The Tucson Gem and Minerals start in Feb.
Every February, mobs of rockhounders, gem dealers, paleontologists, Native Americans, geologists and the just plain curious converge on Tucson, Arizona for the annual Gem & Mineral Show. During the Winter 2016 Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil event, over 30 different independently owned and operated shows are held during the month, with over 3,000 exhibitors citywide.
