Part Two of the Westward Look show report features some of the interesting minerals that I observed at the 2016 Westward Look show in Tucson. My selection of minerals included in this post are any display specimens that strike my fancy as interesting, unique, or historic. Also, I do take a lots of mineral pictures, but not all come out aesthetically pleasing when photographed. Below are my finds of interesting and aesthetic minerals at the Westward Look show this year.
