The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show is one of the biggest of its kind in the world and consequently brings millions of dollars to Tucson. There are shows like ours in set up in car parks and market places around the city and then there are shows set up within hotels and motels. They use the rooms and surrounding gardens etc for vendors to sell their wares. The furniture is removed from the rooms so that they can set up their cabinets and display cases in which they arrange the rocks, crystals, minerals, jewellery, gold, specimens, etc. Many take their own bedding and stay in the room overnight for convenience and for security!
We have friends who deal in gold only and we went to visit them at their hotel room today. It may be difficult to understand but these people are not in this business for the money. They just love what they do, like so many in this business.

Each year he has this picture displayed and people love it.
Hopefully you can click on this photo and read the label, bottom right. It is the fuel tank from a Russian satellite found in the Australian outback. You just never know what you might come across when prospecting!!
