Are you ready for the Mount Ida Gem and Mineral Show?
We'll be set up Friday through Sunday! May 8-10.
Featuring new, improved, and restocked favorites from the A Lil Bit Earthy Apothecary, including a Summer Solstice Simmer Pot blend that is crisp and calming, perfect for a late evening sunset. Thanks to my friend Marissa Reese Morabe for gifting me the Lemon Balm and Passion Flower leaves that were added to the mix. Don't forget to grab one of our hand crafted teas or bath soaks to celebrate mom this weekend!
We've got a fair variety of rock and crystal specimens that will be available such as Missouri Malachite, Georgia Rutile, Florida Calcite, and Arkansas Wavellite, plus more. Wait til you see the differing shades of greens and blues of the Old Stock Delinde Wavellite and the beautiful soft mint of Mauldin Mountain Wavellite in person, the sparkle is something that video and photo don't do justice to. The material we have, thanks to Avant Mining LLC , is stellar. Because of digs hosted by The Crystal Collector , we've got incredible, rare specimens from Mona Lisa, Hamilton Hill, and Moses Hill in Arkansas. I even pulled the good ones and bigguns out of storage for you all this weekend.
As if that wasn't enough, we have a large assortment of handmade homegoods like macrame decor, stained glass designs, and one of a kind jewelry pieces you may not see elsewhere.
Make sure to stop by and say hi this weekend! I'm looking forward to seeing friends and meeting new folks.
