Tucson Here We Come!

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 24th Jan 2017

We are off in the morning to Tucson.  I feel like I haven't been home since the holidays.  Tomorrow we will stop in Phoenix and pick up the trailer.  A big THANK YOU to Bill for moving it to their house from Quartzsite.  It saved us considerable time driving back and forth.  

I have my wish list prepared.  Amazonite, Turkish stick agate to name a few.  will also be on the lookout for anything new and unusual.  Being I did so much shopping in Quartzsite, I so not feel a burning urge to show for rough.  I believe I have sufficient types of rocks to keep me busy for the entire year.  

I couldn't resist to start on the Dead Camel Jasper.  The piece I picked has a large amount of blue on the 2 sides I cut today.  The other saws were cutting slabs of material I sold out of at the Pow Wow.  Next show is a slab show and will be here before I know it.  

I have also managed to wash all the spheres that I had taken.  What a mess.  All the spheres are nice and clean, their liners washed and also the travel boxes.  The slabs will be a much larger undertaking and will have to wait until I get back.  

No sphering today.   :-(
