Thank you so much for featuring the hotel rooms at the Pueblo Show! I'm a gemologist, and I love to collect "stuff in quartz." When I arrived in Tucson this year, I went straight to room 113 at the Ramada Inn (Pueblo Show) and purchased a very nice, large Pom Pom quartz. I absolutely LOVE it! If I hadn't seen it in your video, I may not have even known that it existed. 🙏❤

Please give more prices. You seem to avoid prices when ever possible. Maybe when you pick up a piece give the cost. All that stuff is crazy cool and I hope to make the big show next year
@AlexaVonSuess6 ай бұрын
In his defense, oftentimes prices aren't posted and you don't want to disturb a vendor who is selling items to a buying client just to get pricing for a video.
@ssamirye72596 ай бұрын
Most things are priced and I'm talking about things common to most vendors. It's a big expense to go to a show so far away and find out you can buy stuff for the about the same price locally. We want to be blown away with the deals you get at the big shows.@@AlexaVonSuess

I got the light from a jade dealer in Denver but if you look up jade lights online it should be easy to find the light doesn’t let you know if it’s real but lets you see into the stone when you can help with determining the quality not really it’s all authenticity

Yeah I know I just like messing with sprite lol those are super funny looking. Do you think they grow them like that or do they glue them maybe?
@bonblue49936 ай бұрын
Hi Dave. I always assumed that they glued them, but now that I think about it, in order to get each crystal looking the same and having all of those clusters looking the same, I am guessing that they are lab created. It is so unfortunate that these beautiful minerals from the Earth are being faked because even the fakes make money. All of the people who make the fake stuff need to go to jail!! And the thing that concerns me the most are the young people who will have a harder time learning what is real and what is fake and the difference.
@ANPC-pi9vu6 ай бұрын
@@bonblue4993 If lab grown were accurate to the natural material, is wouldn't be 'fake', but those weird lab grown quartz clusters are extremely fragile, too... it's like the molecular structures is more loose some how? If you clink them together they sound like cheapest quality ceramic and not like quartz at all. Weirdest damn thing.
