GORGEOUS Peruvian Opal!!!
That was our big finding at the Gem Fair this past weekend! Both Rosie and I were continually drawn to it and finally, after recruiting our mother to our cause, it was decided that we simply had to buy it. Yes, we dragged our poor mother to the Gem Fair Sunday, along with my two kiddos. It was quite the scene indeed. Rose and I had attended on Friday and went back for a last look Sunday afternoon.
We also scored some tourmaline, peridot, iolite, andolite, labradorite, pearls and lots and lots of teeny, tiny, faceted stones. For some reason, it was the tiny stones that kept grabbing my eye. I may regret that purchase later as I curse from trying to thread them. Regardless, we got out of there with a lovely stash of stones, some wonderful chain and some findings too!
As much as I wanted a strand of gorgeous green diamonds, I stayed grounded enough to know that I just couldn't buy those no matter how much I coveted them (seriously, my house payment is more important but they sure were beautiful).
All this means is that we have lots and lots of creating to do! Woo Hoo!
