Tucson Gem Show

I had a very satisfying trip to Tucson, and really liked those 75 degree temps!!! I got lots of great treasures--I was especially happy to get some opal and boulder opal cabs. I also found some nice, freeform labradorite cabs, in addition to some larimar, charoite, seraphinite, and pietersite cabs. I also got some great raw aquamarines, citrines, and turquoise nuggets, and some nice mini slabs of azurite, sonoran sunset, rhodochrosite and larimar. Also, a bunch of cool beads, including amethyst, keshi pearls, spiny oyster and copal. I enjoyed seeing some of my dealer buddies--good luck with the wedding, Deb! And it's always nice to find some new dealers that I will look for next time I go. Tucson is the place to see the biggest and best amethyst cathedrals, and I rather liked these petrified wood benches...
