I grew up in Namibia where semi precious stones are also so abundant. I love my string of Amethyst beads, my blue Sodalites,Zeolite,Rose quartz, Garnets,Tiger eyes,Agates. Namibia and South Africa are rich in all of these semi precious stones❤
I lived out west most my life and never got into lapidary once. I moved to TX and now getting into cutting and polishing stones like jasper and agates. Now I want to go back out west to get me some rocks! haha!
I can't eat and hear you talk at the same time. The things you know just make me wanna spit out my food or choke on my drink every 5min! Good lord! How does this man know this stuff?
Alot of beads you pick up, could be used for buttons on bulky sweaters and coats…don’t. Limit yourself to necklaces. And stone beads would make great back splashes and bathroom counter tops😊
The original and authentic London bridge was bought for $2.42M by a guy from Havasu City They carefully disassembled, numbered each individual piece and shipped it to Havasu and reassembled.
Hey Dave 🙏this is an apology about my last comment I realized the next day that the Do not touch signs were likely specific to a particular bin or section How can the customer bond with a particular stone without picking it up And looking at it! 🧐 I am sorry I was being “hall monitor “ I love my hobby and the people I’ve met and learned so much from Humbled by my mistake Please keep on doing Lots of us would never get the chance to see the fine specimens and be able to listen to the vendors without you
my friend, I do not take it personally and I will tell you the gosh, honest truth if I saw the sign, I wouldn’t have touched it. We are great my friend you’re totally my family to not sweat it at all. ❤️
he should’ve said hi you’re never interrupting :) if you go to Tucson, and you see me there and make sure to say hello it’s always an honor and a pleasure
The hearts that are marked 44 etc on the back are marked that way because they count them all and match them to the custom made stands and they number the stands as well. The price was the little white tag It’s amazing how well they make each custom fit stand also
Gem world in Pheonix is always a must stop for me but I guess I need to visit this location now too! I'm not a big fan of their "souvenirs" and kitchy stuff but it's always worth digging through their specimen boxes.
Hi Hannah!! Where is the Phoenix location at??? I want to go, I go to the Rock/gem shop at Arizona Mills: Baseline and 1-10..everyone knows where the Az. Mills huge new mall is, not so new now really..and where is this Gem world where he is videoing at now?? Love doing the rock howding, buy a few and learn loads..rocks, crystals, gems make me feel so good, natural and grounded...keep in touch if you wish and I would love to go to rock shows/shows with other enthusiasts!!🐱🐈🏺⚖🪒🕯🕯🕯🕯
Hey Dave, you videos are cool! I'm interested in making my own flat lap. Have been looking for the table top tile saw to modify, but just saw your use of drill press. What kind of lapping disc are you using? Are you using a master lap or backing? Just getting into it, lots of questions. Thanks!
hello there i use cheap master laps made overseas sold by amazon i don’t know the exact brand of generic unfortunately and i haven’t been using master laps for the more aggressive hard metal laps but if i was finishing me stones i’m a flat lap and was using prepolishing disks i would have to figure something out thanks for watching my friend i really appreciate it
Awesome video mate, wish we had gemworld here in Aus haha We're trying to break into to u.s market atm with our opals. We heard that in America there are over 60,000 Lapidary groups and shops. That sounds amazing! Plus the youtube community focusing on gems, gold, mining and cutting are great and seem like a great bunch.
Man what a catalyctic world of sensational phenols, nitrile and more....used to be...they ever rendition alittle metals, prolly hop on some mineral renditions....oh the sensation...mustve been 30 40 years ago.
their website it is impossible to maintain and stay updated. They have so much stuff come in and out as fast as it comes in. I don’t even know why they have a website. Your best bet is to give them a call and ask them if they have any between the three stores that they operate around Arizona
Never mind I found it. It’s called Arizona gift center in Apache junction. Can’t believe I didn’t know about it. Maybe the name helps keep it a secret.
Hey I enjoy watching your channel However after drawing attention to the DONT TOUCH--ask for assistance….. Quit handling the bin content You are careful The next person who watches you and decides to handle the product may not be as conscientious!!
good question i imagine there had to be something similar it doesn’t come to mine off the top of my head, but I will ask around and get back to you on that
not too bad they already exist in a few different forms. Mostly just hippies wire, wrapping slabs, roughly shaved into lenses. It will definitely work it’s just gonna take somebody with some faith in a little bit of start up money but it’s a guaranteed money making idea.
are you asking why they don’t have a storefront in the East Coast? All three gym words are ran by the same guy and for the most part only a day, Drive away from each other and his coach store would be pretty successful, but hard to manage from across the country.

I want to shop there!

Great video
Hey Dave
🙏this is an apology about my last comment
I realized the next day that the
Do not touch signs were likely specific to a particular bin or section
How can the customer bond with a particular stone without picking it up
And looking at it! 🧐
I am sorry I was being “hall monitor “
I love my hobby and the people I’ve met and learned so much from
Humbled by my mistake
Please keep on doing

I'm so excited! I want to visit tomorrow! What a wonderland. I'm coastal North Carolina so it's only a 35 hour drive!!! 😂
We call those 'Canadian beanies' toques here in Canada, eh 🇨🇦
As always so informative!
Dave I saw you earlier today but didn’t want to interrupt your conversation.
Me too.
he should’ve said hi you’re never interrupting :) if you go to Tucson, and you see me there and make sure to say hello it’s always an honor and a pleasure
you are never interrupting. If you decide to go to Tucson and you see me there please say hi means a lot to me.
The hearts that are marked 44 etc on the back are marked that way because they count them all and match them to the custom made stands and they number the stands as well.
The price was the little white tag
It’s amazing how well they make each custom fit stand also
I hope you do this next year when I have more disposable income 😅. Looking forward to seeing what’s offered today!

