Ah,  Charlotte!
You are so right.  When I attended my first gem show, I was  so 
overwhelmed, 
I  had to take some breaks to sit a spell just to  catch my breath.  That 
was 
about 10 years ago. Since then, I have  figured out how to shop at a gem 
show 
so I am more under control. Now, I  go with a certain theme or kind of 
stones 
I am searching for, and keep my  focus on my goals.

The other thing I now realize that I did not 10  years ago is the power of 
the stones themselves. When you walk into that  show, you are walking into 
pure energy - thousands of points of energy,  and looking back I now 
realize 
that was why my first couple of shows were  so overpowering. Gem Stones 
have 
energy and power and after doing lots of  research on them and reading 
books 
such as _The Crystal Bible_ and _The  Crystal Code_ and others, I now 
understand much better. Now, my stones are  selected for healing powers and 
I 
make talismans and healing arts jewelry  exclusively. It is so exciting to 
make special items for my clients - I  know I am helping them to feel 
better 
and to have what they need. I just  finished an amazing Hematite set for 
one 
of them, and another gorgeous set  from Mother of Pearl for a friend. Makes 
me so happy to know I am helping  them.

It is always ever new and ever exciting to go to a gem  show.

We have a couple of fantastic shows that come to Pittsburgh (PA)  a couple 
times a year - and they are by _invitation only_ and that is  where I shop 
for my stones. We also have the famous _Appalachian Rock  Shop_ jsut about 
8 
miles from my home, where I can go and touch stones and  crystals at any 
time - oh, what a glorious selection of things beautiful.  Also, the 
Carnegie 
Museum of Art hosts a fabulous gem show every year,  too.   Sigh!  I am 
drooling as I think of  them.

Happy hunting at your next Gem Show.
