Anybody excited for Tucson?

I am very excited myself, this will be my first time in Tucson. I saved up so much $$$ for this moment. I'm finally able to go and spend so much quality time with all the vendors that came this year to the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show. I'll be there for a few days, not for the full two weeks. Some point, I have to come home back to Florida. Anybody else excited? Who's going? Who's not but wish they were? What are some things you're looking forward to seeing or taking home? Let me know! I would like to hear all about it! 😇💙👍️

To see pretty rocks?

@TryingtoLava Of course, if that's what you like! There's also fossils, minerals, jewelry, vendors that showcase and sell their own personal products as well. There's also vendors who sell furniture or centerpieces using specific stones like cabinets made out of Rose Quartz, a bathtub made out of Moroccan White Quartz, and or a bathroom sink made out of Brazilian Amethyst Druzy. As a crystal healer, I tend to focus more on the vendors that sell crystals and gemstones that specifically align with a more spiritual approach to practice. There are a few stones that I've been trying to get my hands on but the market is kind of tricky and one of those stones, which is "Larimar" is very hard to find at a reasonable price. An authentic piece at that, real Larimar is found in the DR (Dominican Republic).

This is Larimar found in the Dominican Republic, beautiful stone! <3 These are the tumbled & polished ones which aren't as expensive as the raw & natural ones. Both are equally amazing in quality, depending on what you prefer. I always have to be aware though when I do go shopping that I know the difference because there are some Larimar being sold elsewhere by different vendors in which could just be glass painted like Larimar or anything close that stone being altered. Meaning fake Larimar but still visually appealing to the eye.

@JustSimplyMe what do ya do with them?

The physical aspect of Larimar is that it is a beautiful stone to use it as jewelry. You can have it professionally made into an earring, stud piece, and rings. If you're crafty like me, you could also make your own necklace and or bracelets with it. I personally, use it for healing purposes. Spiritually speaking. Larimar is a stone that represents peace, clarity, and radiating healing with love. It has medicinal purposes that may aid in helping with stress. Larimar itself is believed to help us view events from different perspectives, it softens and heals the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels of our manifestations. I would love to use Larimar in my practice as well, especially when it comes gridding and or chakra meditation.
