I finally remembered to take some pictures today - but only at one venue :) We were at the Howard Johnson hotel show this morning and went wandering around to see the fossils and gemstone rough. I always like to see what the beautiful stones and gems that I use look like before the get cut and polished. Here are a few of the gemstones in the rough.

And here are some cool fossils. I don't remember what the names of the critters are and I'm too lazy to look them up :)
And here's Manny from El Paso Rock Shop who answered our questions about the various stones and cracked open a few geodes so we could see the crystals inside.
And here I am in front of a mongo crystal
