- in this video I share with you folks one of my favorite venues during TG&MS the miners Co-op this is a great show for buying rough and slabs as well as for buying finished cabs nd jewelry but most of all its my favorite place to buy used equipment in the USA this year I had the honor of chatting with a few vendors during the show that were kind enough to share some knowledge and show off their material
FUN FACT I almost chopped off my pointer finger with my drone while filming the intro arieal shots when it my hand hit the drone from being careless
“I hope one day I calcify and turn into an opal” said Dave! 😆😆😆. Made me laugh! Only a true rock hound would say that 💎💎💎
You've just opened my eyes to the beauty of gems and minerals... I've seen some before, but not to this degree. I would go broke at this place, I love so many of the pieces I've seen here
Gimp Geek I usually do go broke but this year I’m so poor I can’t pay attention lol thank you so much for watching and it’s a blessing to hear that I opened ur eyes to the scene it’s a good money to be made in jewelry and stones also it’s fun to collect
Dave, Thanks! I could watch that stuff for hours.
Lon Yarbrough Thank you so much for watching my friend I really appreciate it if you think he a friends and family that would appreciate it feel free to share if you haven’t done so already please consider subscribing it really helps to chill I have a new video coming out very soon with some world-class museum quality specimens it should be available in a few minutes here on CZcams thanks again for watching my friend I really appreciate it
Second video I've seen , new sub. I would lose my mind at that show. Every thing is so beautiful. IWANT IT ALL !! Hope you get lots of treasures.
Diane Green thanks so much for the sub it’s really a blessing and means a lot to me :) I go broke every year and try to make the money back from what I make from what I buy Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but it’s always a great time you got to come down some year my friend
Love the videos
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see such an amazing crystal collections!!! Greetings from Greece :)
Spirit Art Store Thank you so much my friend for watching I really appreciate it I would love to visit you in Greece sometime and if you ever come to America let me know I will show you around
@@lapidarydave it's my dream to come there and I hope so one day 🙏 Thank you ☺
Thanks Dave, I love to see what's happening at the Tucson Show when I can't make it out there, and I love that you show the dealers card/info at the booths for those who cant ever make it there.
ro van damme Definitely it’s what I think makes my channel little bit different than the other people Filming the same show :) I’m definitely going to be in Tucson this year and it’s going to be worth filming for sure it’s gonna be a really odd year a lot of people I know are moving around to different venues and a lot of venues are 90% foreign folks so I really wonder how it’s going to work out
You opened me into a new world ❤
Thank you for saying so I really appreciate you watching
I so wish I could buy from the Miner's Co-op this year. I DEFIANTLY need to find a source for buying some Nevada Rose, it's beautiful!
Sooo many of these slices you are showing I want 💜💜
Mrs. Ox me toooo!
Just found this channel, nice! Loved the slabs at the beginning!
The Arkansas Diamond Miner It’s really my blessing thank you so much for watching if you feel like it feel free to share it really helps out the channel
Lapidary Dave if you ever make it to Arkansas, look me up, we will hunt some diamonds!
That would be a big pleasure and an honor I go to Arkansas often I play in Bluegrass and country bands And tour Arkansas often I will definitely hit you up
Dave not only are you conveying a tremendous amount of knowledge but your making awesome connections along the way
Supreme Being Thank you so much my friend that is definitely one of the most fo Thank you so much my friend that is definitely one of the most Exciting part about it all I’m going to gym shoes and doing the CZcams channel I have been invited to all types of mines and claims across United States as well as different countries such as Canada China Japan New Zealand Indonesia Africa etc.
@@lapidarydave Dave I see that by my age you will be a most respected member of that community on a large scale in all areas. It surprises me that your not capitalizing on monetary values that you so readily recognize. Yoir ability to network and make others feel important is what makes you a truly special soul. Your in the right place and mind to grow and be renown. Keep shining on.
Wow great fordite!
A. Dahl and the rough was the most adorable I have ever seen it ever! I should have bought it all
Water added to calcium carbide in drops creates acetylene gas which is then burned creating a bright white light neccesary for seeing properly in a mine. I was blessed to live on awesome mine property in pala ca. As a small child.
