Hi Adam and List,
Biggest? Maybe. Best? No. From what I have heard about Chinese
rock shows - many of the specimens are bogus. Fake Moldavite. Fake
fossils. Fake meteorites. I realize this problem is not restricted to

Dear List Members,
I was shocked to hear that the Tucson Gem and Mineral show is no longer the
world's largest. It looks like China is in first place with attendance
figures of over 380,000 for a four day event in 2015 compared to less than

Greetings all,
Wondering what the attendance of the Tucson show was in the 1990's.
If I had to guess I'd say 200,000 or more. I can remember it being so
much larger than past years I have been able to attend. I remember
trying to find parking spots for a half hour or more. You learn to
walk to
Frankly Al,
I have been going to the Tucson show since the year 2000, and it seems to be
just as busy, crowded now as it was then. I hear the same complaints about
parking.
I would love to know how whomever came up with this number managed to count
people. There are shows all over the city,
