Tucson Gem & Mineral Show

I had an incredible experience at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show in Feb 2024! Mineral crystal heaven didn’t even begin to cover it. Hundreds of hotel and motel rooms were transformed into pop-up gem emporiums, with stones displayed everywhere from beds to tables. Every corner brang new surprises and characters, truly a one-of-a-kind spectacle. Endless walking (next time, definitely a Harley!) and I gave a talk on peridot, invited by Fuli Gemstones at the Tucson Fine Mineral gallery.
