That’s sad. Were you going to look for anything in particular?

That’s sad. Were you going to look for anything in particular? Mostly I just wanted to check out the show in general. Right now I’m only tumbling, so I was wondering if they would have rough rock for that. I would also like to look at the fancier rocks, like cabs and specimens and rock jewelry and nice things like that. I haven’t been to a show like this before, so I was looking forward to seeing what it was all about! 😁

I don’t recall rough rocks for tumbling ever being at our show.
HOWEVER, we have periodic rock sales at the home of a member. It is here you can get plenty tumbling rocks, most of them free. All other rocks are sold at below market since we are trying to move the rocks, not store them.

You can join the PGGS club: pggs.org/ and they will send out periodical announcements. There are quite a few rock sales/events happening in the Redwood City which might be a slightly more manageable drive for you.

It looks like there are a ton of shows in California this year. I'll definitely have to check out a few of them!

There's got to be a way to post more than one photo at a time!
