 Posted: Dec 09, 2011 16:12 Post subject: Tucson Show 2012 |
|
|
I know that the Tucson Show is still really far, but is a so gigantic Show, it implies so much stuff, that never will be too early to launch it.
Also, the people of the Main Show has been so kind to send to me the Show poster as well as the statehood poster for the Arizona’s Centennial with the permission to publish it, that I can't resist to open this thread already and publish this two great posters.
By the way, if you want to know more about the Wulfenite of the Show´s poster you can find some other details here ->

Cleared this with Jordi in advance...
We will be vacating a really nice guest house in the eastern foothills of Tucson at the end of February...near Skyline and Kolb/Canyon Ranch...30 minutes from TCC, 10 from Westward Look. The owner is a friend and would love to rent it out during the show
It's 2 bedrooms, with living room, 3/4 kitchen (fridge, microwave, hotplate, gass BBQ), full bath, pool...and a spectacular view of the eastern Catalinas and Rincons.
She is asking $1500 for the first half of the month (Feb 1-15) and longer is easily negotiable.
If this is of interest to someone (or someones who want to share and save some serious $) send me a personal message and I will put you in touch with her

| I can second Peter's description re the views and comfort, as we just spent a couple nights with the Megaws there. Extremely nice place, if you don't care about being close to downtown.

Quick question which I am hoping someone here has the answer to...
At the TGMS Show are the 33st Annual FM-TGMS-MSA Mineralogical Symposium and Arthur Roe Memorial Micromount Symposium Seminars open to all attendees?
I am working on a post for my Tucson blog and am currently working on Seminars and Events...
Thanks in advance!
Robyn

Barcelona 01/21/2012
Tucson time. In few days everything and everybody will be concentrate in the biggest, longest and craziest world's Mineral Show!
What's up this year? I don't know, but we will see it soon. The only (almost) certain is that the group of mines of Huanggangliang in China will be one of the highlights of the Show and the number of novelties from there will increase with species like, for example, Tremolites, Danalites and some nice association of Prase Quartz with gemmy octahedral Fluorite like the specimen of the photo.
More to come...

PS: I moved to this thread all posts of the former thread of vic rzonca "Tucson 2012 Warm-up" in order to do the same as past year, so one main thread with participation of everybody and sharing here thoughts and images! ;-)
