I appreciate the time and effort you all put into that, sounds like even those absent like me will still be able to get to experience the show to a fairly good degree.
Gail, I noticed there are some threads of photos you've taken for prior shows. Do you only post the photos and other media you take from shows here on FMF or do you have a site or blog? If so I'd sure like to get the link. |

I wanted to thank Justin Zzyzx at "The Vug" for taking some great photos of the special TGMS case that Jim Bleess and I organized and that met with some initial skepticism from what I remember -- the case entitled "Connoisseur Thumbnails."
https://www.the-vug.com/vug/article269.html
We had about 80 specimens, but as it turned out the case worked beautifully and was extremely well received by collectors and lay people alike. I submit that the specimens we showcased -- loaned by many of the the major TN collectors in the hobby -- competed well with the larger gem crystals and specimens on display at the show.
Cheers,
Jim

| Jim, the case was very beautiful and informative. Fun to chat with those that added to it, a personal tour was given by so many, nice!

Thanks, Gail
Indeed, a new tradition has begun... the "Connoisseur Thumbnails" will be a regular exhibit from now on. Jim Bleess and I already have some great ideas for the next go around!
Cheers,

| I had not seen a really good thumbnail display until I saw this case at Tucson. There is something really cool about a whole bunch of very nice, similarly sized pieces lined up. I enjoyed it. Thanks.

Matt, thanks so much for your kind words and taking time to comment.
It surprises me sometimes that thumbnails do not always receive the due attention, recognition and discussion they deserve.
Cheers!

Seen on the road to Cochise's Stronghold. Could it be because of the gravity of the mineral show? Or the shear weight of the inventory moved into the Tucson valley?

I think if you look carefully you'll see Jordi's room at the end of it.

Some very course granite pegmatites from the Sapo mine. Bodies for scale.
