I finally got some pictures to upload on photobucket of the gem and mineral show here in Helena so thought I'd share them with you all. It was a great show even though I spent most of my time helping out at the silent auction and didn't get to browse around much. We had 26 vendors, 23 showcases, and lots of happy rockhounds. View of the show from above - in the back you can see the fluorescent tent, to the left are display cases, and in front of the tent is a table with wire wrapping demonstrations going on. Silent Auction and Mineral society area - I spent most of the show helping out with the silent auction but took a moment to snap this shot of the area from upstairs. Mineral specimens from Butte, MT - covelite, pyrite, rhodochrosite, and galena - Butte is known for copper mining One of the vendors - he had some nice slabs of forest fire plume agate, bruneau jasper, and ocean jasper Intarsia display Garnet Hunt - we get garnet gravel from a site we go to every year plus we add some other goodies like quartz crystals and then put them in glass plates over lights and let people hunt for all the goodies. Thanks for coming to the show - at least in pictures.
