I was going through my Tucson Gem Show photos and found some that I haven’t posted! This is from the great day I spent with the FAB Jeweler, Maureen Brusa Zappellini (BZap), of Cosmo’s Moon, and her charming son Cosmo.
The scene – the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show – this is the show produced by the Tucson Gem & Mineral Society and the show that started it all!!! It started as a public show and has remained a public show…however the vendors will accept wholesale orders from eligible buyers.
This is what makes the “public” shows a “must do” for me…you find the nicest vendors…they truly inspire the next generation of gem and mineral collectors…
This woman spent quite a while talking to Cosmo and answering his questions about beads and gems! …can I get a collective – AWWWWWW!
…and then there is the hallway of schools and organizations – this was a display from the US Forestry Dept. – kids could do rubbings of fossils!
You might be interested in the theme for the TGMS Show for 2011 – Minerals of California! See you there:
