While most of the country was busy shivering and scraping ice off windshields, we traveled to the grand opening of the world’s largest gem & mineral show in Tucson, AZ.
Temps were in the upper 80s, we were rocking T-shirts and sun hats, and winter felt like a distant myth.
The things you find at these shows are unbelievable… look at this beautiful "Earthkeeper" we sure gave it a big hug and enjoyed its energy!
