Crystal Class Students

She also presented some information about the North Peruvian Shamanic Traditions that she teaches.

The event was held at the Health Touch Spa (thank you John and Joy Anderson).

Crystal Class in Wausau WI

The spa facility is a wonderful place for this kind of event.

The class was 6 hours with another hour for questions and further information, the buying of stones and getting acquainted.

Third Chakra Stone Layout

We hope to have another event later in the year, perhaps the end of October.

Be sure to see us this weekend at our next show this weekend May 10th and 11th at Beaux Arts Fair in Davenport Iowa.  We will be there both Saturday and Sunday so stop out and see us!!

Returning Home From Tucson

Ok.  So now it’s Mid March close to the Ides, and Magical Delights has returned from 4 lovely weeks in Tucson. The first thing we did was buy Jean a hat to protect her from the sun on our hike.

Jean and Her New Hat

We then got to work and set up the shop.

Magical Delights Booth at Tucson Gem and Mineral Show

Holly stopped by to say hello and people began showing up.

Jean and Holly at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show

The set up was in the same area as last year,

Here is a Person Taking a Photo of the Tables Across From Us

we will be moving in 2015 to The Pueblo Gem Show, mainly because I think it will be a better venue for Magical Delights – with fewer big stone dealers, more gems and jewelry “more our style”.

Here is a shot of Vicjon at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show

Here are some great Amethyst Cathedrals that we saw.

While we were there we had a nice place to stay – complete with our own back yard.  I like it so much that I just had to sit there and take in all in – complete with a photo including my feet.

Our Back Yard at Tucson

Once again I saw the vermillion fly catcher and tried to get a picture.

…and here is another shot of the Vermillion Fly Catcher.

Over all we had a good show and the weather held up. We saw the Ogijeski’s and added to the stone blog – http://stonepie.blogspot.com/ which we hope will be ongoing.

Our next upcoming shows are the Victory of Light in Cincinnati OH and the Edge Life Expo in Fargo ND.

As always you can see more on our Website at www.MagicalDelights.com and you can see our show schedule page at MagicalDelights.om

Celebrate Body Mind Spirit Expo Denver

It was a big show, well run and was just before the big rain started.

Jeans Booth at Celebrate Body Mind Spirit Expo Denver

Here is Jeans Booth.

We will in Columbus Ohio October 12^th and 13^th for the Universal Light Expo.  We will be doing an experimental set up with Beth Ann  Kennedy,  Jean Tindle and I.  The booth set up will be under the name Pink Heart Healing but it will be comprised of a complete display of and Pink Heart Healing Stones, Spirit Dancer Crystals and a also a complete display of Magical Delights Handcrafted Jewelry – the first time ever in the Columbus area!

We will also be offering Crystal Surgery  as taught by Vivien Shapera of Four Winds Academy of Healing Arts on site during the show.

Be sure to plan to spend some time at the Universal Light Expo on October 12^th and 13^th.  It is a big show and there will be lots and lots of people there with lots and lots to see.

Magical Delights Booth – Tuscon 2013

We found out that the Yen had been devalued and that meant that products in dollars were more expensive then they had been.  A number of old European customers didn’t attend as well.  All this seems to reflect the world-wide economic difficulties.  So the world continues to get “smaller” and make us all more dependent on everyone (and each other).

Our accommodations @ Sonaran Palms were good as usual, however, we spent the first two weeks of our stay dinning out more frequently than we usually do.  We finally went to Bob Dobbs with the  Bob and Sue Obijiski’ after many years of trying.  At that event we hit upon a new list of stones and their properties which we will begin to introduce soon. 

Jess Keeting has already begun to mention a few, ie, Launderite, Moranite, ect.  Magical Delights will start by acquainting you with ucranium.  Here are some examples from Jess Keeting:

Libyan-Laun

Pyramedium

Eerlobahzite

Again we enjoyed Athens on Fourth and as always, Marisco’s Chihuahua. We made the pilgrimage to Daisy Mae’s as well with Vivien and Neil who had not been there.  This year we found a new Indian Restaurant on Broadway – New Delhi Palace that Nancy LaValley and I always went to for lunch…dinner is good there , especially the Lasis’.

