Just a few point and shoot shots with a crap camera for your perusal. As part of the show staff, it's always a pleasure working to make a successful show for vendors and attendees. Hope everyone had a good time. I come away from these events in a mineral trance. I swear I need to get out into the field.

This is why I like regional shows. These garnets are from a long known, recently developed location an hour from my home. The graphite matrix was carefully abraded on the front and rear in order to shine a light through them. Impressive Garnets to 1 cm or better. |

Not seen in these shots is the subtle, selective green shading that some of these clusters have. I've got it, you heard it here first. Amethyst Verde!! I must trade mark. |

I find the lab grown quartz pretty interesting. It is approaching natural looking crystal. Maybe not. |

The flat wafers seen are the seeds that are suspended from wires in an autoclave. |
