Thank you Tucson!

ALL good things must come to an end and what an extraordinary few weeks it has been here in Tucson for the 2026 Tucson Gem & Fine Mineral Show.

We have been truly overwhelmed by the number of visitors to our showroom at the Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery. It has been a pleasure to reconnect with longstanding friends and to welcome so many new faces, all united by a shared passion for fine minerals. Thank you to everyone who supported us throughout the show.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the entire Crystal Classics team for making 2026 another resounding success. Our team in Tucson, pictured above, worked tirelessly from start to finish, and our achievements simply would not have been possible without their dedication and energy. Back in the UK, our team in East Coker, pictured below, played an equally vital role behind the scenes and we are deeply grateful for their continued efforts.

This year was especially unusual for me, as I had to oversee the show from the UK following my accident last year. It was the first time in many years that I have missed being in Tucson and I certainly felt that absence. I greatly missed seeing you all in person. That said, it has been an interesting and valuable experience managing the show from this side of the pond. A very special thank you to everyone who sent their kind wishes – your messages were sincerely appreciated. I look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

The dates for the 2027 show are already confirmed – Friday 29 January to Saturday 13 February – and planning is well underway to make it yet another unforgettable event.

And remember, our showroom at the Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery is open year-round, Monday to Friday (10am–4pm), with weekend visits available by appointment. If you find yourself in the area, we would be delighted to welcome you.

Until next time – thank you once again for being part of our journey.

Debbie Boyer – CFO and Office Manager
