- Check out the exciting treasures from the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show 2023, as I search for the perfect gems to take home! In this video, explore amazing rough rock from around the world, incredible cabochons in all shapes and sizes, and opals from Australia and Africa. Toward the end of my shopping spree, I run into Lapidary Dave and his pal, Sprite. Back home, I take a closer look at the slabs, rough, fire agates and opals I brought home. It's a gem and mineral extravaganza!

Katy I loved your video. Thanks for taking the time to show us.
Thank you for taking the time to come along!
How did ever decide on what to buy? I spent a few million just watching you look!
Beautiful pieces! I'm glad you guys had a wonderful time. Thanks for sharing!✌️🤠🤘
* Thanks for showing some of those pieces up close. Loved the Golden Peanut Obsidian, So Cool! ~ I had a teardrop piece of Shattuckite made into a wonderful ring. It Polishes beautifully. ~ So surprised that white Labradorite looks so much like Moon Stone. They both have the same Chatoyancy. Labradorite seems to have more.. Love dark Labradorite.. Drooling at the screen.. ~ When you made your 2023 Maker's Challenge, I was sure you would make a tall lamp similar to those at the 9:30 to 10:00 mark.. but your tray is beautiful.. ~ Ethiopian Opal is Amazing.. The chatoyancy is so much brighter than ours here in the US.. ~
So many beautiful rocks. :)
You picked some beautiful stones of all kinds. I'm jelly, waiting on getting my trim blades so I can cut some corals I found. I love watching you and can't wait to see what you make. Thank you for this show. You all are awesome.
Thanks for making this video I know I could never go there and see everything. That Kish oh cola rock looked neat my problem is I have a favorite black opal dealer and im Hooked on buying his Black opals off ebay lol Cheers.
Dave and Sprite are awesome guys. I really like helping Dave on the live sales. I love the rocks you got, Kate! I would like to go to one of those rock shows. Great flash in those opals. Got my eye on your store. The tumbles turned out great.
Glad you were there, even virtually. 😊
Beautiful! I’m jealous! That Tiffanystone is awesome. It’s my favorite. I’m always looking for slabs of that! Very soft stone but makes a nice cab!
WOW, whish I was there. SOOO much beutiful to look at, must be hard to select some??
Everyone Rocks got some of the cotton candy agate. Not sure what she did with it though. You have a great eye for the good ones Kate!
Is Everyone Rocks related to Dave somehow?
@KatyDidRocks I they are just friends but I'm not sure.
The labradorite chest burster xenomorph is cool 👍🏻 yes that’s what it is 😂 you can look it up. I’m sure
Ooooomg that Chrysacolla copper is awesome at 1:19 is amazing I need some of that wonder how much it costs
It is crazy expensive - $300/lb at that place. I bought a tiny slab, and it cost $36! Worth it, though.
@@KatyDidRocks oooomg $300 a pound
It’s was very nice but not that nice
I have 5 little fire opals or agates that have flash. Depending on which vendor as to what they call them. Arizona Rocks and Minerals field guide calls them fire agates. Whatever they are gorgeous. Trying to figure out how to cut and polish.
Looks like you had a ton of fun! Stunning stuff...neverminding the cat hair! ♡
LOL, It's EVERYWHERE! Thanks, Allison.
The spring floods have started…. From all the drool caused by the eye candy in this vid !!
I almost asked you a couple of months ago if you wanted to drive to the show this year. I want to go but my hubby is always unavailable to go. I do know a couple friends who might go but I did think of you !
Thank you for thinking of me! My schedule is tight, so we flew down - but I hope you get to go sometime!
How much was the Kris-O-Cola Copper Agate?
CRAZY expensive - $300/lb.!

Nice haul. I'm thinking you might need to change your name to Opal.
Sounds a bit old-fashioned. :D
My daughter is named Opal. I think it's due for a comeback.
She is 18 and really loves her name. As a bonus, people give her opals all the time.
