hey, show took a backseat here! you skate? I thought i was one of the only skaters who also happen to like rocks! haha, half joking, rad to see you shred though. Me and my partner love watching your videos and dreaming of a day we can leave the UK to lands of richer soil. Love
Just curious…have you ever met a John and/or Debbie Meredith from Burbank CA? They used to have a booth at various rock and gem shows years ago. John has passed away-not sure if his wife still does them. Really awesome couple.
Anyone whos planning on making their initial pilgrimage to Tucson should know the number one golden rule of Tuscan, never buy anything from the main show. These venders have to pay a hefty price to have that spot on the floor and it does affect the base price for the minerals. Also, you won't find anything fairly priced on that floor anyways, they are targeting a different demographic, typically very very wealthy collectors or one time purchasers. A lot of sales on the main floor are between vendors and usually include some trading thus the pricetag is really only for show goers. Stick to the side street and hotel shows in Tucson. You'll get much more bang for your buck.
There is a big price difference between the top quality, best of specimens, that the big dealers sell, and the more average stuff that they sell at the small booths. Depends on what you are looking for. The miners sell the top quality museum type pieces to the big dealers, and the mediocre to low grade specimens to the souvenir type shops, & small time dealers.
I do agree, every now and then you may can find a good deal or you can haggle and they will come down on the price. I just love to go there to look around like it’s a museum!
@@TheCrystalCollector it absolutely is a museum! You can see pieces on display from Museums there! I always tell people the main show is for your camera not your pocketbook.
You are the best. I watch a few of these shows but yours is the best. You make it right because you explain what they are and you make it fun. Thank you really enjoyed this.
You do such a great job of sharing your knowledge of these gorgeous stones, crystals, etc. Your enthusiasm is off the charts! Love, LOVE your broadcasts! WHAT!!!!!👀
Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel! Yes I think because they are so many various types and every rock is different, it keeps me motivated! 💎🙌💜
This was so amazing- the fluorescent specimens put a whole new spin on things- just magical! Thank you for saying the prices too! It makes it so much more fun to hear them!
Wow… it’s been a while since I’ve seen the video. It’s me Darin. The boy who let him borrow the UV light. lol. Wow I have grown up. Love you Crystal Collector. Always be your #1 fan.
WOW ..... How beautiful !!!! What a fabulous show!!! . OK I think I need to go to Tyson next year!!! I forgot you had another show on Tyson. Thank you so much for another incredible Show!!! Enjoy yourself!!! Chat later bye for now!!!!🤔😇☺😚😙😘😘😘😍😍😍😁
Finally...a quality video discussing prices for some of these world class minerals!!! Thank you Crystal Collector!!!! 😉 My top two mineral collecting subscriptions on TH-cam are The Crystal Collector and Bluecap Productions with Bryan Swoboda...you guys ROCK!!! Thanks for what you do!!! Your efforts are much appreciated!!!
Thanks so much for supporting the channel, much appreciated!! Yeah I’ve been wanting to go out there and do a video like this for a while, next year I will get a better mic, so many people talking around that it picked up a few more than I figured.
One of the most interesting videos so far I have seen about Tucson. Showing the best quality gems, along with prices. Introducing the vendors briefly. Great thank you.
That was some place Bryan, some gorgeous pieces though well out of my price range but I enjoy looking st them. The colours of the different items are so lovely and the fluorescent items are really bright and colourful. My battery is nearly out so goodnight and God bless you, Matrix and Amos,love and hugs Mary-Ellen UK
Always great to hear from you! Yes the show was amazing, I almost didn’t go but last second I got a new vehicle and Amos and I decided to drive on out, it’s about a 25 Hour Drive from my house!!
Amazing! Always wanted to go - timing in my life never was right! This video was a close second for me! Probably save me a fortune too as I ‘M a bit of a magpie and have to have all things that sparkle! Thank you sooo much!
Hi I lived the Main show!!!!! It was great!!! Great job . It must have been sooooooooo wonderful to have been there! Matrix kooks so cute in your back pack. He is so cute! 😇😇😇chat later😚😙😗😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍bye Suzanne Schube
Hello Bryan. Nature is amazing. UAU, What a big show. Your enthusiasm is wonderful as well as Amos. I loved to see Matrix. He is so adorable. Thanks for one more fantastic video. God bless you.
Another awesome rock show! I really love those Tasmanian crocoite clusters. Add it to my very long wish list. Haha Thanks for the video, sir. (Hi, Sir Amos!)
Ohhh, that aquamarine!...(swoon)...and the fluorescent ammonites...(double swoon)...So many awesome specimens. It's also been great to see Mr. Amos with you. So obvious y'all are having a great time, and I'm loving every minute shared! 😁
The botryoidal amethyst, the aquamarine w/carbon needles, the amazing tourmalines....can't make up my mind which is my favorite! And that malachite--heart-breaking beauty! LOL, poor Matrix needs his nap now!
Matrix wasn't looking too happy at the end. Such a big day for the little guy, and I am sure that he is dreaming of good food and a chance to sleep! Thanks, Bryan, for the tour. Five of us were going to go this year, but with COVID still looming, if even one of us got sick, it would pretty much spoil the trip for all of us, so with that, we cancelled. I have been to Tucson 15 times anyway, so it will be interesting to see if I ever get back there again!
Yes after six hours of walking around, he was pretty pooped! I did give him some breaks but he was happy 98% of the time, people were petting him on the head and saying how cute he was, 😂
@@TheCrystalCollector I would have to agree everyone about Matrix's cuteness. He is one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen, and he absolutely loves you! I always love to see that when you speak to him, he always goes a little cute crazy over you, and he is always ready to respond. And now that we are talking about him, I am dying to know how you ended up finding this cutie pie, cause it sure looks like a match made in heaven!
Tucson Gem & Mineral Show - GORGEOUS! Thank you Bryan The Crystal Collector for making this. I’m sure this wasn’t an easy one to edit. So interesting. Saw things I’ve never seen before even online.💛
Thank you for a incurable show!!! I love your Instagram viewed all of them!! Its too bad you and Matrix don't like each other😂😅😂you two are wonderful together. Looks like fun. Skating Many thanks😗😘😘😍😍😍
Wow..!! What an amazing show.. Idaho's been having our show's across the state.. There's another show March 26th & 27th which I believe is in Bannock County/Pocatello..
I think one of your most Epic Videos!!! The coonzite! Creative cudos for the spinny one's! Loved Eriks carvings!! At 18:15 "Hey Matrix 👋 ". Amos cracked a beauty!! And the florescent one's were "Total Quaillo" Dude!:):) And everybody needs a blob:):) great time!! Thanks Bryan!!
This is such an epic show, hope y’all get to make it if you’ve never been out before, next year we will see you there!
OMG 😮 what the heck! You're so lucky 😭. It's heaven there with so many crystals and stones ❤️
hey, show took a backseat here! you skate? I thought i was one of the only skaters who also happen to like rocks! haha, half joking, rad to see you shred though. Me and my partner love watching your videos and dreaming of a day we can leave the UK to lands of richer soil. Love

The only people who make money in the hobby are the diggers and the dealers.
Yup i agree with you
That aquamarine/quartz geode is quite possibly the most beautiful specimen I have seen in my life. Absolutely amazing!
Unbelievable gems at that show. You wouldn't believe there were such crystals in the world. Awesome
