Re: [meteorite-list] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gem and Mineral Show

Hi All, Tucson is the greatest gem and mineral show in the world. There are so many reasons why. The problem is non disclosure of an imitation or "fake", not selling one. Only when something is sold to deceive does it become a problem. Meteorites have been sold as rare falls when they are not.

Re: [meteorite-list] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gem and Mineral Show

Numbers can be deceiving. One must ask what the percentage of vendors (merchants) hosting booths or showrooms at both China and Tucson events offer meteorites and impact related artifacts, and of them, what percentage are authentic? Tucson may lose the distinction of being the largest gem and

Re: [meteorite-list] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gem and Mineral Show

The Gem and Mineral Show is the most important event for Tucson's economy which has declined to new lows the last few years. Tucson needs to be recognized for more than consistently making the top ten list of most impoverished cities in the United States. Perhaps they should double down and

Re: [meteorite-list] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gem and Mineral Show

Hi Anne and all, I can remember it being larger in the early 1990's compared to the shows after 2002. I'd multiply finding a parking spot by 3 back then to now. My opinion and memory isn't always right but it was larger then. Most people back then made reservations a year ahead of time in

Re: [meteorite-list] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gemand Mineral Show

The official Tucson Visitors site estimates attendance at 50,000 this year. I believe they estimated 90,000 last year with less than 40,000 that actually attended. http://www.visittucson.org/media/research-facts/event-profiles/ Perhaps Tucson will have a better show this year. I enjoy

Re: [meteorite-list] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gem and Mineral Show

I was an exhibitor at all these shows in China. In Chenzhou last year the government ordered all Business to close down and all people had paid holidays and free admission to the show. Attendance was mandatory. When the government in China orders you to attend, you attend. One out of every

Re: [meteorite-list] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gemand Mineral Show

Personally I look forward to attending the Tucson Show 'Every' year. It is great to visit with old friends, meet new ones and buy some incredible meteorites along the way from room to room. I also take this time of year to go hunting in the surrounding areas of Arizona, Nevada and California...

Re: [meteorite-list] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gemand Mineral Show

Yes, numbers can be deceiving. I talked to a promoter from China the last time I attended the Tucson show a few years ago. He claimed that over a billion dollars will change hands at the Chinese show since it will represent the largest market ever. For a mere $50,000.00 dollars, he could
