This year it was a little more difficult to find decent prices. Silver has officially blown past $20 per oz. today, and is nipping at $21. This is the scenario the vendors at Tucson were worried about, so many of them weren't willing to wheel and deal the way they were back when silver was $12.
There was lots of moldavite at the show, but most was really expensive. I did find some nice pendants though after searching high and low. I also got some terrific golden sheen obsidian, lots of charoite and seraphinite (sister stones from Siberia), Indian cross stone, some rubies set in sterling silver jewelry at wholesale prices, and some lovely green amethyst.
I'm gearing up for my trip to Thailand later this month. With the dollar all beat up and silver through the roof, it should be challenging!
