![]() This Show is our annual gift to Tucson and within you will find a unique world-class pop-up mineral museum that will exist for four days and vanish never to be seen again. ![]() The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show® is put on by a home-grown group of volunteer mineral enthusiasts many of whom collect Quartz-Family minerals and live to share our love of all minerals, rocks, fossils and Earth Science. The basic building block of this family is SiO2-Silica, which is a key component of much of the earth’s crust and from which we derive essential daily products ranging from glass to the silicon chips in just about every electronic device we have. We expect Quartz is familiar to almost everyone since it, and its relatives, including Petrified Wood- Arizona’s State Fossil are everywhere. This year TGMS is celebrating the many members of the Quartz Family through our “Agates and Opals and Quartz, Oh My!” theme. Welcome to the 68th Tucson Gem and Mineral Show®, the culmination of the three weeks of mineral madness here in the Old Pueblo that have grown to legendary status worldwide.
