More of the Main Show, the exhibits are stunning. It took me 4 hours to see them all and OMG, some of the specimens are simply incredible. Paula and Les Presmick and Evan Jones have contributed an amazing quantity of specimens with the additions of other AZ collectors contributions makes for a display of the best specimens and on occasion rarely seen in public. Every main mining locality or district or significant mineral occurrence is represented.
Here are a few pics accented with my bias towards wulfenite.

Well, you know, after all these weeks here in Tucson with my Master correcting my unlimited faults (looks his terrible face ;-) I permit myself some evasion before fly back tomorrow to Barcelona, where when I re-start my own life, I will write a chronicle with my thoughts of this Tucson 2012 edition as well as my ten favorites of the displays of the Main Show.
Please more posts and thank you to the people who is already posting!

Thanks TGMS and Peter Megaw for a FANTASTIC ARIZONA MINERAL DISPLAY SUITE!
For those who could not visit, the displays were truly worth a trip to Tucson on their own even counting out alll good friends, other great minerals, incredible weather and beautiful Sonora desert!
Now back to reality in Europe!
Peter
