Tucson
The Mecca for Global Mineral & Gem Enthusiasts
Located in Arizona, USA, Tucson embodies the authentic spirit of the Southwest. Its guest ranches, horseback riding, and cattle drives transport visitors back to the Old West.
The annual Tucson Show in February is a spectacular gem event. Over 40 specialized exhibitions featuring minerals, fossils, jewelry, artwork, and collectibles are held successively. World-renowned institutions—including the Smithsonian, American Museum of Natural History, and Université Paris—showcase their collections here.
Thousands of mineral dealers, collectors, paleontologists, and geologists from across the globe gather annually to exhibit, admire, and acquire exquisite mineral specimens and rare gems. Spread across 33 districts throughout the city, exhibits fill convention centers, hotels, and tents—making this the world’s largest and most influential mineral, fossil, and jewelry exhibition.
