A promise is a promise. Here are the pictures, in fact, lots of them. Me at the show. With empty bag and full pockets. Well, not for long. If I remembered correctly there was 133 exhibitors. Chrysocola and Malachite from Zair. Beautiful Agate from Kazakhstan. Look at the prices. Amethyst geode. The price of this item was 160 EUR (near to 220$). Chalcedony carvings. Lapis Monkey (about 10" tall). Something for knapping and knife lovers. Ocean Jasper carving Ruby in Zoisite Ball (200EUR = 270$) a bit too much, don't you think. Faceted Fluorite. Facets, facets Cabochons - this I know. To be continued.

Cool! I love the Stilbite that is just fantastic! I also spotted the little hedgehogs hiding in the amethyst cave, they are fun! Thanks so much for the pictures, what a great array of rock! I'm glad you had a great birthday!! what an excellent day to go with it Cheers, Harry.

Wow - that agate from Kazahkstan is gorgeous. Reminds of higher quality Montana Agate.

KD, if I see correctly, that OJ cat was priced at 270.000 HUF which is a bit over 1.400$.

Oh my gosh, what wonderful sights to see! You really captured the beauty of so many of these pieces. Great camera work!
I think my favorite is that tadpole emerging from the surrounding rock! Beautifully carved.
Thanks for "taking us with you!"

Oh Wow!! This is all really great looking stuff. I think my favorites are the agates from Kazakhstan, the Amethyst geodes and the carved Ocean jasper. I dont think I've ever seen Ocean Jasper carved before and I love cats.
Thanks for all the pics.

I'm with akansan, that agate is stunning! Looks like the prices are on a par with the states, or even higher. Thanks for the pics.

Wow they have some nice stuff, it would be like a kid in a candy shop. Love the amethyst geodes, too bad those are usually so expensive, I would love to have one. Tami
