Rolling Rocks
Rolling rocks have become more and more popular. This is the largest I have seen thus far. The person in the background is a friend of ours whom we met in Tucson




Large Crystals
Some tent vendors have some very large crystals in the price range of tens of thousands of dollars. Some of these can be seen by the general public.
The crystal in this picture glows from a light source at its base.




Moroccan Fossils
Fossils coming from Morocco are everywhere. They appear to be larger and more plentiful.




Downtown
There are several hotels, many tents, and street vendors that provide a horn of plenty for all accommodating tastes. Some of these shows are wholesale only.
The items available included gemstones, gem rough, beads, settings, minerals, lapidary and jewelry equipment and supplies.
This view was found when I was walking the downtown area before the shows opened.
