Return to TGMS 2022
Our Bisbee display at the 2022 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
The Tucson Gem and Mineral Society's yearly show triumphantly returned to the Tucson Convention Center this past February 10th-13th after a year off due to the pandemic. Normally we display a case of minerals following the show theme, but this year we joined as part of a collection of Bisbee-themed cases dedicated to Richard W. "Dick" Graeme III, former undergrond miner and famed mineral collector. The Dick Graeme cases showcased spectacular Bisbee minerals and mining artifacts from the Graeme family, local mineral collectors, prestigious mineral collecting organizations, and two museums - the AMMNRE Museum and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Enjoy some photos of our Bisbee case below.
