Before-and-after, at least 24 hours of setup (thanks to my son Kobi for coming and helping me), we're ready for the 2025 Tucson Gem Show at 22nd Street. Have a look at what we have in store for the tens of thousands of visitors that have already begun streaming in for this 18 day show: Jan. 30 thru Feb. 16. Display pieces; pendants & bracelets; Sugilite & Moldavite; as well as carvings.

If you missed last week's Podcast #12, HERE is my YouTube PODCAST playlist, for you to check out all the other ones. I cover SO many topics. We're also on Spotify, Apple, etc.

PLUS, I'll be selling at the following show:

• Tucson Gem Show on 22nd St. Jan. 30-Feb. 16, 2025 INFO

In the meantime, any (and every) day - our Portal Crystal Gallery is open 7 days a week - in Arlington Center, MA at 489 Mass. Ave. from 1-4pm (starting at noon on Saturdays)

I love recognizing the style and selection of vendors I’ve followed for years. Tucson is an annual check-in with many moments of discovery and rediscovery. Even familiar material feels new and fresh and oh-so abundant. What you're looking at here is another warehouse showroom, the type I shopped in advance of setting myself up at one of the biggest shows in town. Already I've sold some of the items I picked up before load-in. It's a great cycle of sharing awesome minerals with the general public. Email Kyle@CrystalConcentrics.com with interest.

My much-anticipated appearance in Tucson on ON - Thursday was opening day - and I have 16 more 8-hour days ahead of me. 

I'm cautiously optimistic about how things will go from here on it - people are responding well to my offerings - and there's a pleasure (as a seller) unique to Tucson, of serving people who get it, know what they're looking at, and aren't afraid to spend money on whatever it is they want. 

I'm grateful for the release of hostages to Israel - it's been a bit of a background story - given my 12 hour work days. May the rest - and the deceased - be liberated soon. The new US administration is both a blessing(?) and a curse, in a reverse way, than the previous administration was...it's weird...and concerning.
