This is the second post of minerals I photographed at the InnSuites show in Tucson of new mineral finds and recently mined specimens. In general, dealers set up in the same hotel rooms as in previous years. After coming year after year, one gets to know the lay of the land, and where to find each dealer.
It's always nice to find new dealers at this show. This year featured the introduction of Michael Walter of Geologic Desires, from Upstate New York, and James Hall, of the Reel Mine in North Carolina, with his new Amethyst Mine.
