Yearly trips to the Tucson gem and mineral shows have allowed me to gather some of the coolest materials on earth. Friday night, november 7th we are hosting our gemstone event from 6-9 PM. An amazing collection of stones will be displayed for one evening only. Gemstone lovers will delight in seeing sapphire, tourmaline, garnet, spinel, and many other varieties of gems that we will be showing. Gems are one of the only things that nature creates that man makes more exquisite. Stop in, we look forward to seeing you. Also, next Saturday, Nov. 15th is gallery night. Another opportunity to enjoy what our fabulous downtown has to offer!
