Tuesday Update – Gem Minerals

Thomas Cotterell

FIRSTLY, thank you to everyone who turned out for our Spring Showcase at the Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery. As always it is so great to catch up with you all. I wasn’t there in person, but Ian, Debbie and Stew really enjoyed your company.

With no further ado, our focus shifts to the Texas Mineral and Fossil Show at Dallas/Plano on May 15-17th. Stew and Debbie will be in attendance, bringing you a select suite of stunning, carefully curated specimens.

Meanwhile, in the UK, preparations are well underway for our Summer Open Weekend on June 6th and 7th. With additional opening on Sunday morning, you can relax with us for evening food on Saturday and then continue browsing for a few more hours on Sunday in a chilled, laid-back environment.

We will be releasing the second installment of rare British location tins (Cassiterite) from Bruce Grant’s collection including more with Col. Sir William Serjeant (1857-1930) and Sir Arthur Russell (1878-1964) labels and we will be presenting a magnificent selection of predominantly northern English minerals from Jesse Fisher and Joan Kureczka’s collection along with another fine suite of northern English minerals from Stephen Crook.

If you haven’t yet booked, please do get in touch so that we can prepare catering for the day.

Today, we present to you a marvelous range of crystallized gem mineral species from around the world. With specimens ranging from a few hundred dollars up to $17,500 there is something for nearly every budget. Not every gem species is colourful, but you will find that some are exceptionally so, making viewing a pleasure.

If you are attending the Texas Mineral and Fossil Show from May 15-17th please do come over and talk to our team.

Please note: Today's featured specimens are situated at both our US and UK showrooms.
