I have been attending this show for many years and it never disappoints. You will find gemstone pendulums for dowsing, quartz crystals to use in your healing practice, gemstones to use for chakra healing and grid making, as well as selenite candle holders, singing bowls, jewelry, salt lamps, etc. Make sure you check out the offerings by Dave & Lee Seaward from Two Hawks Gallery in Homer, NY (www.twohawksgallery.com). And if you have children, make sure to visit the kids' section for fun activities like cracking open real geodes!
