Gemstone Show

written:  November 19th

Hazel and I got up and headed over to Gem & Mineral Show today. It was so cool and I am so glad we went.

I think I’m just going to let the photos speak for themselves.

Pyrite sand dollar:

Like holy shit! Look at how gorgeous this is. I definitely want to get one in the future. I think it would be BEAUTIFUL to set Sekhmet’s statue on it. It looks like a sun disk.

Ribbon jasper carved pendant – it’s hard to tell from the photo but this is a Werewolf. Like how freaking cool?

Mosasaur teeth:

I really meant to go back and pick up a few of these, but I got distracted. ::chuckles::

CAVE BEAR:

Like holy shit! Luckily for me they didn’t have any Cave Lion or American Lion fossils. That would have been so dangerous to my bank account. ::chuckles::

Now, on to the stuff that I did purchase:

Larvikite beads:

These are just gorgeous. They have this iridescent sheen to them.

Sometimes milky white (like Moonstone).

And sometimes blue (like Labradorite).

Then, there is this pendant I picked up by the same guy selling the Werewolf pendant. He called it an angel….but angels don’t like tits like that. This is a Harpy. And holy hell, are my Harpies twittering about this pendant and the Larvikite beads. I will apparently be making them a necklace in the near future.

And from the lady that I purchased the Larvikite beads, I picked up this snake totem stone. Every time I walked past this lady’s table, my eyes would land on this one stone in a basket of stones. Once I knew I was getting the Harpy Pendant, I knew I needed some beads. And once I knew I would be getting the Larvikite beads, that snake stone was coming with me as well. ::chuckles::

So yeah, for next year, I plan to start saving a little bit of money from each paycheck. The stones there were top quality and dirt fucking cheap. And I need to remember to bring CASH. One guy there are DIRT FUCKING CHEAP, top notch stones, but he only took cash. So I need cash next time around.
