Helpful navigation tips for our site: REFRESH: We update frequently so be sure to refresh your browser to see any changes. TIME STAMP: On the upper left there is usually a date and time showing when the page was created or updated. CHECK BOTTOM OF PAGE: If you see a recent date, that indicates something new is on the page and often it will be added to the BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. (that's because it is much easier to simply add it to the bottom as compared to moving dozens of photos and text boxes to make room at the top of a page). ENLARGE PHOTOS: Almost all photos will expand when you click on them. Those that have a plus sign when you hover your cursor over the photo can be enlarged even further. YELLOW LINKS: Links are almost always in YELLOW unless I just happen to miss doing that. Otherwise they will be the standard blue color. SITE MAP: It's your friend! I've been adding pages to this site for years and it has become a monster. But, it is a manageable monster. It's easy to get lost and confused and the site map will likely help you find your way back home. Look for site map links on the upper right of most pages. I've also added it to most navigation bars as well as the 'go to' drop-down menu. "GO TO": Almost every page has a 'go to' drop down menu with a link to home, the site map, and most of my other presences on the web such as ebay, flickr, twitter, zazzle, etc. |
46th Annual Tannehill Gem, Mineral & Lapidary show June 1 - 2, 2019 9am - 5pm Admission is free with paid admission to the park. Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park 12632 Confederate Parkway McCalla, Alabama 35111 (Near Birmingham / Bessemer) Here we have the Tannehill Gem show info with dates, address, map and other info that you'll need to make the best of the show. Tannehill Gem Show 2020 Info: The club informed the dealers that the 48th annual Tannehill show will not be at Tannehill. It's the end of over 4 decades of tradition. I've enjoyed vending there from 2006-2019 and so it is rather sad news. |

The park that the gem show is held in is AWESOME! The show is held in the back area beside the creek. There is an Archery show in an adjacent field every year and lots of other things to see and do. For info on Tannehill Historical State Park, just click the banner below. |
Tannehill State Park is HUGE! The gem show is held near a group of buildings that is across the wooden bridge that leads to the old Grist Mill. Since the park is so big, I've included a map that leads right to the show instead of just the park entrance. This will save you some time! |
In addition to crystals and fossils we also bring lots of lapidary rough as well as obsidian for flint knapping. The folks that go to the archery contest in the adjacent field are always happy to get good material from me at great prices! |
Shown below is some beautiful rainbow obsidian that is great for flint knapping arrowheads. This material shows a rainbow of color in bright lighting. We also have regular black obsidian and mahogany obsidian and several other kinds. CLICK ANY PHOTO TO ENLARGE. |
The photos in the show banner at left show some of the various crystals and minerals that I have for sale. We have lots of amethyst from Georgia and pretty much any crystal, mineral or fossil that you can name!

Above is druse smokey quartz on petrified wood from Wetumpka, Alabama. We will have examples from Wetumpka AND ALSO Brilliant Alabama for sale! |
We do a lot of digging here in the US and have owned/operated several famous mines so this means we have mine-direct specimens at mine-direct prices. We also buy out mineral collection and estates so we have all kinds of different mineral specimens and crystals for sale. We have a wide variety and pretty much anything that you can name. In the old collections that we buy we often find mineral specimens that just aren't on the market today. We always bring many flats from the collection buy-outs and you'll love going through them to see what all you can find! |
