#Gemshows - Buying "Green" at Gem & Mineral Shows...OR Meeting TV's #Prospectors

October 3, 2014, 7:28 pm

≫ Next: #Gemshows - You're Invited to the Contra Costa Crystal Fair...

≪ Previous: #Gemshows - #October Club Shows - Retail

People have been asking - about buying in bulk or for resale and Wholesale Shows - some Club Shows have vendors that are able to offer wholesale pricing...and whether they are wholesale or retail, always ask for a quantity discount.

I also have a list of Commercial or Wholesale Shows that usually follows the posting of the Local Club Shows - Retail list!

Why do I LOVE Club Shows - you can't get more green than some of the folks you meet at a Club Show - most not only sell gems but they Dig the Gems AND Cut the Gems!

Some of my favorites? Have you seen the "Prospectors"? It is a new show on The Weather Channel - well not exactly NEW, their 3rd season starts this November!

There was a Prospectors area at the recent Denver Shows...

....AND WHAT CAN YOU FIND IN COLORADO?

DORRIS FAMILY = SMOKEY HAWK CLAIM

BUSSE FAMILY - JEWELRY FROM MT. ANTERO AQUAMARINE

TRAVIS & AMANDA'S SMOKEY SPHERE

TRAVIS & AMANDA AQUAMARINE AND PERIDOT

COLORADO'S FAMOUS RHODOCROSITE

MT. ANTERO AQUAMARINE

STUNNING SMOKEY QUARTZ

"THE GREEN SCREAM" RECORD SETTING FACETED COLORADO PERIDOT
