With great admiration and respect, I dedicate my 2014 Tucson Show Report to two remarkable women, Gail Spann and Aisha Jan. Both of these courageous and beautiful women have heightened my awareness and appreciation of the mineral world.

Haha. Dr Lum, I hope I have learned my lesson. People are more important than rocks :-)

Pierre, it is easier for me (so I don't duplicate) to stay in chronological order because at the start of my experience I had taken a lot of pictures of people that I have been wanting to meet for a long time. Also I used another camera and two cell phones so some of the pictures will be out of sequence.
Thanks.
Don

Let me add my congratulations for your report, a balanced mix of Tucson ambiance, interesting stuff and warm human relations.
This encourage me to plan a peregrination to Tucson-Mecca one of these years...

Thank you, Josele. I sincerely hope you can travel to Tucson for the show. It was an eye-opener for me. It was everything I had anticipated and more. If I understand correctly there were 400 dealers at the Pueblo Gem and Mineral Show at The Riverpark Inn and 300 dealers at the Tucson City Center (formerly The Inn Suites) and these were only two of forty-two shows going on in the two to three weeks beginning the end of January. I don't know how many dealers there were at the TGMS the last weekend. I think the motto of the Tucson Show should be "If we don't have it, you don't need it."
