I loved the glittery necklaces from Firefly Designs:

...and these crazy man-made beads that seemed to have a light within!



In the big tent - GJX - Jefferey Bergman had these amazing sapphires along with his incredible collection of Trapiche Sapphire:


Rob Lowe had gorgeous bi-color and watermelon Tourmaline:


I shared a table with a woman who through this gem to me and asked if I knew what it was (FYI - it was the size of my thumb!):
