“Look, Kryptonite,” the young boy exclaimed, misreading the label for the kyanite. Kyanite gets its striking blue color from aluminum, but can also be green or blue green.

Kyanite was mined for its insulating properties and used in ceramics. Metaphysical properties include channeling and clarity of thought. It’s pretty sky blue makes it popular for jewelry. Superman has no fear of this crystal and they would make a great gift for Lois Lane.

Today the show wraps up in Pahrump. Next week bluegrass music in Logan dale, Nevada.

“Al was taken to the hospital,” was the call from a friend, early Friday morning.  One of our fellow vendor and friend is now critical, but stable, after being airlifted to a hospital in Las Vegas. Violet was calling to request prayers.

This weekend we are in Pahrump, Nevada for their premiere gold, gem and mineral show.  More friends took over their booth at the show, others took his partner, Emma to the hospital, an hour away to spend the day with him.

We are like family and depend on and help each other. While we do this for fun, it is work. We are almost always far from home and lean on each other in times of need.

Next time you go to an event and see the vendor in his or her booth, smile and say hello.  That means as much to us as a sale.

The show runs through Sunday, here in Pahrump. We look forward to a busy weekend.  Please keep Al in your prayers.

The roar of the bikers’ engines continued into the night and we did not close until nine.  Hundreds of bikers, all terrain vehicles, cars and trucks brought people visiting from all parts of America and the world to visit the ghost town of Good springs and the Pioneer Saloon.

The owners son got married here this weekend, along with birthday and anniversary parties. The Pioneer even hosts star-gazing and ghost hunts.

As I write this, it is quiet and the sun is peaking over the hill.  We look forward to our last day here.  Tomorrow, off to Pahrump, Nevada for the gold, gem and mineral show next week.
