Weekend Vendor Spotlight on Rob Lowe Assoc.

The Rob Lowe booth at GJX is always slammed and don't be surprised if you run into some of the biggest names in faceting! ...which is an obvious indicator of the quality and reputation of this company's product.  Whether it is facet rough, pre-forms or cut gems you can count on the Rob Lowe booth!  Rob is easy to work with and always carries the rare stones that make your work stand out from the crowd and if "chain of custody" is important to you...he deals direct with the mine and can tell you exactly where your rough came from.

My apologies to Rob - these cases were jammed full but I didn't get over to photograph them until the last day...

Vendor Spotlight: Archy's Rock Shop

Archy of Archy's Rock Shop has to be one of the most personable guys you will ever want to meet - he is willing to answer source questions - cuts his own rocks and is a real delight to work with.

This was one of the days that I got to hang out with the lovely and talented Maureen Brusa Zapellini of CosmosMoon,which was a treat in itself (girl's only - we took Cosmo to a different show).

You could literally get lost in the number of gorgeous cabs in almost every variety you could be looking for...Maureen peruses the beauty.

Lets's get a little closer...this is a family operated business that Archy runs with his sons.

For those of you that are into re-purposing...Archy's has Fordite, Boatite, and Bowling Ball Cabs...

This is one of the reasons I really love the Tucson Gem Shows - you get to meet the person behind the website...so...check out Archy's Rock Shop next time you are looking for something different.
