Anyone attending the 2025 Tucson show?

[SouthernGent]

I'm considering attending the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show in February 2025 and was wondering if anyone here has attended before and could offer any suggestions or recommendations for a good experience.
My main goal will be to shop for some faceted gemstones for myself and family.

I'm reviving this instead of making a new thread. I'm wondering who is there and how prices and variety are this year. DesertRose seems to have found a bunch of goodies, but I don't see prices. Anyone heard anything?

Thanks for reviving the thread.
I didn't make it out there, which is probably for the best as I'm scheduled for total knee replacement surgery in a couple of days and probably wouldn't have enjoyed trying to hobble around to the various venues and sellers anyway.
Maybe next year.
Maybe we could get a group of us together and rent a house for a week as a group or something. ‍
