Today, I did a story on the Southeast Gem and Mineral Show being held here in Cartersville this weekend. It’s the largest mineral show in the Southeast. I volunteered to go since it was being held out by Tellus, where Joe works, and I had plans to meet him out there for lunch anyway. I wasn’t really excited about it, but it turned out to be much cooler than I thought it would be. The minerals were all really pretty (yes, that is the scientific term), and I had a *lot* of fun looking at the jewelry. I ended up buying two rings made out of amber.
I also got a Star of David pendant made out of amber, which we’re going to give to Rachel for Hannukah. I really think she’ll like it.
Vendors at the show come from not only all over America but from throughout the world. There were some from India, Pakistan and the Netherlands. And the minerals at this show don’t come cheap. They ranged in price from $5 to several thousand dollars! Insane.
