The Tucson Gem & Mineral Show® Treasures of the Midwest Displays, Part 1

One of the highlights of The Tucson Gem & Mineral Show® is the display exhibits. Some of the top museums and private collectors have specimens of their collection publicly featured in display cases throughout the show floor. The cases are meticulously planned, and often have good descriptions.

Every year, the show board chooses a special "theme." Many of the displays are related to theme, bringing additional interest and variety each year to the show. This year's theme was "Mineral Treasures of the Midwest," featuring top mineral specimens from a broad definition of the Midwestern United States. As there were many good within the theme, we will divide the themed displays into three separate posts.
