Hi Everyone,

I'd very much like to thank everyone for contributing to this thread and sharing your Tucson experiences. Being stuck in the room during the show running it myself, I hardly ever get the chance to see any of the other rooms or displays as such, these types of reports are my main way of seeing the magic!

Again, thank you!

All the very best,

John

I know this is several years late, but here are my observations from Matt’s pictures:

Pictures “IMG_0676 to IMG_0681” and “IMG_2224” are fluorite specimens that belong to the collection of Harris Precht from Connersville, Indiana. Harris is a Midwest mineral dealer whom I have known (as well as several other people on this forum) for many years and was one of the first dealers I met when I started collecting. Harris is one of the nicest mineral dealers I have ever met and always has great stories to tell. Harris still continues to use his typewriter for generating his mineral labels, nothing wrong with that…

The fluorite (IMG_0676) on the bottom shelf is from the Bluffton Stone Quarry. This specimen is figured in Ernest Carlson’s Minerals of Ohio (1991) on the first color plate.

The fluorite in picture “IMG_0681” labeled “Ozark #7 Mine” is from the M.F. Oxford #7 Mine (Sometimes known as the Mahoning #7 Mine) in the Cave-in-Rock District. That specimen is figured in the 1988 Rocks and Minerals article, Minerals of the Harris Creek Fluorspar District, Hardin County, Illinois on page 220.

In picture IMG_0685, in Joe and Susan Kielbaso’s case is a green fluorite is labeled as from the Okorusu Mine, Namibia. I believe it is actually from the Erongo Massif, as it strongly looks like the typical “Alien Eye Fluorites” that you see from there

The thumbnail case “IMG_0705” features many thumbnails that were formally owned by Jim and Dawn Minette and were figured in that book published by Lithographie. My favorite is that Dioptase “cross”!

I don’t know which case the fluorites from “IMG_0699 – 0702” belong to, but I did immediately recognize the fluorite labeled from Gibsonburg, Ohio. That particular fluorite was painted by Susan Robinson and at the time she painted it, it was in the collection of John Medici. You can see a smaller version of that painting on the Mineralogical Record’s website.

All these specimens are great and would certainly fit in my collection nicely! Thanks Matt for taking these pictures…

Hope everyone stays safe at Tucson (2017) this year!
