CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Lots of these I photographed in Tucson this last week! This large geode about 30” wide and 34” tall was displayed clasped in a tall brass standing display about 5’ off the floor. Anyone could walk up. From the TCC showcase yesterday, edited to share only the geode “heart”, 2 versions. I even made phone stickers of these that work with text messages. #Heart #ValentinesDay

Ah, another grape chalcedony specimen! I’m celebrating because in half an hour we are setting off on another rockin’ day adventure. To the world’s largest gem and mineral show, Tucson.

This is the first convention center showcase I’ve been to in about 6 years. And when I saw “we”, my son John agreed to come which means Drew gets to come too, with his wheelchair. So, a family adventure today, our “day-cation” 118 miles south. To do this, we have to have both I and John push Drew and wangle the 3 of us around thousands of people in the enormous center. We leave very early in hopes we can score accessible parking. This is EPIC!
