Denver Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show



 
So we decided to travel to the free Denver Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show at the Denver Coliseum.
 

 
There we're lots of beads for sale for cheap.

 
A nice quartz sample.  A sizeable investment.

 
Some awesome Purple Amethyst for sale.

 
Six foot tall Amethyst Geode's.

 
Another quartz conglomerate.

 
More Quartz.

 
The King of the Quartz.  $15000.

 
Colorful little trees.  Made from Bondo, hotglue, and colored plastic.  Tricky Guy!

 
This guy was all like "Get in I'll take you to the main entrance", from the tent display area in the parking lot.
 

 
Inside.


 
Salt serving platters.


 
A lot of fancy products well beyond our budget!

 
Amethyst Art.

 
Megan on the main floor!
 
 
Crazy stone.

 
Back outside looking at the "Mom-N-Pop" Vendors

 
The typical spread vendors had selling their specimens. Average anywhere between $8-$100+ depending on the mineral.
 
 
Browsing
 

 
We went from the gem show down the road to Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies.  Cruised around then found a tavern to wet our whistle.

 
Coors Field Entrance

 
Have to see a game here.

 
We bought some Pink Himalayan Salt and some Magnetic Hematite Stones!  Big spenders! 
 
 
 
This upcoming week high temperatures are in the 70s in Denver, which means 50s and 40s in the mountains.  Early signs of seasonal change?  We'll be venturing back into the mountains soon with more blogage!

  1. Loved the quartz. If could have worn as a pendant, I would have said to buy! Salt looks great.
