News From The Shop
This month I’m pleased to announce that new treats and treasures from the annual Tucson Gem Show have arrived! Kathleen and Noelle spent days hand picking many new semi-precious stone beads and cabochons, chain, findings and fossil pieces for your viewing and pur-chasing pleasure.
Having to turn down the opportunity to go this year myself, I anxiously awaited their return with the boxes and bags of new stones and product we look forward to every year. The fun of this buying trip is getting out of the world of catalogs, meeting the vendors, and being able to pick up and hold stones in your hands before purchasing them.
Standing out this year is, the beautiful Red Creek Jasper cabs and large beads, full of red, greens and gorgeous veins of cream and dark brown this jasper just calls out “create with me”. This gem show is so massive and you never know what you’ll find around the next corner or on the next table of gems, like the red, gold and clear vintage glass reflectors, the pyrite ammonites and of course turquoise, turquoise, turquoise. So come on, check out our new goodies and add to your own treasure box! Remember, many of these treasures can not be reordered so when they are gone, they are gone. -Ryan

Tucson!
Just a quick update. Noelle and Kathleen have been in Tucson now for 4 days and have we found some wonderful treasures? Yes we have. We have have some of the nicest cabs we have ever carried and at really good prices this year. We found little tiny 2mm stone beads in many different stones, crystal beads, abalone beads (really cool ones), meteorite beads, sweet little round garnets, turquoise as well as pearls and more pearls. That is just a tiny selection of what we are getting. No kidding, we are bringing back lots of different treasures this year.
