Tucson Gem & Mineral Show

More Info from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
tucson gem show

Protoceratops and Velociraptor fossil replicas, 2007 show
The Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase is one of the premier gem and mineral shows in the world. The event takes place annually in late January and February at approximately 40 to 49 different locations across the city of Tucson, Arizona. Most of the shows are open to the public, except for certain trade shows which require registration with a business license. There is not one single location for gems, minerals and fossils, but rather dealers occupy dozens of locations across the city: many big hotels and most motels are occupied for this occasion, with professionals displaying their specimens in such locations as hotel bedrooms, lobbies, tents, and lawns. The premier event of the Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase is the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show produced by the Tucson Gem and Mineral Society. This show has been held annually since 1955 and now occupies 181,000 square feet (16,800 m2) of the Tucson Convention Center. All of the shows have attendees from all across the world which includes the general public, experts, beginning collectors, museum employees, dealers, retailers, and researchers. Many museums anduniversities, such as the Smithsonian Institution and the Sorbonne have displayed at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show and all of these other different shows bring in over $110 million to the local Tucson economy.
The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show is held at the Tucson Convention Center starting on the second Thursday of February. The first Tucson Gem and Mineral Show was held in an elementary school in 1955 and shortly thereafter moved to a quonset hut at the Tucson Fair Grounds. Then in 1973 they moved into the Tucson Community Center. They occupied the North Exhibit Hall first, then expanded into the Arena and upper Arena concourse. After the completion of the new facility in 1990, which is now called the Tucson Convention Center, the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show now occupies the Arena, Exhibition Halls A-B-C, Galleria and Ballrooms.

THE TUCSON EZ-GUIDE EXPANDING TO TWO EDITIONS IN 2015!
Shortly after Xpo Press began publishing the first Tucson EZ-Guide in 2004 we made a commitment to our advertisers and readers to never become like the incumbent show guide that had been distributed in Tucson for years — too big and bulky for ads to be seen and for show-goers to use while they're at the show. (This is why it's called the "EZ" Guide, short for "Easy" to use, read, and see the ads — as a good show guide should be.)


"Black Book" (Rock, Mineral & Fossil Buyers Edition)

The Black Book publishes detailed show information for 23 Tucson gem shows where the products sold by their vendors are over 50% mineral, fossil, rock, rough, and/or gemstone related. However, every Tucson show vendor will be published in both books with their show locations published.

Tucson Gem Show the Most Amazing Show on Earth

Tucson Gem ShowIn Tuson, Arizona, every year, the most amazing gem show on earth takes place.
Even as someone quoted from Yelp about the Tucson Gem Show,
"I have been to the Smithsonian Museum's mineral wing
and they have nothing on some of the stones you can see here."
Known as the "Worlds Biggest Treasure Hunt."
The Tucson Gem Show is simply miles of vendors selling every mineral, rock, and gem you can think of.

The displays are enormous. The sites, the people, the buzz, and the exchange that takes place during the
given weeks is fast paced and full of excitement.
Even if you go there and see all the sites and displays at the show you will be amazed and it's worth the trip.
Tucson Gem ShowPut on your walking shoes and put the time aside to go - As Tucson during the Jewelry Show period is a once in a lifetime experience.
You really have to go at least once to experience it for yourself and enjoy all the sites and visual activity.
Of course, once you go, you may be tempted to bring home a few rocks.... But it's really hard not to fall in love with at least some
colorful little gem specimens somewhere.
The other great aspect of the Show is we'll be there, of course, which will be our 28th year at the Gem Show!
gemstone beads from the tucson gem show
We will be at the Holidome - Ballroom #40 - and if you stop by and visit us - you'll be able to order and shop over 16000 unique jewelry findings
with us at the show.
We will not only be selling gemstone beads in a wide assortment at wholesale, but we will be there with low cost jewelry wire, jewelry chain, and jewelry beads.
We stock over 62 pages of silver findings in our catalog alone, including more to our inventory every day.

For example, this U shaped bar fits your jewelry bench that allows more effieciency and a better grip for your Bench Pin from EuroTools. Actually a really great write up on "Getting a Grip" on Ganoksin's website. 
We also found out that if you are up to it you can modify your Bench Pin to do something similar in terms of adding stability with your Bench Pin.
Just grind in an added notch and it just may make your life a whole lot simpler.

Behr Paint has a great little online website section for color palette use. Very nice and useful if you are playing around with color.
