I don't know if prices are really cheaper in Europe. I have seen Grade B Rose Quartz Spheres selling for $3.50 a pound. Grade A Rose Quartz Spheres selling for about $7.00 a pound. I can't get any idea what Rose Quartz Spheres are selling for in Europe. Being, collectively, these are the largest shows in the World of this nature, I suspect if one looks hard enough, they might find some of the cheapest prices in the World. Another good indicator is the percentage of the crowds that are from foreign countries. I don't think foreigners will travel here if they can purchase some of the items cheaper in their own country.
From what I have seen so far from the shows, Stone/Crystal Angels have increased in cost to purchase. Malachite has become prohibited. I saw a 11 pound (5 kilograms) bag of tumbled Malachite going for $595.00!
Fibrous Malachite, in many cases, is going for less then tumbled Malachite.
There are about 70 shows....... but many of the shows have fewer vendors. Some 'old' time vendors..... did not show up.