I took Jean to La Fuente with Walter but it was noisy and not so good.  1 star.

Sales were improved from the last two years and we came away with a profit – Yay!!  I sold a lot more jewelry but fewer wands.  I suppose that that was because the Japanese weren’t there.

Jean and I shopped as hard as we could and found some good stuff.  You can see Jean’s pieces at SpiritDancerCrystals.com. 

As for me, my two favorites were two exquisite Apophyllites from Elite Gems (which they saved for me).

Apophyllite Stalagmites

Thanks to Manech and Maresh!!

I rendered one of the clusters and it yielded 9 really good Flames of Ishtar

Flame of Ishtar

The other really good find was some Bixbite in Ryolite (Red Emerald in Matrix) from Equatorian Exports.  The largest one is for sale for $400.00 – approximate size – 1/2 inch wide by 3/4 inch.

Bixbite in Ryolite

Here are some other finds – Lepidocrosite in Quartz.

The weather was difficult. It did not cooperate very well.  First it was hot and then it was cold and then it was hot and then it was cold!!  But, all in all it was a successful trip. 

Next we are off to the Edge Life Expo at Fargo North Dakota!!

 Jean with her Spirit Dancer Crystals , and I with my Magical Delights will be appearing April 20th and 20st inside the Fargo Civics Center.  Stop out to see us if you are in town!! 

As always, you can see more of our Magical Delights Handcrafted Jewelry on our website at www.MagicalDelights.com

We concentrated on Wands early

Cathedral Quartz, Topaz, Larimar, Topaz, Quartz Crystal Sphere Wand.

And made some really super ones!   Also with the help of our friend Dave Toule, we developed a larger size tumbler so that we could make bigger wands.  After we got done with those we made wandlets.

Amethyst Point, Pink Topaz, Opal, Peridot Aventurine Wandlet

Danburite, Green Tourmaline, Morganite, Danburite Wandlet

Then I had two trips I needed to make, one to Cincinnati for the Victory of Light with Jean and then Jean and I went to New York for Christmas with her sister who had been displaced by Hurricane Sandy.

After getting back we concentrated on bracelets and big Pendants.

Aqua Aura, Topazes Large Fairy Pendant

Emerald Cluster, Danburites Large Mermaid Pendant

and now we are ready to go to Tucson.

Have a good New Year and a short winter…and hope to see some of you in Tucson for the Gem and Mineral Show – we will be in our usual location – Tent 27 at Days Inn.  Be sure to stop by to see all the great new stuff that we have been working on!!  We will be there from January 25 thru Feb 15 and perhaps until noon on the 16th but shortly after that we will be packing up, so come early if you can!!  See you there!!

Raw Jade

Dave has a store front in Merrill where he has a bunch of rocks and minerals from around the area including Palio-Stone Tools, Raw Copper, Silver and other interesting mineral oddities.

Raw Copper

Dave and Bob will be leaving for Denver in a couple of weeks to see what kind of response they get from the World-Wide Rock People.  They will be attending the Denver Gem and Mineral Show in Denver Colorado, September 11^th – 15^th.

Magical Delights will also be heading out to Denver for the Denver Gem and Mineral Show to pick up some materials for making more of our Handcrafted Jewelry Designs.

Often when we are going to the Denver Gem and Mineral Show in the Fall, or Tucson Gem and Mineral Show in the Early Spring, we ask our customers if there is anything in particular that you are interested in, please let us know and we will see if we can find some of it there.

Speaking of events – Magical Delights will be appearing this weekend  Saturday and Sunday, August 25 and 26, 2012 in Downtown Green Bay Wisconsin for Artstreet.  Magical Delights looks forward to seeing all of our customers past, present and future!! this weekend!!  Stop out to see Magical Delights Handcrafted Jewelry Designs to see our great Signature, One of a Kind Gemstone and Mineral Jewelry Creations.

The weather was ideal, the sales were slightly sub par, however…I even got yelled at by an Alabamian for not being a true believer.  There is a lot of underlying RAGE it seems there.

Speaking of great weather,  Spring has really sprung in Southern Alabama
