Tuscon Gem and Mineral Show 2020

 We went to the Tuscon Gem and Mineral Show in February 2020 to collect more rare and beautiful crystals and precious stone pendants and rondelles to design more Kblossoms jewelry! We attended 4 gem shows in Tuscon Arizona: The Pueblo Gem and Mineral Show, 22nd Street Mineral Gem and Fossil Show, Kino Gem Show, and Jogs Gem and Mineral Show. Many of the Tuscon hotels and city was converted into gem showrooms and tents. They even used hotel rooms as show rooms! I loved the huge deep grape color purple amethyst hearts and angel wing geodes from Uruguay. My favorite crystals were the clear quartz and citrine spheres and towers illuminated by lights. The Tuscon Gem and Mineral show is the largest in the country with great wholesale prices. I was so happy to hand select some amber, larimar, london blue topaz, emerald quartz, and green amethyst tear drop crystals and pink ruby rondelle pieces to create jewelry designs with. I bought some beautiful golden yellow and burgundy red baltic amber gold floral lining pendants from Poland.
      A trip to Tuscon wouldn't be complete without visiting the beautiful Saguero National Park and Sabino Canyon. We went to see the tall saguero cactuses in the rain among storm clouds. Sabino Canyon has a beautiful mountains, creeks, and waterfall hikes you can do in a day. Just visit their visitor center for some suggestions. The saguero cactuses stand tall and have arms that seem to wave to you and they are so unique. We hiked among the sagueros in rainy conditions on this trip. We hope to come back one day to see the beautiful pink orange sunsets in the Saguero National Park, the classic Arizona sunset. Hope you like all the handmade precious stone jewelry I designed from the stones and crystals I bought at the Tuscon Gem Show!
