I might head out to the gem show in West Springfield, MA on Saturday this weekend (probably Saturday, mid-day). I could bring along some slabs for trade if anyone thinks they might attend the show. I looked at the vendors and unfortunately the show does not appear to be very large.

Shoot me a PM and I'll give you a phone number, perhaps we can connect and make some trades. I have quite a few things I picked up at the Arizona show in Feb. I slabbed a bunch of stuff up and certainly have more of some materials than I can use. Any interesting Jaspers, Agates, etc out there?
I'm also in the market for another arbor, one that can hold another two 6 or 8 inch grinding or sanding wheels. Let me know if anyone has equipment they might like to sell at this meeting.
