Gem Show-February 13, 2013

We went to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show today. Well, we went to part of it. This is the largest gem show in the entire United States. There are 40 different venues with hundreds of exhibitors. After 2 1/2 hours of walking we managed to get through two of the venues. Only 38 more to go. We saw some spectacular gems and jewelry. We managed to buy a couple of very small gifts for later this year. There was one jeweler who was selling emerald jewelry. The emerald was a gorgeous light green, sort of milky mint green. It was beautiful. I didn't even ask the price. And the second unusual stone was an Oregon Sunstone, a form of crystal containing copper streaks. It was absolutely stunning. I walked away without it also. We may try to hit a dozen or so tomorrow and then go see other things. We can't pass it up because we will never see this much jewelry in one location again. I wish they would let me take pictures. It was something to see. One lady there was selling handmade leather products. Jerry got a really nice leather iPhone holster which he really needed.

 

Enjoy your day tomorrow and have a Happy Valentine's Day!
