Today is the last day for the last of the shows. One month has went by since the shows began. Now back to normalcy.

Tucson shows are beginning....... again.

Went to one show today. Bought 4 things. It just happened that show had 'jumped the gun' and started early. I noticed another show was opened. I guess there will be some shows going on for a month or two.

I bought 2 really nice Angel Aura Cactus Quartz specimens. I bought a really nice Brucite specimen. I find Brucite to be beautiful in her own right and another crystal.

This year, the GIA Alumini Association is going to have a Night at the New Gem and Mineral Museum which is part of the University. I got my invite so got to reserve my reservation.

Sounds like a great buy. Brucite has my attention too. I need to learn more about it. Have fun!

I have been buying small pieces of Aquamarine from one dealer. He has a tremendous amount of it. Some of it is in my price range to pieces over $2500.00. Each day, I have went and bought a few of the cheap pieces. I have felt good about my 'achievements'. Today, I went and bought a few pieces, went out to my vehicle, which was about 40 steps away, drank a few sips of coffee and returned. During that short period of time...... maybe 10 minutes, one person came and bought all of the Aquamarine!

That is how crazy these shows can get!

And this show opens 'officially' next week!

Wow that's a quick buyout. I sure would like to go some day, but would need to make it as part of a side trip or it won't be worth it. Maybe adding a stop in Sedona would make it worth it.

The shows are still going on.
There was an International Gem auction a few days ago. One vendor showed me a thick, high quality book of the items up for sale. I was surprised two of the items originally came from him.

As for me, I bought more then I expected; as usual.

From those who I talked to so far, nobody has seen any of the Chinese Distributors. This has caused a lot of things to be more expensive.

As for me, I got some specimens I never thought I would ever own.
