I apologize for taking so long to finish my 2016 Tucson Show Report and feel a bit uncomfortable continuing since Jordi has published his final thoughts on the subject.
My observation, for what it is worth, is that parts of the Tucson show, excluding the TGMS and other venues seem more like wild anything goes, no holds barred, free-for-alls.

| Don, I heard about your stunning case on Facebook, but until just now had not actually seen a photo. WOW!! An excellent case, very nicely setup and presented. I now remember seeing it, but didn't realize it was yours. It would be nice to see a few more closeups.

We appreciate your comment. May have a few close ups we can post.

Yes, it truly was a stunning display. 2016 will go down as the best group of cases competing for the Desautels Trophy in my 30 years of overseeing the competitive displays for the Tucson Show. There were 8 exhibitors competing for the TGMS top prize and any one of 5 could have won the trophy. The Lum's case was certainly one of the contenders. The winner, Brent Lockhart, had entered at least three times before winning. I hope the Lums and the others will continue to bring back their beautiful exhibits.
Thank you.

Don, I have to agree with everyone here that your case is truly breathtaking!
Were some of these specimens featured in past editions of What’s Hot in Tucson? I believe I remember seeing the aquamarine on the second shelf to the far left (if I remember it was called the “Peaks of Pakistan”) and the large Chinese calcite and Realgar on the top shelf in the middle were two specimens featured in the video...
Though, all of these specimens are wonderful.
