Anyone else going or already gone? -------------------- Lifetime Member opera non verba "All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it's impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively.

I was too busy trying to make sure we didn't lose a kid in the crowd, or preventing them from touching specimens priced well outside my budget. There were some gorgeous samples available. My favorites were the meteorites (KD something meteorites), and the guy who owned the malachite/azurite mine in Utah. I was tempted to pick up something from him, primarily since he was one of the few miners there among hundreds of dealers. "Aura quartz" seemed to be a big thing this year. I had to look up how they make it. Overall, it was pretty cool, but it wasn't the best show I've been to here in Denver. -------------------- Lifetime Member opera non verba "All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it's impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively.