Shaun Oneill What a blessing thank you so much for the information I really appreciate it and thank you so much for watching :)
@@lapidarydave in pala the carbide lamp was still standard through the eighties. I remember my dissapointment went I realized my rock hammer wasn't gonna cut it in the tourmaline mine . I needed dynomite . dang I was like 5. Tailings pile for me . lol. At this point id love to hit up that tailing.
That would be so much fun let me know maybe I’ll come out and join you digging through the tailings
Please do that sounds like a blast
Beautiful slabs , interesting to learn about those stones and Nevada area
Paige Lee There are a lot of slabs to be had at the miners co-op One of the best places to buy slabs during the Tucson show also there’s a lot of mom and Pop vendors So it really goes to a good cause
Og my, some stunning material

@@lapidarydave is there a way to get in touch with you, I have found a great agate/pet site but not sure what they are & would love to trade & have questions on buying some lap gear. If possible
Krypt0p33n Patriot Definitely my friend the easiest way to get a hold of me is probably #LapidaryDave on instagram or Facebook
@@lapidarydave Thank you @Lapidary Dave
14 min 34 secs ... so beautiful thanks for uploading Dave and showing prices and info 👍
James Jennison It’s my pleasure I have a little bit better camera equipment than I did last year and a lot of folks asked for the prices so I’m trying to oblige the best I can thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it
@@lapidarydave thank you so much really appreciated loved those chunks of blue stones makes you really wonder whats under our feet in the Ground 😉
Dave. Your video prompted me to attend the Miners Co-op today. Really enjoyed it , a great bunch of friendly exhibitors.
That is so great to hear my friend so happy that you went it’s a great mom and pop show a lot of good people thanks again for watching
Old rock hounds never die, we only petrify
Very nice I want it,,, :D green gemstone ,,,
There are lots of nice green gemstones out and about In some cultures green gemstones are the most precious because its a color of God
Thank you so much for watching my friend I really appreciate it
What a blessing
Gary Hashimoto :)
Good luck to you
Anwar quresh thank you my good friend
Ive never seen pyrite and turquoise really nice.
Mark Held absolutely! There’s a few different varieties that is well known for it
Thank you so much for watching my friend
@@lapidarydave Can u provide the seller's info? It was kinda hard to see.
debra belton Do you mean McKay the gentleman with the fordite and the turquoise?
@@lapidarydave Yes, McKay. Thank you.
debra belton mcKay Anderson is the gentleman‘s name and you can call him at 4352793604 Tell them that you saw the video on my channel please it would really help out and tell him lapidary Dave says hi
That's looks a lot like heaven in a carpark. You can't just do one lap can you? Great video, subbed you 👍🏼🇳🇿
You have great fun facts and appreciate the peep at maori, it's pronounced like moldy.... Moldy bread with a soft d. Again cool vid 👍🏼
Tripping on Rocks Thank you so much for watching my friend I really appreciate it and you’re right you have to go through many times one lap will not cut it
Some of those antique lamps used Calcium Carbide as an source of acetylene gas. Drop Calcium Carbide in water & it fizzes out acetylene -- enough to power a lamp or a canon
WOWO WOW WOW ;0 SUPER
LOOKA B. Thank you for watching

I love Az rock hounding!
gabriel kelderhouse You totally have to take me out there sometime Gabriel I would really appreciate it I don’t know much about Arizona rock hounding except for the payson diamonds
Getting ready to move to payson next week. Right now im in taylor az. I found a honey hole of petrified wood from log chip and stump. Also there is a giant amethyst mine in the 4 peaks. World class Siberian grade.
Oh my goodness I would love to see it in person
@@lapidarydave look up the 4 peaks mining co. They have a tour out of Scottsdale via helicopter its that or 2 day hike. The inside of the mountain is a giant geode. Its a little pricey but they might comp you for the you tube advertisement. They let you mine one for yourself also. One of my personal bucket list spots. Happy hounding!
gabriel kelderhouse Thank you so much for the info I will definitely check that out while I’m in Arizona it sounds like a blast or
I was there too, and i bought 3 t-rex bones, Allosaurus skull and an Allosaurus vertebra, and 2 Triceratops horns
Fantastic my friend sounds like a lot of stuff to carry did these fossils happen to come with really cool stands or they sold separately? Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it
Lapidary Dave the Allosaurus fossil and skull came with a stand
That Morenci Turquoise is amazing!!! I thought it looked like a blend of silver in the stone -- but is that pyrite & quartz?
