It's that time of year again. Friends and colleagues are calling from across the country to let us know they are making plans for the trek to southern Arizona for the Tucson Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Showcase, from Jan 31 - Feb 15, capped off by the 55th annual Tucson Gem & Mineral Show, that fill this town with 100,000 buyers, sellers, and afficionados.
The theme this year of the formal TGMS show is "Mineral Oddities."
