Treasure Trove Of Gems Show, in Sacramento. 2011 here are the links to the photo albums from todays show. ;D Today was just so fun! And I can't wait till the Vally Springs Pow Wow next month! www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.139699839450582.37761.106683069418926&type=1www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.139709916116241.37762.106683069418926&type=1I don't have photos of what I bought, but I got 2 small slab stands for $0.75 each. A 0.5 ounce garnet for $4. I cant wait to tumble it! a cool leather bracelet with purple stings around it, and a little purple heart/peace sign thing on top. 2 small tumbler bits of blue lace agate for $0.25 each! Also found GRIT!!!!! I got 2, 1lb bags of 60/90 grit for $3.45 each, and a little tax! At least I don't have to pay for shipping from kinglsey! And they have a web site, the normal 60/90 grit cost $3.00 at the store..... but Im get that this was a show. So happy I got the grit today! At least I now know there is a local grit dealer, for cheaper! ~Colt

Your welcome Chris! Anyone heard of this stuff? I love this slab! I didn't buy it, but it said this one cost $10. ;D These are a cool idea! lol! Some graveyard point... i think. Stone skull? So this is the bags of grit I got. $3.45 is a good deal IMO for 1lb, and no shipping cost! I bought 2. When I went back to buy the pelets, I realized I was out of money, LOL. This is where I got the garnet chunk. I think it must be more then half ounce. The thing is kinda heavy! ~Colt

Thanks Nate for the info! I kind of wish I bought that Pinolith slab. Or at least found out who the dealer was.

Great finds Colt. FYA 60/90 grit from the Rockshed runs $2.50 per pound in five pound bags and they use flat rate boxes if you ask to cut shipping costs. Kinglsey often has 50# bags on sale with free shipping for $1.95 or so per pound. I buy the Kingsley boxes a lot because i got through lots of 60/90.....Mel
