I posted previously Wayne Sorensen's display at the Westward Look on collector's day. The photo's I took then were with my iphone. We got another chance to look at Wayne's great collection at TGMS, and hopefully my pictures, taken with a regular camera, will better capture them.

Minerals from the new cuprite locality at Rubtsovskoe. Also seen are copper, copper pseudomorphs after cuprite, azurite, halides like marshite, and others.

PostPosted: Feb 27, 2011 09:10    Post subject: Tucson Show 2011 - 15 and final  

Barcelona 02/27/2011

These are my final conclusions about Tucson 2011, and with them I will finish my contributions to this thread. But this does not mean that the thread is locked, anyone with photos or something more to say can continue posting here, all such postings will more than welcome.

It seems a common opinion that this Tucson edition has been better in economic terms than previous years and, contrary to everything that was thought to happen, it appears that the finest specimens sold well although they were very expensive (or terribly expensive ;-)

About novelties, two of them seem to have been highlights: the new Cuprites from Rubtsovskoye replaced by Copper and/or with Miersite, Marshite or Silver, and with all kind of sizes and qualities; and the very spectacular Zoisites (Tanzanites) with Prehnite crystals in a Calcite matrix and with a much better natural color than we are accustomed to seeing. Unfortunately, there were just a few pieces, about forty in all, of these Tanzanites and their prices were very high but, as I said earlier, this year in Tucson the finest pieces were an easy sell.

Added to these two major novelties have been several more novelties like the attractive Plancheites from Musonoi, Chrysocollas after Boleite from the Amelia Mine, Despujolsites and huge Bixbyites from N'Chwaning II, many Ilvaites and new octahedral Fluorite and Arsenopyrites from Baotou, China, Pyromorphites from Rum Jungle, Australia, and a choice of Alabandites from Peru. Azurites from Milpillas, Jeremejevites on matrix from Erongo, Geikeilites from Zlatoust, Russia ... not too bad a year in this aspect.

Prices, the hot topic of this Show and from many other Shows…
Honestly at this point, and after all this time commenting that the prices seemed too variable and that very similar specimens are sometimes priced at $100 or $10000 (US), depending on who sold it, I give up, I surrender, and I no longer will try to understand anything, and I defer to the opinion of many in the USA: each salesperson asks the price he wants and every buyer pays what he believes is reasonable.

I know this mentality is very American and it sounds strange to Europeans, but remember, we are talking about Tucson, Arizona, USA! ;-)

See you next year!

Hi Matt,

Thanks for posting all your pictures. I really like the fluorite / galenas from Illinois. Remember the owner(s) of those specimens ? I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them was Ross Lilly.

Christophe


This was indeed Ross Lilly's case of Denton Mine Fluorites. Wonderful case!

Great shot of the architectural contrasts, Jordi. I swear I've been past that spot dozens of times and never appreciated the view. Thanks for slowing it down!

Jordi, thanks for the great photos and your thoughts. This was my first Tucson show and I was also very surprised by some of the high prices. I walked into a room at the City Center and they had a fine Jackson crossroads amethyst with no price. I asked, how much? the reply was $28,000 !!. He had a light blue tourmaline on matrix right next to this piece and he said it was $25,000!! They were nice pieces but maybe worth 20% of the asking price. I just laughed and walked out. There were a lot of good deals to be had, but it required a lot of walking. Cant wait to go back.......

Interesting...Looking at the last two pictures (0427 and 0428), these were taken with the same camera, same settings, of the same case, one after the other. Look at the color temperature - 0427 is white as it should be but for some reason my camera went all warm on 0428. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes, I did have that problem. I hate the yellow,and no matter what ISO I set it at, it might be white one time, yellow another. No idea why?

You probably have the camera set for auto white balance, which doesn't always work properly. For the mineral displays, you can set it for tungsten to get rid of the yellow. Shift back to auto or daylight for people pictures.

I am partial to isometric minerals because it is easier for me to envision miller indicies for each face. Shown here is a pyrite display with a variety of habits. I also like this display because all the specimens are approximately the same size, and i find the regularity pleasing.
