Third day of stocking up. It is already the last day of Tucson!
Today we continued our tent tour from this morning. It was warmer than yesterday, and we finally got out of our down jackets and into the nice Arizona weather.
This tent finally has dinosaurs!
It was a full-size mammoth. And in front of it, for some reason, was a Japanese armor with a strangely realistic doll in it.
Samurais are also a type of fossil?
In the same tent, there is also a huge tent selling everything from fossils, large crystals for figurines, freshly dug out stones (more like rocks) like building materials, and beautiful gems for jewelry.
Among the many boxes of junk, I found a beautiful azurite (group blue) crystal.
It was very inexpensive.
And then there is cubic pyrite, the stunning cubic metallic crystals that nature creates, which I couldn't find yesterday.
I finally tracked down the vendor by searching online!
What a surprise, it is a natural stone from Rioja, a town in Spain famous for its wine.
In the afternoon, I returned to the main convention center again to negotiate and purchase all the stones I had set my sights on at once.
In the last spurt, we purchased quite a few items and amounts in the last two hours.
We had a very productive three days of purchasing.
We left the venue at three in the afternoon and went straight to the airport.
The road to the airport finally warmed up, and we were able to open the car windows and enjoy the pleasant breeze and the typical Arizona scenery for a while.
It was a quick 72-hour stay in Tucson!
