Arizona Mineral and Fossil Show at InnSuites

Arizona Mineral and Fossil Show at InnSuites

Jordi of Faber Minerals


I am slowly but surely recovering photos from my crashed hard drive and came across a great group from the Arizona Mineral and Fossil Show.


This show offers a really wide range of materials – houses some of the finest mineral dealers in the world (in fact it is the home of our friend Jordi Faber) – but what sets it apart is the amazing “hall of fossils”!

Sahara Overland


Shark Teeth (Megalodon no less) from the Miocene Era to paleo goodies like the full skeleton of a Saber-toothed Cat and the tools to collect and clean them from Paleo Tools.


Marine Creatures of all sizes in the Fossil Hall at the Arizona Mineral & Fossil Show in Tucson 2010.


If you want info from this show – maybe you can’t remember the name of a dealer or you found a great Tucson restaurant in the show guide and want to add their info to your trip plans for2011 – remember that you can get a .pdf of the Tucson EZ-Guide on our home page.

2010 Tucson Gem Show is over but not forgotten…


Rapa River is a small show between the Globe X and Pueblo shows, but it has some really fun things to offer...

Well – the tents have been lowered and Tucson is readying itself for the Rodeo and “Walking with the Dinousaurs”! Everyone has made it home safely with their bags of treasures.

Whether you are a jeweler, hobbyist, collector…or you just appreciate beautiful things, the Tucson Experience never disappoints. With rough shows in the gravel and fine jewelry in the designer pavilions, there is something for everyone!

The visual experience that is “Tucson” isn’t available in this range of offerings anywhere else in the world…and so with some photo memories we say goodbye to the 2010 Tucson Gem & Mineral Showcase!
