Interesting read! I usually don't attend the fossil and mineral shows, so this was a pleasant surprise

OT -- You're in Minnesota? Where abouts?

Thanks, Tsavy, it was fun to attend and write about. Barbara, I'm in Rochester, MN, the same city as Arya. We've met already and I'm planning to photograph his gemstones for him when he get back from his trip.

Thanks for reading!

Make mine iced tea and you've got a deal! Let me know if you make it up to the Twin Cities area and we can plan the same

Sweet pictures Beryllagem! (Not sure if you have your name on here, so I won't use it.) Definitely a fan of seeing those "X on Y" mineral specimens. And yeah, Barb is up in the Cities, so at some point the three of us should get together and do gems :mrgreen:

Thanks, Arya. You can use my name here.

Nice to see you last week. I posted your gems on my Google+ site and had lots of compliments.

Are either of you planning to attend the G&LW Wholesale Gem/Jewelry Show & Sale happening at the Ramada Mall of America April 7 & 8?

Nope...I'll be doing trauma surgery for that entire week, so I won't have time. :mrgreen:
