Buying Gems & Gemstones at the Tucson Gem and Jewelry Shows. Gem Facet Rough, Cabbing Rough, Lapidary, Translucent Sugilite, Translucent Richterite, Faceted Stones,

Fabulous Gem Grade Sugilite

Unbelievable Quality, ULTRA Rare Cornflower Blue Richterite

Collector Display Mineral Specimens, Finished Jewelry fit for a King or Queen. Its the perfect place for buying stones to sell on Ebay. Here is a tip I use for Ebay Sales, Only Buy Stones that are High Quality with really good Color, Good Color stones make the BEST pictures ! and you know how important pictures are !

1. Take lots of Cash, The Dealers come to Tucson from all over the World, And they don't except checks. Cash talks in Tucson for getting good deals and buying.

2. If you can go one day before the shows start, Most Dealers will sell to you early, You will find them all over Tucson in the Hotels.

3. Getting To the Dealers first is very important if you want to buy the best quality goods, Like Sugilite, Uvarovite Drusy, Druzy, That is very popular with Jewellery designer Artisans, Goldsmiths, Silversmiths.

Tucson is a fun place to vacation if your a golfer, or if you like sun during the winter months of January & Febuary. The Tucsons Shows Start around Febuary 1st and last about 2 weeks, So if you can plan on staying one week, there are so many Gem Shows that you will not be able to see them all in a couple days, The weather is mostly ok, It can be cool in the early mornings & evenings, but the daytime is great. There are Buses to Take you to any of the shows, Parking is a problem During the shows, but the buses are very prompt and a great way to get around. You can also Pre-register as a buyer online BEFORE the shows start, If you wait to sign up during the shows, Expect long Lines. .

Gem Stone Dealers Come from all over the World, Hard Rock Miners Bring New Discoveries to unveil first at the Tucson Shows,  Whatever you are looking for in the Jewellery field you will find it in Tucson, Finished Jewelry that will just amaze you, Cabochons, Cabbing Rough, Faceted Stones, Faceting Rough, Cut loose Gems of every Color & Price,  Mineral Specimens for your Display Collections, Tons of Beads and Beading Supplies, Gemological Tools.

 It is the LARGEST Gem & Jewelry Show in the World and well worth attending if you are in the Jewelry Business.
