Regarding the American Mineral Treasures book, (
American Mineral Treasures) from my perspective, if any of these Tucson ramblings has had an interest for you, if you love American minerals, pretty pictures and a good read, please consider ordering a copy of this book! This is good money spent and I have my copy right here. The book is very well done and the $85.00 price of this book is a gift to everyone. I can't imagine anyone ordering this who won't be thrilled upon its arrival! This is among my best purchases for this year's show!!
And so, I started this entry on Friday and now it's Saturday afternoon. I've been able to type a few words here and a few words there between folks coming into the room. It's getting busy again, people coming here from the Main Show. I start breaking down the room today and will be busy late into the evening stripping the shelves of the remaining inventory and getting it ready for the couriers to pick-up tomorrow morning. I'm getting close now.
I want to visit the Main Show tomorrow and gawk some more at the treasures there, Tucson, what a wonderful adventure!

Hi Everyone,
It's about half past one in the morning. I've been grinding hard to close up my show. I started late, keeping the room open for last minute sales and then that was it and it was time. That was at five this afternoon last. It's quiet outside as I write. The door is wide open and I'm still trying to cool down after my epic tear down. Most everything is handled. The rocks are ready for their courier and the cases are stripped so the movers can haul them away. After that, I'll be out the door for a more or less full day down at the Main Show. I can't wait, another chance to see the incredible! I'm going to stay here Sunday night too and then early Monday, I'll hit the road.
I hope you've enjoyed coming along and sharing this year's Tucson adventure. If you're still hungry for more, please consider visiting the following links which include our room at this year's show. Enjoy!
All the very best everyone, take care,
John
