Tucson 2014 - Third Update

Tucson remains as busy as always, and with so much going on and so little time to report it, I've decided to put everything left in the run-up to the TGMS show in one report. This also includes an update on things I didn't get to write about in the previous reports on Inn Suites and Pueblo.

Inn Suites (Update)

Pueblo Show (Update)

My previous report for the Pueblo Show was written before I'd had a chance to visit all the dealers - here is the update.



Fine Art Minerals specialise in minerals from Pakistan and Afghanistan.











Shannon & Sons sell an enormous number of rare and unusual mineral species.









Mineraly's ML Creations is a dealer I had not come across before with some interesting items:







Sound Minerals, another dealer who hasn't appeared on these reports before, had an interesting selection of good pegmatite gem minerals.

The Kristalle Party

Every year Kristalle and Crystal Classics host a themed party - and this year the theme was Jamaica!

John Veevaert Open House

John Veevaert, Steve Perry and Brett Keller had an open-house to show John and Steve's minerals and Brett's wine.

Day off!

Fine Minerals International

Fine Minerals International have a superb building right next door to the Inn Suites show.

Mindat meeting

Every year we have a mindat.org meeting - and as usual this year it was held in Rock Currier's Jewel Tunnel ballroom at the Inn Suites.

Westward Look Show

The weekend prior to the TGMS show is the Westward Look show, where a smaller number of fine mineral specimen dealers set up in this exclusive resort for four days.











Unique Minerals had a new find of cuprite from the Milpillas mine, Mexico.

















The Arkenstone had bigger pieces of the interesting Chalcocite from China that we'd seen previously with Jordi Fabre.























The fourth and final report will come shortly from the TGMS show! Thank you for reading.
