My husband and I went to the East Coast Gem and Mineral Show yesterday and it was mesmerizing, so many gorgeous pieces to see! And the vendors are so happy to share any information they have with you...it is most definitely a passion for them!
I'm not a "beader" by any stretch of the imagination, but if I was, boy oh boy would I have been in my glory!
These beads were just one little section of the beads available yesterday...!
These cabochons weren't even a half percent of what we saw!
My favorite of all were the minerals, though; to think that such masterpieces are a natural occurrence in nature is mind-blowing to me.
This is gold in its natural form, and this piece went for thousands and thousands of dollars. I don't remember exactly how much, except that some pieces we saw were $75,000!
Pyrite, one of my husband's favorites.
We did purchase a small piece to have at home, but only a small one!
I can see how, once you get started collecting gems and minerals, you'll be hooked for life. These pieces were just hypnotic!