I think just pyrite I’m not too sure :)
25:15 Morenci #2 Turquoise from Mexico 🇲🇽, With the brightest blues and shiniest pyrite.
crystals are fantastic and youre cute!
Nicola yulo thanks so much for enjoying I really appreciate it :)
What are you filming with? Videos Look fantastic! Thank you
Bills Sawshop thanks for watching my friend I’m filming with a GoPro 8 black
It only has a little bit better stabilization then the seven black but I got it from a company called zzounds.com Which let me do 12 monthly payments of $32
crown of silver psilomelane
Pongan subtítulos en español para entender mejor en. Mexico, solo entiendo el inglés un poco y me encanta ver todo lo de Gemologia.
No soy el mejor leyendo español, pero creo que me pediste que hiciera subtítulos en español, lo cual es una muy buena idea. Veré qué puedo hacer al respecto.
The chrysoprase from Zimbabwe you mention is most likely Mtorolite or Chrome Chalcedony a diffrent variety of chalcedony that is actually more rare then chrysoprase . Chrysoprase get its color from nickel and Chrome Chalcedony from Chromium Material labeled as chrysoprase from South of Africa is usually Mtorolite .
JonKinchIsLegit very interesting my friend I have a video coming out soon where I filmed material labeled Zimbabwe chrysoprase , chrome chalcedony, and a material called simply Prase maybe they are similar to what your talking about 💚
Thanks so much for sharing and educating on the subject I so very much appreciate it :) i wish bought a bit of alll four materials for a video but I didn’t :( every very I know I’m going to kick myself for not buy what I think I should but I blame the gemshow lol I’m there for nearly a month and get a bit desensitized and tell myself there’s always next year
Thanks again for sharing and for watching my friend
@@lapidarydave It must be so hard to not buy everything that catches the eye . You are so lucky to be there in person I love your videos they are very entertaining and educating as well . Sometimes the material called prase is a green common opal they call prase opal or just prase. But I too have seen material labeled prase that is just a green chalcedony where the color is not from nickel but a other source so they called it that. Thank you for making these videos they bring much happiness .
JonKinchIsLegit Thank you for watching I really appreciate it it’s totally my pleasure when I upload a video on the material please check it out and comment what you think and almost did look like a pale green opal the material called prase you might me spot on :) It’s easy not to buy everything when you can’t even afford a cuppa coffee LOL I was broke as a joke during the show so it was pretty easy again thank you for helping you are totally a blessing
I intended to be there but some major surgery kept me home. Hopefully next year. I definitely would be broke when I left there. Nice vid. Havagudun Bud.
E. D. Law I hope you recover from your surgeries go well my friend and I know I will see you here next year I definitely go broke when I have money but this year I’m so poor I can’t even pay attention LOL heal fast and see you soon my friend
I found better deals at Kino on rough. No one had any equipement to speak of the day I was there. i was surprised at how expensive the miner's coop was for polished cab's. Maybe that's because I slice, cut and polish my own.
Brent Farler in my opinion the cabs were a lot more expensive than what I would pay for I think because it’s mom and Pop they’ve been in the game a long time and they demand to get paid what they feel it’s worth a lot of machines that they sell their come from one booth in the corner of the co-op which is a family from Deming and a lot of the machines get sold on the first day or so
Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it please consider subscribing if you haven’t done so already really helps
I’m totally new here so excuse the dumb question but why are they in water ? What does that achieve
Louie Carrillo No worries my friend I do not believe in dumb questions they are inside water because when the stones are dry you cannot tell the color but when they’re wet it shows all of their colors so you know what you’re really buying
Thank you so much for watching him really appreciate it please consider subscribing and sharing with your friends and family if you think they would enjoy the video
I could polish the rough material and be happy i think.
I agree I think you would be very happy

I sit serene,
With my Citrine,
While manifesting,
I beam my dream,

As if it’s already happening.

Which is the mad master Manifesting crystal.
