Gail, your Tucson report 2020 is already fun though TGMS hasn't even started! It is so cool to see the passion and effort you invest to take the best of the best of the best specimens to the show. Your new Sweet Home Rhodo made me speechless, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!

I hope you and Jim and all who support you have a great show, and please bring your specimens there and back again undamaged ;-)

Can't wait for your real show report to start, it will be a great pleasure for sure. It always is :-)

Regards
Tobi

Thanks Tobi. As you know, preparation for displays is a time consuming and stressful time, but so worth it. I think getting ready for Tucson is a big part of the experience.

Looks like sleet and snow, possibly, tomorrow in Dallas. It was near 80 degrees two days ago! We are hoping to head out to Tucson at a certain scheduled time, but weather will dictate. Texas does not know what to do with snow or ice.
We shall see.

Meanwhile...packing minerals.

Excellent specimen, and a great example of hematite/rutile epitaxy.
Is there a more specific location?

Thanks Gail for the great preview.
what is the specimen just left aside of your german stephanite: is that a super bolivian bournonite?
would you mind posting a detailed photo of this one?
Have fun in Tucson!
