Gem and Mineral Show

Yesterday Jerry and I registered for two of the four large wholesale shows at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show. As usual it boggled my mind...one simply can not imagin that there can be that many gems in one place....The J and LW show has two huges spaces, each with over two hundered dealers. Many of them are from all around the world and every contentent.

Because it was the first day there was a lot of unpacking...power outages and additional glitches.

Here piles of beads for $1.50 per strand Bali Silver by the kilo

Here is a long view showing one of the hundreds of tables.

more beads and more beads of every imaginabele color and shape . Monday we will see what is at the other venue. Later in the week we will visit the fosil and geode shows. You have to do this in stages.
