oh wow! gorgeous--both of them. I don't know that I've ever seen the red-orange laboradite anywhere before. I love it!
oooh, by chance would that be in the Syracuse, NY area? I recall seeing the Pagan Pride Day advertised I think...its sometime in September this year, I believe. I'd LOVE to go to it, sometime.
oh! The hubby & I are headed back to AZ in March 2017 again. I can't wait! I LOVE AZ - (in the early spring, late fall or winter time that is.... ) We are headed this time to Sedona, Jerome and taking a few days to visit the Grand Canyon too. Now, I know when you were in Tucson this year---you went to that one gem shop I mentioned...but if you know of any other great gem shops in the areas we're going to in 2017, please do share!!! Thank you!
OMG yes it is the one in Syracuse. I go every year (travel 4-5 goes for it!) and often perform with my band and give workshops. I'll be there this year giving a workshop on Sound and Song as Religious/Ritual Tools or something. I would freak out if you could come- it's 9/17 this year, always around the Autumn Equinox. The CNY one is the best I've ever been to.
Honestly, the shop you recommended to me was the best by far- but we did stop by one other shop near the Grand Canyon, which is where I got my new big chunk of labradorite and a few other worthwhile finds. There was a lot that was very overpriced, but some really good deals as well! Let me see... Crystal Forest Museum and Gifts in Holbrook!
