denver gem and mineral show!

well, glenn and i had a date today. mimi and pops kept the girls and we went to the denver gem and mineral show, then the wynkoop brewery downtown. it was AMAZING! i spent a lot more than i intended to, that's for sure. but here's what i got:

from top to bottom, left to right: flourite, fossilized algae, picasso jasper, septarian nodules, tiffany stone, cobaltan calcite druzy, crysoprase, prehnite, opal, rocky butte jasper

prehnite and chrysoprase, from australia

and this here is shamus, also from australia. his prices were absolutely incredible!

Very lovely stones you bought. I really need to build up my collection. What you just bought is probably more than I have total. Our gem show is this weekend. Yay! I get so excited a few nights before I can't sleep. I can't stop thinking about the treasures I'm going to find there. Have fun creating!
