The 2016 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show® Part 2 - Dealer Minerals

I find new and interesting things every year at the dealer booths of the The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show®. Many dealers and collectors choose the Tucson show to introduce their new finds to the market. Some well-known dealers are now accustomed to my visit, and show me their new or interesting material when I come by to visit their booth. Below are some individual photos of these new or interesting minerals that I was able to get a good photo of.
