The 2020 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show® Display Minerals Part 2

This is our second post on the individual minerals of the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show® display Minerals. A continuation of our previous post, this post shares some of the remarkable minerals on display in the exhibits at the show.

There were so many good minerals on display, and it was difficult having to choose the best ones. However, we are posting many of the other great display minerals we photographed at the show on our Instagram page at instagram.com/mineralsnet, so please check there as well for additional show minerals.

Our order of the pictures does not follow any system. We simply posted in the order of how we photographed them at at the show. We hope you enjoy!