To keep your route elated more use Rutilated Quartz,
To keep on a path of light keep Apophyllite nearby,
Dumotierite will do more to you right,
Holler at me with your Hollandite!
Matt atron Thank you so much for sharing that my friend I wish I could create awesome poetry And also thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it
What in the world? Lol excellent poetry dude
Hey Dave great video, what was the name of the guy that makes the pewter gold mining scenes? Does he have a website do you know? Any help would be appreciated I can’t find them anywhere.
I’m from New Jersey so we don’t see that kind of stuff around here
In the video the gentleman says that the person who made them was named Greg Milar I don’t know exactly how to spell it if I’m not spelling it right and I also can’t find the pieces online myself with a look them up but that’s the gentleman‘s name
Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it please consider sharing with your friends and family if you think he would like it also please consider subscribing if you haven’t done so already it really helps of the channel
can i get more info on the 23k inlay gold mining scene store? can’t seem to find a website on ‘fine antiques’
Daniel Lim I will do my best to help you find out the 23 carat gold my good friend works with orgonite And he uses 23 carat gold 23 carat gold means that it’s gold leaf I will get some more info and message you back here as soon as I figure it out
Hi Dave! Just discovered you because I was looking to learn how to cut a glass vase for a Christmas present I was making...I also make jewelry from beads, bead weaving, wire, paper clay etc. and have been looking at videos learning to drill and polish beads, stones, resin, etc....but my room mate put a bug in my ear recently by telling me about Pratt Daddy and their crystals...are you familiar with them? I think they have a nice set up but wonder how much they really sell as their stuff seems very marked up in price!!!...their style is drilled through the top...whereas I have been learning wire wrapping and bail making...but I see that a lot of people are also teaching how to drill straight through the gems/stones...What would you suggest to start learning with or on? I can't see myself cutting out the pieces yet as I don't have any saws yet or polishing as I need the sanding machine...it's all kind of overwhelming but also fun and exciting...I guess maybe buying some stones that are cut and polished and I can drill them or wire wrap or make or put bails on...do you have any favorite sellers? Btw...You have a very nice easy going personality and you make your videos fun and interesting to watch...
Karen A. Buckley Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it when it comes to my favorite sellers most of them are Mexican Chinese an east Indian from out of the country but I also do some reselling material on cabs myself if you ever have a need anything in particular feel free to ask when it comes to Pratt daddy I totally think that they are overpriced in a bit of a novelty The prices that they are charging for those even though they are handmade are quite ridiculous And the quality is very elementary so much so I reached out to them about 2 1/2 years ago offering to be there lapidary and which they can make more money and have a much nicer product it’s super funny that you asked that question because I try to work for them a couple years ago when it comes to drilling I have several drilling videos on my CZcams channel feel free to check them out on my personal favorite two drilling methods one is using a tool color water swivel and the other one is using very cheap diamond bits and a rotary tool I suggest starting by drilling straight through the stone and then working your way to drilling through the sides thank you so much for watching my friend I really appreciate it please consider Subscribe if you haven’t done so already really helps the channel
@@lapidarydave hey Dave! Thanks so much for replying!!! Well a good point as far as Pratt Daddy is that they may have created some more publicity for the whole. Crystal and lapidary field... I think people probably buy their stuff who were fans of them and their show...And that us very cool that you offered to help with their business...and not knowing much about the field...I can still see that their prices are ridiculous...My room mate said someone should start another web site with a similar name like "Macdaddy" and sell crystals and crystal jewlery to take advantage of possible Search Engine Traffic that would pull up your site if people are looking for Pratt Daddy...food for thought!!! And I am pretty sure I have seen those videos of yours that you mentioned about drilling.. which I have no experience and am learning...but i will go back and rewatch and relook of course...I just started to watch some of your Gem Show videos too...I will definitely keep in touch and contact you when am ready to get some gems to make into jewelry! Keep up the good work!
@@lapidarydave PS...I had already definitely subscribed!
Karen A. Buckley thank you so much my friend you have great ideas and I reall appreciate it :) feel free to message me anytime on Instagram or Facebook via #lapidarydave
I would love a piece of that rough turquoise and pyrite from morenci #2 mine. Could you purchase for me? I will pay you commission.
