The 2016 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show® Part 5: Shades of Blue Exhibits Continued

We couldn't fit all the shades of blue display exhibits in the previous post, so this post has the rest of them. Once again, the order here is random, and only reflects our sequence of photography. We spent two days taking these photos. On the first day, the Wednesday before the show, some of the cases were not yet ready during the set up. On Thursday, the public opening of the show, many cases were blocked from view by spectators, so we had to wait or go back to cases until the crowd in front of them cleared. This is the cause of the seemingly random order of the displays in our posts.


Click the images below for a larger photos. Stay tuned and keep checking back for additional show posts! We'll introduce some of the individual blue minerals in the exhibits next.
