Our Tucson adventure began with seeing this coyote near my parent’s house. He sat there while several people photographed him. I think he was posing!
We had a few days to hang out with my parents before setting up our booth for the Tucson Gem Show. We explored the Sonoita Wine Country, just a little over an hour away.

This was our booth at the Miner’s Co-op showcase at this year’s Tucson Gem Show. The show went from April 8th - 25th. We had three separate “shops”, to the left was the raw materials and slabs, the middle section was cut stones and high end specimens, the right section was jewelry.
We sold quite a bit of our Avropium Gems Silica matrix stone find! People were naturally drawn to it and we sold slabs, raw and cabochons.
We had sections of Gigi Moon Jewelry, Cosmic Aether Jewelry and other jewelry.
This year’s Tucson Gem Show was definitely strange compared to other years. It wasn’t nearly as busy as last years. There were only 25 out of 49 showcases. I was so grateful to be there even though it wasn’t as busy as normal. The last day, a huge F-0 strength dust devil flew right into our booth. Thank goodness our trailer took the brunt of it and only one canopy and a few pieces of jewelry were damaged. It toppled over a few of the other vendors tents, too, but luckily no one was seriously injured. We went out with a bang, I’d say!
The best part of having the gem show in April vs February was seeing the Saguaro cactus and other desert plants bloom.
After the show ended, we spent some time with Scott’s “Viking” friend, Roark, who took us in a hike to see the, “ancients”. Petroglyphs from thousands of years ago.
We saw the sun set about four different times as we hiked back. It was absolutely gorgeous!
My favorite score from the Tucson Gem Show was the elusive, unicorn rare BLUE GARNET!!!
For years, it was common knowledge in the gem world that Garnets come in every color BUT blue. I’ve always believed they would discover a blue garnet in my life time, and, finally, they have! What’s even more exciting is that they change color in different light!!
Behold, the extremely rare Color Change Blue Garnets from Tanzania!
These Tanzanian gems change from from blue in daylight to purple in incandescent light.
These are 1.5mm - 1.8mm in size. I made myself the first stacker ring and will offer them for sale at $70 on my website. I’m so grateful snd excited to have one and some to offer. I will also be uploading new Chakra Gem Necklaces, one of a kind Lemurian Seed Crystal and Citrine necklaces, and a Palo Santo crystal perfume blend so stay tuned!
I hope everyone enjoyed this full moon in Scorpio!
Love and light to everyone!