Do you know the address for the store in Phx. I tried to goggle it but it came up with a bead store.

You made me put the brakes on what said about sunglasses. omg
Wonderful amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your content Dave. Learning quite a lot from you. Also recently started my own channel.
Thanks for watching I just subscribe to your channel. Let’s collaborate soon.

Price on the baskets 17:18 are 6.50 this year.
it's man made cement on the back of the cathedral amethyst geodes to stop them from crumbling so they can get it out .
good!
Are those geodes at the beginning lab created? Because the uniformity is exceptional.

Do they have a website for us folks out in jersey? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
they do but it won’t have everything
Ammonites, what’s the price on the 8” ? that you picked up.
Et des magnifique cojlier
opals, facet stone, slabs and cabs??? rings & things.
It’s spelled Quartzsite, with an S, Dave.
damn i’m bloody embarrassed now 🤦🏽♂️ thanks for letting me know my friend
Man what a catalyctic world of sensational phenols, nitrile and more....used to be...they ever rendition alittle metals, prolly hop on some mineral renditions....oh the sensation...mustve been 30 40 years ago.
i have no idea what your talking about but sounds neat
p -38 can openers
I went on the website and do not see those amethyst “wings” that were on stands. I want to purchase but I live in Michigan
their website it is impossible to maintain and stay updated. They have so much stuff come in and out as fast as it comes in. I don’t even know why they have a website. Your best bet is to give them a call and ask them if they have any between the three stores that they operate around Arizona
If you have a camper, you got to plan a trip to quartzsite in January. You can camp at an LTVA for 180.00 a season. October to April.
How much the price of gemstones mix colours orange and black I have two gemstones like egg.1 white plane and 1 mix orange colour and black
I would love to shop online but Google says that they're security certificate expired 9 days ago and not SAFE to shop.
i do t need google to let me know that Mr George has a awesome shop definitely worth buying from ❤️
It's Quartzsite, AZ.
i know lol 🤦🏽♂️🦧 i will change it
@@lapidarydave actually, it was supposed to be Quartzite. The Post Office misspelled it.
✌🏻
I live in Phoenix. I see no gem world anywhere around. Can someone enlighten me? I’d love to know of a place like this in the Phoenix metro.
Never mind I found it. It’s called Arizona gift center in Apache junction. Can’t believe I didn’t know about it. Maybe the name helps keep it a secret.
@@tangythang8668 being in Apache junction is what keeps it under the radar. They also have Tucson
And Quartzsite
We also have lemon quartz in Arkansas. Oh, and a Diamond mine. So, do not claim to know an area, which you are not familiar with, Dave.
🤦🏽♂️
Are you saying plithe or blithe? Is where you stay in coming in October
not sure blythe maybe haven’t seen this video in a while
@@lapidarydave you mentioned you never stay in quartzite the hotels are too expensive you said you stay close by would that be blithe
@@justBEingjada yep i’m blythe especially since he had a bluegrass festival there like to go over there and play music. It’s 25-ish minutes away.
Hey I enjoy watching your channel
However after drawing attention to the
DONT TOUCH--ask for assistance…..
Quit handling the bin content
You are careful
The next person who watches you and decides to handle the product may not be as conscientious!!
No citrine 02:20 Ametist 😮😢
Jamaican Maple leaf. 😂
What is the address of this store
Right. Lol.
Turkey, come, let me sell my stones to you😉👋🇹🇷
If i lived there, i'd probably get fired for not loggin into work- oops😝
I love how this video ended
if you watched the whole video to see the end you deserve a prize :) this was one of the longest videos i’ve ever made :)
@@lapidarydave I watched a lot of it actually, perfect for getting over being I'll.
@@j.f.c thank you so much for watching my friend. I really appreciate it.
Hi Dave is there any shop like this in LA ?
good question i imagine there had to be something similar it doesn’t come to mine off the top of my head, but I will ask around and get back to you on that
Question how do you tell the difference between fake or real.
Mostly experience, but to be honest, sometimes I’m still mistaken
Wouldn't those sunglasses be heavy to wear?
not too bad they already exist in a few different forms. Mostly just hippies wire, wrapping slabs, roughly shaved into lenses. It will definitely work it’s just gonna take somebody with some faith in a little bit of start up money but it’s a guaranteed money making idea.
Do you have to have a business license to shop here?
nope open to public

are you asking why they don’t have a storefront in the East Coast? All three gym words are ran by the same guy and for the most part only a day, Drive away from each other and his coach store would be pretty successful, but hard to manage from across the country.
i just wish there was one near me
Ive tried to watch this but cant get past the sound of crunchy plastic... Sucks.
i think that’s the best part 🤷🏽♂️
It's a delicious sound

Could have gone to T Rocks but you chose this junk dealer, what is up with that.
look i like junk and junk like junk
How many people know of “rock hounds” who passed and left their heirs hundreds of pounds of garden quality rocks to dispose of? This is apparently where a lot of that worthless rock comes from.
I find most of mine on the shoreline and in the forest in situ ( in host rock ), and some of my pieces are e pretty close to show quality
