FFor two weeks every winter, the rock and gem world meets in Tucson as it becomes a bustling, international marketplace of buyers and sellers at the Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase. The “Gem Show” is much more than a single event at one location. Rather, there

are thousands of participants and attendees at nearly 50 sites around town, gem shows all taking place at the same time - in giant white tents, at hotels and resorts, and at exhibit halls.

There’s something for everyone at the many open-to-the-public shows—from gold and diamonds to granite bookends and glass beads, and from fi ne specimens of dinosaur fossils to opals dug from the Australian Outback.

Most of the gem and mineral shows around Tucson are free and hours vary. For show schedule, vendor lists, and fl oorplans for the 2012 Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase go to www.xpopress.com. For information about individual shows use the contact information below.

Quartzsite, Arizona, barely 20 miles east of the Colorado river on I-10, may be the snowbird capital of the world, and the town has been a

rockhound’s dream since the 1960s. Quartzsite has indeed become a mecca to well over a million visitors and hundreds of vendors for rocks, gems, mineral specimens and fossils during the town’s famous two-month-long gem show and swap meet every January and February. From its humble beginnings the now-massive Quartzsite show has grown to RV-epic proportions, with vendors offering everything from a Navajo rug to a new turbo-charged RV engine. Admission is free as is camping on the nearby government lands, where RVers claim a bit of dusty desert soil for their very own. Quartzsite is HOT and folks are scarce in the summer when the temp tops 100 degrees as often as not. In the winter, when the town of a few hundred permanent residents swells to tens of thousands at a time (most in RVs), the temperature is typically mild with sunny skies, so if you show up bring shorts and suntan lotion.

For more Quartzsite show information go to www.xpopress.com.
