Gems and Rocks and Minerals


I am headed off to a Super Bowl party but wanted to share a few pictures I took at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show this morning. Every year, during the first few weeks of February merchants and buyers come to Tucson from all over the world to show their collections and deal in minerals, rocks, gems, beads, jewelry and jewelry supplies. In the areas that are open to the public there are rugs, baskets, jewelry, decorative minerals and rocks, beads and all kinds of ethnic clothes. With a resale license and some other credentials you can gain entrance to many wholesale venues where you'll find exotic items to buy in bulk. The weather was beautiful and I felt as though I was walking  through a bazaar in a far away land. Take a look...





















Lots of color, lots of inspiration at every turn.
