#WordlessWednesday - Fine Mineral Show - Westward Look #TucsonGemShow

Probably THE quintessential mineral show in Tucson - the Westward Look Show is the go to for Museum Curators, Connoisseurs and Collectors alike.

Here is a look around....first up THE COLLECTOR'S EDGE - love these guys and I have never left their room without learning something new!

This Green Quartz from China was everywhere this year

One of my personal show favorites!

#TucsonGemShow - Take A Walk With Me Through The AGTA Gemfair Part One #agtagemfair17

The AGTA Gemfair is a "Trade Only" show and because they can't get in, people ask what it's like.  First, let me kill that rumor - yes it is "trade only", but if you have a pass for JCK, GJX, Holidome, any other trade show in Tucson you can get in to the Tools, Tech and Teaching area and the Galleria level,

AGTA Gemfair is like having the opportunity to see all the components that go into a "Red Carpet Design" in an elegantly appointed environment.

I always tell people that you have to go to the AGTA show to see the gems dreams are made of...

Lets start with the Smithsonian Exhibit!

...and the "Meet The Authors" events were Fabulous!!!
