The Tucson 2012 Shows

Hershel Friedman once again made his rounds at the various shows in Tucson this year, with a special emphasis on the Westward Look, InnSuites, Pueblo, and the main Convention Center show. Besides for spreading the word about the website, Hershel made important contacts with many fine mineral and gemstone dealers.

Many great mineral photos were taken by Hershel at the different shows, and the best of these photos are posted on our show report in the blog. You can see them here:

- The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show (The Main Show)
- The InnSuites Show, Part 2
- The Pueblo Show
- The InnSuites Show, Part 1
- The Westward Look Show

We have also added many of the photos we took to the mineral detail pages as new photos.

Tucson 2012 Mineral Video

We are in the midst of putting together a short video of the Tucson shows this year. The video will highlight many fine specimens encountered at the Tucson shows. Stay tuned as we'll have this ready soon.

Mineral And Gemstone New Listing Page Format

We have revamped both the mineral and gemstone listing pages to use thumbnails instead of plain text! This enhances the user experience and makes the pages more user-friendly.
