The Tucson Gem and Mineral show was great this year! This report includes photos of mineral specimens from many new finds.

This Iran Update includes beautiful top-quality hemimorphite groups in pale hues of blue, subtly ranging from an ice-blue to a hue a bit closer to the warmer hue of seawater. Also in this update is a striking wulfenite with a coating of calcite crystals, and several specimens of vibrant orange mimetite.