Lyle Pascoe I can definitely help you get a piece of that material email me at davijjgarcia89@gmail.com
Why are some of the rough stones kept in water ??
Annie Peacock Hello there thank you so much for watching and for commenting they keep the stones in water because they are rough and when they are roughly will look dry and lose a lot of color when they put it in water it simulates the color you will get when they are polished I like when they use the water over having a spray bottle next to it because it’s a little less work and anything is better than when they caught the stones in petroleum which is a very common thing especially in Asia and Brazilian crystals it’s almost misleading because if you don’t know they are coded you won’t be able to see all the dings cracks and rough spots :)
Better get cabbing goober that opal is on fire
Ray Brooks lol sure nuf is my man
Lol your awesome thanks for sharing the show my friend awesome video and thank you my brother
Thanks so much for watching my brother I really appreciate it
How long is this show going?
The show is over yesterday my I am heading to California now but every thing that Eric had for sale he has for sale online and it will be the same price
Esta es una recomendación para la persona que nos está enseñando toda la exhibición , MUÉVETE ,para alcanzar a ver toda la exhibición , gracias y saludos.
Yolanda samaniego Muchas gracias por ver mi teléfono.

The stuff at 14:05 shuttukite? I need info on that stuff. That would be amazing to cab!
Joshua Behr What kind of info my brother like prices? In the video I put the gentleman scarred up you can contact him directly and ask him for prices if you do please tell him that you saw the video if you mean like metaphysical or how it cuts in general I don’t know the metaphysical properties but I know it cuts great
@@lapidarydave I was more wondering prices but I will go back over and get that contact card. Just such a beautiful color. So much amazing stuff but it looks pricey.
If you don’t mind would you please mention that you watch the video to McKay a lot of folks don’t believe anybody watch these so it’s always a big help to the channel if you let them know you saw their booth through the video
@@lapidarydave I plan on calling so I'll definitely let them know. Oh and Dave ya never let me know of any tips n tricks on cleaning the crust as you call it lol off of a big hunk of black obsidian. Lol
Mrs. Ox did you send pictures of the stone
What! No machines.
Could anyone tell me what kind of stone at 19:24
Hoài Sang Lăng Hello there my friend this material goes by the name fordite It is layers of paint from an old and long gone American car company the paint grows in layers and then people started cutting it and making jewelry out of it but it is nothing more than paint
@@lapidarydave
Woa, thank you so much, it is amazing.
My pleasure I wish I would’ve bought more from this gentleman doing the Buenavista show I no longer think he is selling it for six dollars an ounce
Why do they keep the stones in water?
They keep the stones inside of water because if they were outside of water they were dry up and one would not be able to see the color
Lapidary Dave thank you, i did not know that
Heck yes my friend anything anytime
I enjoy learning something new, again thank you
Thank you so much for watching my friend feel free to share :)

U u
I’m curious, do you see many young or middle aged people at the big lapidary shows out there in paradise? It’s about died out in Canada. I’m hopeful about the twenty-somethings that now want experiences, not possessions.
Canadian Gemstones hello my friend:) when I started going to gem shows it was mostly a older crowd but as of late it definitely is starting to change and more and more younger folks are getting into it because of the social media gem scene
I would say it’s about 50/50 now a days And if anything more of the retired mom and Pop vendors are getting out of the scene because more and more foreign wholesalers are starting to run the scene and they cannot make the same living that they used to back in the day a lot of people spent a retirement in the gym and mineral seen and now it’s starting to not be profitable for mom and pops due to the wholesalers charging a lot less all the time anyway I hope I helped with a question thank you so much for watching appreciate it please consider subscribing if you haven’t done so already it really helps the channel
Lapidary Dave I appreciate your insights, have subscribed, and I truly appreciate what you do. Keep up the good work!
Canadian Gemstones thanks so much :) Let’s collaborate on a video sometime I will mail you some American material maybe you can send me some Canadian material and I’ll send my subscribers your way I dig your channel
Lapidary Dave I’m just getting started, on CZcams, truly appreciate any help. Have a vast depth of Canadian gemstones accumulated over about 4 decades. Will make tons more videos, hope to encourage young people.
