Back in the ’Hood

It’s always good for the soul to head out on a ”Jewelry Junket”. It’s hard to imagine there are even more gems and minerals out there in the earth when you’ve been to the Tucson Gem and Mineral show. It’s phenomenal. While I did support the economy in my teensy way, I mostly admired this vast display.

The photos I took aren’t even of the most spectacular items we saw, just little snippets. Jewelry is excluded in my “portfolio,” mostly because I couldn’t possibly capture the amount of gems and the scope of sellers in the multitude of venues.

I return home without the giant quartz bathtub, the monstrous minerals, and the stunning fountains for the garden. My finds were smaller in nature and will be adorning my neck.

An idea of a gargantuan rose quartz, along with the deliveries awaiting restocking.
One one millionth of the vendors displaying polished works of art. These are puny in comparison to others.
The gemstone of February, amethyst. Just a little chunk.
