After posting on the satellite shows in the Tucson area, we'll now focus on the The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show®, also commonly known as "The Main Show." This show started all the activity in Tucson, and takes place on the spacious floor of the Tucson Convention Center in downtown Tucson. The world's best and biggest dealers come here to sell their material and new finds, with an astounding amount of quality minerals available for sale here.
One of the highlights of the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show® is the public display exhibits that are organized by various private collectors, dealers, and museums. The sheer quantity and quality of these public displays are unrivaled anywhere. There are over one hundred display cases filled with some of the most amazing and iconic mineral specimens in the world!
We took hundreds of photos on site, and are happy to present our audience with a taste of the happenings here. Our reports are comprehensive and detailed, and we have about 85% of all the display exhibits from the show photographed. Our show reports will contain high-resolution images of the public exhibits, individual minerals in the exhibits, and new and interesting minerals shown to me by certain dealers.
It takes a lot of time to organize and prepare our photos for posting, so please keep on checking our news blog as we post the pictures! We'll keep posting them as we get the new photos ready.
Below are some general show scenes, including set up and the show floor. (All these pictures are clickable for larger pop-up pictures.)
