Colors of the Stone brings together a diverse group of over 300 artisans, beadmakers, wholesalers, lapidaries, and tradespeople for the Fall Tucson Gem Show. Taking place Aug 31- Sept 3 at the Casino Del Sol Resort, the show is a four day event of great shopping, hands-on workshops, and fun! Meet artisans who have spent decades perfecting their skills, and tradespeople who have searched the world for unique gems, minerals, beads, and antiquities. Among the diverse displays, find items such as lampwork beads, hand-cut gemstones, antique beads, vintage findings, crystals, hill tribe silver, artwear, and tribal textiles. Whether you are a professional designer, gallery owner or hobbyist, this is an exclusive opportunity to get a head start on the coming year. Buy direct from the source at excellent prices, and find new products offered for the first time by the makers themselves. Artisan Workshops are ongoing throughout the show in subjects such as metalwork, beadwork, and mixed media. Casino Del Sol is the perfect setting for this event, an architectural gem, nestled in the sun-filled Sonoran Desert, minutes from downtown Tucson and Tucson International Airport. There are seven excellent on-site restaurants, along with several bars and lounges. Enjoy the beautiful and relaxed location, shop an unrivaled exhibition, learn, and take in all the creativity. August 31 - September 3, Thursday through Sunday, 10am-6pm at Casino Del Sol, 5655 W Valencia Rd, Tucson, AZ. Open to the public, everyone is welcome, free admission and parking.
