Sunny and 83 (Al Roker said Traverse City Michigan is expecting 10 inches of snow).We interpret this to mean 14-16 inches of snow in our driveway back home. Smile.
Pyrite Crystals from Navajun, Spain. There was a whole room full.
Canadian Ammonites. These are always $5,000 ++.
Today we made a return trip to the Arizona Mineral and Fossil show at the Hotel Tucson City Center. Bonnie had not seen the world record Uruguay amethyst or anything else at this show. The show is coming to an end and many vendors were starting to pack up,.
Moroccan Crocodiles abound in Tucson
Bonnie bought some new display items for our booth, and I enjoyed looking at ammonites. We enjoyed talking with the guys at Agates by Rock of Ages and we rummaged through their extensive bins with many types of agate slabs.. The agates keep drawing us in.
A fine Meteorite mount. I did not get the source.
Mastodon Leg just standing outside a room
I observed a full mastodon leg that still had some skin and hair on it. Check out the picture, if you don’t believe me.
The fiberglass dinosaurs were still fighting in the courtyard, and it looked like those raptors were not making much headway.
Old Collection, unknown what mine in the Keweenaw
I talked to Ken Flood from Keweenaw Gem and Gift, and he showed me a beautiful copper crystal specimen that has been featured in his booth.
Bonnie loves the colors of Australia’s Queensland Agate, or Agate Creek agates. She found some agate treasures there that we will have at the Agate Expo this summer, agate stretch bracelets and cute little rain forest jasper frogs. They look like they would be well camouflaged in a real rain forest.
Sea life at the rock show
We were happy to return to our RV and I even cut some of those agate slabs on my saw, getting ready for the next step on the grinder.
PS-The Internet at the RV Park has been so sporadic it’s difficult to do a whole blog without some sort of getting knocked off, losing data, or not being able to sign on; so frusrating to get a blog done, and have to start all over. I’ve foiled this, what I believe to be a communist plot, by doing the blog at 3am. So I’ve corrected this blog this morning. I know you guys have been checking out this blog, and I really appreciate it after all the effort.
