Yesterday hub and I went to the Mineral and Gemstone show in Franklin NJ. It was a very interesting experience and I got to say miles away from SOFA last week. I find it interesting how a world that it’s so “related” in a way, can be so different in attitude. The dealers for the most part were very nice!..
Hub and I got some goodies, it was extremely hard to choose!.. I wanted everything!
We got a whole flat of random stones to decorate the house for a ridiculous price!
I’ve been dying for a Sulfur stone for a while!.. the color is beautiful and bright yellow.
I loved this Jasper that looked like the sky and a mountain reflection. I can’t wait to make a ring out of it!
A very interesting stone cutter made this, I had to have it and I’ll try to make an interesting side ways necklace with it.. not sure what yet. But this is a very interesting piece with five different stones.
I’ve been obsessed with Lapis for a while, I got a good deal with this cab and I think it’ll be great for a necklace for the summer!
This beautiful citrine piece was in my mind the whole day, is a little high for a ring, but you never know!..
I loved the cute of this marcasite/calcite combination. It just have a distinctive character.
Again, when we did our first round, I saw a bright red piece of Vanadinite and wanted it so bad. when I got back, it was sold.. but got this one instead, very beautiful! What was amazing about the last two pieces was that the dealer game the the history of the stones. They were from personal collection and had a history with them.
If you are interested in stones like this, there’s a Mineral show in Secaucus NJ with over 150 dealers!..Check out their website and find a show near you!
