I went to the Tucson gem show. I met in Afghani and his wife in a tiny little shop that was one small room. They had an Afghani crown in one of the cases. I spent $400 in his shop. I got some gold beads a golden Ruby clasp and the single most gorgeous deepest blue lapis strand I’ve ever seen. Nicest stones I own and it made a gorgeous necklace. My fondest memory of Tucson gem show.

I guess the secret is out. He's got the main store in Quartzsite, one in Phoenix, and the new one in Tucson. I've been going to the Phoenix store for years, and I remember they told me they were going to open the store in Tucson. As we traveled south to Tucson to visit some wholesalers, we mentioned to them that he was opening a store in Tucson and most were pissed. He's considered the Walmart of Rocks. You have to watch the quality on some stuff and the price. You can for sure find some great deals at Gem World.
@lapidarydave2 жыл бұрын
definitely There’s a lot there that I would consider every day in quality and price but there was a lot there that seemed pretty good the Tucson one has been there for at least two or three years I remember seeing it and going in there but not filming it All in all I think it’s a cool store and a great idea and a super easy concept thank you so much for watching Curtis I really appreciate you my friend
