Looks like a winter Buffalo

Unbelievable AWESOME incredible pattern. Wonder what the rest of the Indian Paint Stone would look like if it were slabbed or if the pattern changes if the other end was slabbed. It will make awesome large cabs for a variety of jewelry pieces. You'll have to decide. Where in the U.S. is this material available? Thanks for sharing.

That would make a beautiful beltbukel. 😊

A friend and I Would like to attend the 2025 tuscon gem show. We are not in the business and just like to check it out. What is the best show for us to attend?

Interesting soft blue patterns. I wonder what might be hiding behind those 1st cuts, if you were to make two additional cuts, one from each side, approximately 5-6 mm thin. After the cuts, shine a light source behind, even the sun. Are you willing to 'gamble'?

That's gorgeous ❤

So awesome!

“I like it” GOSH THANK YOU DAVE! I have one lady in particular that I love watching on TikTok, it’s like ASMR. I’ve never bought anything but she just brings me joy, and the sound of the rocks clicking around as she mixes them is so soothing. I don’t know how anyone could say they’re damaging the scene when most of them are just selling tumbled stone, face rollers, towers, you know - not really “artisan” pieces. If I want something artisan I’m most definitely going to buy from an artisan! But for a little scoop of tumbled stone and a tower that doesn’t have perfectly even faces? Let the TikTok Lucky Scoop folks do their thing!

Are yowah nut opal expensive these days

Will do they always say you can't always have too many stones

It’s like the deep blue❤

What great looking formations inside

Those quartz prices were wild. For the $1,500 he was charging for that everyday quartz you could get a really nice Gwindel specimen.

Love this blue color so beautiful 💙

Thanks for your honesty David

I cut opal, for my final polish i use a peice of craft foam stuck to a lap disk. Works like a dream

I need me some purple agate ❤❤

😮 Wow! Its like a painting! Beautiful 😊❤

That agate is nuts! So much going on! And that geode pocket is stunning!😮❤

I should have bought that four piece parcel. lol. oh well.

Wow, that’s bad-ass! I have never seen Indian Paint Stone before…Thanks Dave.

It's called paint stone because it can be ground up and applied as red, orange, or yellow paint. It was usually applied to the face and arms as decoration, that's what I was taught growing up 😄

Just beautiful ❤

That paint stone is beautiful stuff. 😍

I have loved your calming shows for a long time. Now, I put the volume to silent because I feel the music ruins the peaceful flow.

Maybe call it the Mystery Origin Blue Agate? It is beautiful! But I do not blame you for the question of integrity! You are a Dear! One very rare Dear!

They look like Richardson Ranch Thundereggs that were cracked open and removed most of the outer shell off with a hammer and then put the agate center in a tumbler. I've done this myself years ago.

Beautiful blue, just blessed to see that color

Where did this come from??❤

What all did that Mojave Blue look like? as good as Mt Airy or ? I think there was a little more than a single pit up by Sweet Home.

It’s amazing to watch how FAST a pro can do this! I’m a newbie/amateur just testing the lapidary waters with an angle grinder (my stand-in flat lap/polisher) and wet tile saw and I know I’m never going to see these results that way 😂 but I love watching how this is properly done! Thanks for showing us all!

Dave, you are such an awesome person.

Hello Dave, my name is Don. I have dug Holly Blue and I can tell you for sure your blue stones are not Holley Blue. Holley Blue is very pitted. I still have a portion of a 5 gallon of Holley blue left.
