An Update to the Quartzite Rock & Mineral Show

We returned to Quartzite (Q) to get the turquoise stone replaced in my wedding band.  We had left a stone that Nadine the mobile jeweler from Elephant Butte was shaping over the last couple of weeeks for us.  The short story is that Nadine did a great job for us at a terrific price and we are extremely grateful.  Nadine even buffed out scratches I had in my ring and reshaped the roundness for me.  This visit we took several more pictures in an attempt to capture the unique Q atmosphere

This place was a ringer... they had stalagtite looking rocks with signs saying "not from caves" and we could see China stickers on them.  This vendor was parked next to the dumper, just sayin'...
 Stalagtite looking rocks.... Not From Caves.... really?  BTW, they sell sage at Q too, that's a tray of it at the right... smells good.
