Marco Campos, Gems in Gems has always been my favorite stone vendor in Tucson. Every year he features different wondrous curiosities. His collection is not to miss.

My 2 regrets for missing Tucson this year are not seeing Alberto and Mikko and not having the opportunity to blow my wad at Gems in Gems.

Is that all he'll be displaying this year?



I have to admit, I drop a fair amount of time and $$$ on this collection annually. It is still my highlight of the show.

Me too, they are the only vendor I specifically seek out each time i'm in Tucson.
