Back from Tucson

Hi Ladies! I don't mean to invoke jealous rages, but I just returned from Tucson and the gem shows and THOROUGHLY enjoyed myself! Of course, spending lots of money will do that! I bought lots of cabochons and some rough for cabbing, but my FAVORITE purchase were these small faceted opal beads from a dealer direct from Australia. I only paid $200, which I thought was a deal, considering Opex Opal was selling something similar for 5 times that price.

They're pretty small, but they have great color and I am looking forward to wearing them! Maybe I'll wear these for a while, sell them in the Fall and then buy myself a BIGGER strand next year??


I'm not spending ANY more money on gems- at least this year! :) Dana

No rages, but definitely jealous. :-)
