I have been so busy today trying to get material sorted and caught up with everything since I have been gone I failed to mention one of the HIGHLIGHTS of the Opal show......I got to meet our very own Steveo in the flesh at the show!! I REALLY enjoy meeting members in person!! He was only around for a little while as he had to get back home from his vacation. It was indeed a pleasure have had the chance to meet him.

Me too!!! I sat around a little to see if he was actually selling any. People were buying them!! Even the fire agate rough was pricey. The rough was going for $20 minimum a piece. These were average sized pieces like in my parcels and the color in most were not quite up to what I release. Of course for more $$ you could get better, but I guess I am just use to being closer to the dirt if you know what I mean.

Thank you everyone. I look forward to this show every year. There are usually some very informative and educational seminars held during the show also. I would strongly suggest to any of our members to attend this show if possible. It is held in November in Anaheim, CA.
