The Celebration of Agate sadly ended today with a time consuming breakdown of all our displays, and carefully putting our jewelry away for the upcoming trip and shows in the U.P.

Rock of Ages agates.
The last day of the show added a good quantity of Fordite to my stash and three pounds of flawless Lake Superior Agates for jewelry in the future. On the whole this trip was worthwhile. Our jewelry was a show hit!
We met many rock people and remember a couple from Connecticut that plan their vacations around rock related activities. They were headed to the Kewenaw and I suggested they check in at the Seaman Museum and see if they can still register for a hunt or two in the Copper Country Mineral Retreat next week. We expect to see them on the rock pile.
The Celebration of Agates was a successful show with seminars, specimens, jewelry, and lots of learning opportunities. If you have never been to a rock show yet, be sure to attend one in your area this year!
