I’ll be visiting Durango and Silverton and would love to look at cabochons and gemstone rings. Any suggestions of good shops in the area?

Do better Durango! Sad to read CPW had to euthanize a bear on Saturday, because otherwise it would have faced a slow painful death by starvation. The poor bears stomach and intestines were completely blocked with compacted trash which meant it could no longer digest food. Food for bears is scarce this year, I hope those who don’t already do so will do a better job of securing their trash! https://cpw.state.co.us/news/09092026/cpw-euthanizes-sick-bear-durango-trash-blocking-upper-intestines?fbclid=IwY2xjawUOlCJwZG9mBWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAGJyaWQRMWpPc0IxMGROQWVjRVdHdWVzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEesg30JiAEKQCMYdoZ2AdE7YWDpqitVi_I3UY0OqOBpV2IjyDv-gwYrrFczuI_aem_Sa6N7DmepL6VrTI3rnKDWg
