Tucson Gem and Mineral Show

Charlyne Gachod, center, and Daniel Huot, bottom left, both of France, look at minerals in a case during the first day of the Gem and Mineral Show at the Tucson Convention Center in 2011. Experts from all over the globe will be at this year’s event, which starts Thursday, Feb. 9.

The Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil showcase reaches its apex this weekend with the main event, The 2017 Tucson Gem & Mineral Show running Thursday, Feb. 9, through Sunday at the Tucson Convention Center, 260 S. Church Ave. 

This year's theme is "Mineral Treasures of the Midwest" (exciting!) The show is now in its 63rd year, so they know exactly what they are doing and have vendors from all over the world in attendance.
