeeze box playing of course,that was legendary 🤙🏼 and of your course your gran mother, she sounds amazing by the way! I'm just starting out in my lapidary journey so always on the look out for cheap rock to play with and then use in my pieces that I make..So you're the man for pointing me in the right direction 🙏
@@lapidarydave man you're awesome, I appreciate that so much 🤙🏼.. this was very informative too, I would never have known that much about the stabilization and the process. Now I know exactly what I need and want.. really hope he has some 1dollar a grm stuff left though 😬haha.. Good chatting earlier and I appreciate that offer if iv any questions in the future I will certainly hit you up, staying rocking my friend 🤜🤛
Hey there Fine Sir. Smoking show yet again. I’m sure you already know this but I have to say it too. Your a inspiration and a motivation to me and all of us here at RealRock Solutions. We’ll see you on the other side of the Mountain.
Do you are absolutely YG nice I really appreciate your kindness comes at a good time I’ve been suffering with depression a bit and I’ve been having a hard time making these videos anyway thank you so much again I really appreciate you
@@lapidarydave Holy cow I was going on and just chatting away and then the phone is like 1% from dying and I didn’t get the spellcheck or anything so if it goes off some crazy tangent sometimes it’s Siri who says whatever she wants to. The whole gist of everything else there’s a reason why right now today we have finally connected and talked so you can email me and either one of those emails And then we can go from there I can tell you what is going on and what solution prison of itself and there’s absolutely no reason that it wouldn’t work for you along with 100 million other people.
Love this material, and see it as a challenge to cut and polish natural turquoise. Another stone that I love is desert bloom variesite. Wish I could post a pic of the piece I have in front of me in the comments.😁 Keep it up with the awesome videos, love it.👍
I know what you mean I wish they would let us post pictures on here as well if you’d like to send me a picture of that Desert Bloom I would absolutely love to see it you can send it to my Instagram or Facebook via #lapidarydave Also thank you so much for joining me on the live video the other day I really appreciated your company you’re awesome brother
McKay I went out and got a 4X4 truck to go rock hounding and I have no Idea where to go!! We live in Las Vegas, Nevada and would love to get out of the city and go rock hounding. Can you help me? By the way you do awesome work and I do tumble my own stone and wire work. Darlene with Joy's Jewelry
Slot of mines claims and pay digs have closed unfortunately royston is still affordable at this moment but since they closed expect the price to skyrocket :(
Never! Just kidding :) Gloves are actually dangerous to wear gloves when using some equipment this machine cannot really hurt anybody how do use is diamond inside of resin and can only follow your fingernails not flush I appreciate your concern though my friend and thank you so much for watching
Without a doubt, Mckay Anderson, is my favorite rock vendor. Apache Gem especialy!!!
He’s one of my favorites for sure he’s also super nice guy
Very nice and beautiful material. I love it. 👌👌👍👍
Those are so beautiful. Turquoise had always fascinated me since childhood. Even my favorite crayon color is turquoise.
That’s pretty cool I always knew it turquoise was but didn’t learn to appreciate it until I was in my 20s and I lived in the southwest it’s a very special stone
Can't believe how beautiful they look after they are polished. Turquoise is one of my favorite stones. Just amazing! 👌💯
Me too some of my all time favorite stones :) I’m going to buy some Morenci next time I see mckay
It's part of my ancestors culture until the Spanish and Europeans made us hide who we are 🌞

Loved the video. I looked up the Royston Mine and they no longer offer mine digs, now I'm sad.
Slot of mines claims and pay digs have closed unfortunately royston is still affordable at this moment but since they closed expect the price to skyrocket :(
Are you still selling the stabilized turquoise from China??
Let me know
Let me know I would like to purchase some
Good video
Thank you
