Tuesday Update – Thanksgiving

THIS weekend the Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery will be abuzz with collectors and dealers for our Thanksgiving Showcase. Ian, Debbie and Stew will be on hand on Friday and over the weekend to discuss your collecting needs, or even to talk dispersals, should you be looking to downsize your collection. There will also be a talk on Saturday by Evan Jones on his late father’s (Bob Jones) work with Russian Gem minerals.

Our showpiece Crystal Classics showroom in the Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery is ready for you and brimming with magnificent new mineral specimens for you to choose from. This includes a large suite of old-time European classics, exceptional new finds of Wulfenite from Los Lamentos in Mexico and wonderful new Fluorite discoveries.

As it is Thanksgiving coming up, our specimens today are all American. These include magnificent pieces from Dick Morris’ collection, from Paul Matt and others from the American suite of British-based collector David Hardman. Many of these are older classics from now rarely seen occurrences, but there are a few newer discoveries highlighted too, such as some of the Arizona Fluorites. As always, these are just a glimpse of what we have available and so if you have specific ‘wants’ it is always worth asking.

We do hope that you can join us over the weekend but if not, our showroom is open by appointment throughout the rest of the year.

Next week, our update takes us to Africa and to Tsumeb. With the acquisition of so many rich Tsumeb collections over the past year we are still uncovering historic mineral treasures from this legendary mine and can’t wait to show you more.

Until then, have a great weekend.

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