Thanks Dave, Great video. I have harvested a lot of obsidian in our area. (Central WA.) But the peanut obsidian is so beautiful! My 8 year old Grandson has Autism and he loves going on road trips with Grandpa to different places to harvest agates, Jaspers, Obsidian and petrified wood etc. Keep posting! We love it!
That’s absolutely amazing my friend you should check out into the group tumblers for autism they donate free rock Tumblr’s two kids with autism that is so cool that your grandson is in the rocks when I have some free time when I get back from Florida I would love to send him a package
Just south of Oregon just north of the Cali border I found some stop sign red obsidian. I think Santa Barbara was about 55 miles from that place it's been years mind you but it was a large formation. I'd never in 40 years doing this seen red obsidian.
Excellent! Keep them coming as you have the time! Hope the music and booking are goin' good!!! Watch for peanut obsidian where the peanuts look like little pansy blooms. Cool stuff!
Never heard of peanut obsidian ether. Of course I have snow flake obsidian and just regular black and mahogany. I thought really is was some odd mahogany piece. It looks like snow flake and mahogany if you mixed them with each other. I still need to get for my collection. Gold sheen and rainbow. But now again thanks to you. I've learned a new one. And I'll have to add that to my wish list for my Collections. 😁 thank you Dave.
Hiya Dave, that's only the second time I've seen peanut obsidian, now I know where they found that stuff from, beautiful material. Those opals were beautiful too. Awesome video, sorry about your leg, I would have done some coursing if that happened to me. 😁 I hope you have a awesome blessed day. Cya! 😸🐟out!
Hello there my friend thanks for watching :) I wasn’t too worried about my leg but didn’t want to make a mess and people are more afraid of blood due to Rona then ever before 😭 people were grossed out at me like they wanted me to wait in the truck
@@lapidarydave aww dude! That's so crazy 🤪, but I do know what you're saying, that guy that had all that material, had some cool looking stuff. A friend of mine gave me some fire opals, now that is some cool looking stuff, he lives in Oregon, but it looks just like what that vendor has.
Not too sure but I’d say in my experience between $4-$10 a pound and it’s definitely a 100+ pound boulder bit even though that’s what I think it’s worth one can alway try to negotiate for less like you could try by starting at $350 but it could easily go for over $1000
Hello Dave, this is Jose franco, that yellow agate, it's not from Mexico, it's from Deming nm. It's call gold digging agate from the claim hound and puppy's mine. It's located near the big digging mine. My brother Marco franco is a 50% partner on it.
The agate that didnt have a name is called "Gold Diggins" from Deming NM. I have collected a couple hundred pounds and I know someone who had nearly a ton.
I have no idea to be sure but definitely might be surprised They i’ll probably have that for years and years and probably would like to get rid of it I wouldn’t be surprised if they only paid 400 or 500 for it from the miner
Seeing this material is awesome. I wish I lived much closer to go to those shows. I am torn between a flat top grinder or a cabking machine. If anyone has experience on either please let me know
You are definitely going to want a cabking over a flatlap lapidary machine ultimately you’re going to want both but you’re going to be able to get a lot more done and it will be easier for you to pay off the machine if you get your lapidary wheels before you get your lapidary flat cabking sponsors my channel if you decide to get one please consider using this product link cabking.myshopify.com?aff=11
@@briancunningham3283 Dave nailed it. A multi-wheel cab machine is infinitely more useful than a flat lap. Changing laps for every grit gets old, fast. Cab machines are surprisingly versatile, can polish hand sized pieces, believe it or not, if the shape is right. (But a flat lap gets stuff flat!)
Thank you my friend I totally believe it really works I watched a video where a friend told everybody not to like the video during his live and then when he had about 30 or 40 people and he told them all to go ahead and like the video simultaneously and then within about 15/22 over 100 people joined the live
@@lapidarydave No worries. I'll be in the QIA Pow Wow at least this coming year, even if never again. Friends, family, farewells etc. My knees wont take it anymore.
Deep greens & blues! Muy Bonito! 👍🤠
Great video! I personally know this family and they all share a passion for this. Saludos a la familia Ruiz!!
This family is absolutely awesome:) I really enjoyed them
Thanks for watching

