I will be in Tucson this year again in my Room 203 in the
Best Western Executive Inn This upstairs in the lobby building. If you take the right at the frontdesk and then go upstairs you will stumble automaticaly in my room. Set up day will be Thursday January 27 th 2000 and most will be ready by Friday noon. Last day of the show for me is Saturday February 12 th 2000. Here some impressions from my room last year
What will I have ? Lab growns Of course the "usual suspects" like bismuth crystals. Unfortunately not to much, so come early. I hope I will have sufficent supply of bismuth eggs as they sold out the first day in Denver last year. As I concentrated on the bismuth eggs I could not make as much bismuth crystals as usual for this year. Also you will find some lab grown stuff like copper sulfate, alum, ammonium magnesium sulfate. Due to the fact that I was pretty sold out after Munich and during the cold winter time the growth is no very efficient I donīt have to much. But there are some flats of old stock which will go away for a discounted price. Plastic Plastic boxes and mineral stands as well as my "famous" tripod egg/sphere stands are available in quantity - sorry mineral stick is still not in stock. Minerals I will again have some nice malachite and cornetite from the Congo. From my friend Manfred Schwarz (Saxony) some minerals from Romania (everything must go !!!!), stibnite at low prices in flats, and some new stuff about which I dont know yet exactly. NEW RARE SYSTEMATIC MINERALS ! For the first time Tucson I will have a vast supply of rare and unusual systematic minerals from my friend Gunnar Faerber phone +49(0)39202-61193 ** fax +49(0)39202-66892 He will be in Tucson in my room and if he is successfull will probably have his own room by 2001. He has minerals from : Chile some highlights are : Arhbarite (the
worlds best !) Iquiqueite
Here some
snapshots of specimens offered on other shows... There are many more you
may request a complete list by fax or we will put it
online soon... NEW ! CREATED OPAL FROM RUSSIA ! Last but not least I will have cut and rough man made opal from Russia. As the material was distributed in smal quantities by different middleman on the various shows. I managed now to work out a deal with the original manufacturers themselfs and can show (and sell of course) you a small selection of fine cut and rough stones in various colors, qualitys and sizes. The material is comparable to Gilson man made black opal but only at a fraction of the cost CERTIFICATE OF QUALITY PRECIOUS SYNTHETIC OPAL (black and white)
(sent in by my contact)
Some pictures of cut cabochons. Honestly thatīs not Australian but Russian ! Prices I donīt know yet exactly. Probably after Tucson there will be a list online..... |
