''Scopers!
Even though I have my prior purchases from last week which will be photo''d this weekend now that my husband got the one flight out of DC this week, LOL, I have to tell someone who will appreciate this my experience at The Gem & Mineral Show at the Convention Center put on by the Tucson Gem & Mineral Society.
''Kay. Keep in mind I pretty much spent my entire budget last week.
So Bob and I go by the Bridges Tsavorite Company booth and unlike for the trade show, they had specimens out! Bob bought a spectacular beryl crystal, I''ll get a pic posted with an object next to it for scale. So I had the fun of talking to the Bridges, buying my husband a great item he loved, and hearing hoi palloi asking "How much is that green ring?" of Bruce, LOL.
So after we finish there, I want to go to the Gemfix booth, congratulate Andrew Gulij on his cutting award of this year/show, and to let him know his peridot I bought was being sent by Julia KT right now. I mentioned I was shut out of the spessies at the show last week.
Oh. My. God. Andrew got out several trays of great spessies and one in particular had the Fanta color, it was cushion cut by Andrew just beautifully, lot of sparkle and fire, and about 7.96 ct. Pretty much eye clean. When the drool cleared, I realized:
I HAD ALREADY SPENT MY MONEY LAST WEEK. He made me an insane offer but still, I COULD NOT DO IT!
I''ll probably be remembering that moment when I''m 92.
And it that was not enough, he had lovely, lovely spessie cabs, sugarloaves, ovals, very very clean and very glowly. Good good prices.
I moped my way through the rest of the show. According to Bob, I was no longer good company, hee.
If those spessies must go to other homes, it should be PS-ers.
THese stones are not pictured on his site but he would send you off a pic.
If you buy that Fanta stone, I want you to call it "Christina!!!!"
