Pierre - so a possible solution would be to publish an issue (of MR or R&M??) that addresses certain sections of the overall show, such as:
1 - findings at early openings
2- the HTCC Show summary including the white house (fine minerals internationsl)
3 - satellite shows (pueblo, elks,etc.)
4 - Westward Look show
5 - presentations and events
6 - the TGMS show including the display cases and saturday night presentations
7 - thoughts and observation
maybe these could be split out into subsections of the Tucson 2018 FMF thread??
anyway, i think you are indirectly arguing for what i am suggesting.

FMF and Mindat are both designed to discuss all things mineralogical and to a degree, geological, as it should be, excluding item value. Topics are categorized, and contained within them are threads relating to a specific discussion. One can choose to read a topic/discussion and in cases, respond, or not. If the major topic of Tucson or other worldwide mineral shows is of no interest, choose not to read the thread.

You seem to be missing my point. I also read Tuscon reports. Not all. It is just difficult to find other topics as the Newest Topics box gets crammed.

Browsing through these posts I realized I have photos of a few minerals that were on display at this show that haven’t been posted yet, better late than never! I will put info about the pieces where I can but mostly just things that appealed to me. Dimensions are approx.
Enjoy, Greg

Quite sure from Pakistan. Such tabular spinel-law pink fluorites (often associated with muscovite) appear in Hunza Valley (Nagar and Chumar Bakhoor).
Thanks for the photos :-)

Thanks Tobi,
Actually now that I think about it, I don’t remember asking about location, I was just blown away by the specimen's size and aesthetics, Greg