One forgets about the astonishing wealth of gems and minerals in Mexico, thanks for sharing!
Definitely:) it’s a land of gems for sure
Oh I'd one each of those fantastic pieces from Mexico. Well...maybe two of each. 😁 That was a fun watch. Thanks Dave
Thank you my friend it feels good to get more footage out and this was really a blast to film
Excellent! Keep them coming as you have the time! Hope the music and booking are goin' good!!!

Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure
So much beautiful material I love the opal!
Definitely awesome material I would
Love to have one of those huge jars
They have so much beautiful material.
Definitely he’s got a lot of great goods
AWESOME Dave. !! Peace and love 🙏🏼
That agate/jasper mix is beautiful. I could see some very nice carvings and cabs, maybe a nice belt buckle from that first sliced piece he showed.

That blue opal…

It was pretty awesome stuff for sure
At 12:25, that Agate really needs a cool name, a truly incredible type of Agate! #YouRockLapidaryDave
That agate/jasper is stunning! al vendedor ¡Sí, debería ponerle el nombre de su esposa!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the 🎥
Stay Crystal 💫
Yea it like snow flake but has red flakes. Windee what makes it red it is ash right.
I have no idea but it’s coooooool!
Super intrigued by the blue opal with color play -- can't find the FB though!
Sometimes the cards are just for looks 🙉🤷🏽♂️
the agate/jasper mix he could call it rindite cause it looks like a watermelon rind. great vid as always.
Great stuff Dave I guess I missed this stall.
They will be there next to my friend this time this January and February as usual
That peanut obsidian is beautiful, I need to get some in my collection 🤯🤩
That crazy lace seam agate at 11:00 is amazing 🤩
12:34 I agreed with you, make a very beautiful display piece.
I love watching these types of videos. I’m always learning new stuff. Thanks. 🔥🔥🔥
@@RockHoundingAdventures heck yea I can’t wait to hit up Denver with you homes
Very nice. How much would one of those chrysacola boulders be worth that you filmed towards the beginning?

You are welcome to come anytime my friend and bring along as many friends as you want!!! 👍👍👍
When is the next gem show? And where?
Denver in September is the next big one here in the USA
@@lapidarydave what is it called I will love to go.
@@andresmontellano5078 it’s called the Denver gemshow :)

Interesting thanks brother
The jasper agate would make a beautiful maple leaf!!
It sure would! If I bought a piece I would definitely have to make one :)

Lap D, what would the large Turquoise cost me ? It’s amazing!
I have no idea to be sure but definitely might be surprised

Alway want to keep singing though I shred a mean guitar I can’t vocally carry a tune in a bucket
@@lapidarydave Me neither, though I thought I recognised a tune in your voice there. I started singing.
That jasper agate looks like Maury Mountain moss agate from Oregon.
Very cool
What no Sonora Sunrise/Sunset? 🤠
Sonora sunrise is from arizona. I believe this was mostly Mexican minerals.
@@lapidarydaveI'm an Old-school character Dave, unless Sonora the area it's named after moved to AZ, I'll be!?!?😮
@@donaldfitzgerald8950 I was always under the impression that it was a copper, or from Arizona perhaps even somewhere near bisbee
They should call it the yellow river

Какая красота,возможно ли купить и отправить в Россию.
Leah & I always display our cut Virgin Valley Precious opal case in the direct sun. They get too hot to hold too.
It’s something I’m very used to vending in the spring and summer lol especially in Tucson

If your family are miners in Mexico it definitely could be a possibility :)
From deming NM
@@jeanniecawley1686 all the material he has cut into cabs and the rough come from and are made by artists in Mexico :)
