Tucson Gem & Mineral Show.
Around the beginning of every February, the world's largest gemstone, mineral & fossil show takes place in Tucson.
Dealers & collectors from all over the world, arrive to buy, sell or simply enjoy the huge array of exhibits on display.
I set up my display at the "Mineral & Fossil Marketplace" which is located at 1333 N. Oracle, Tucson.
Next years show starts on January 29 and runs until February 12, 2011.
