] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gem and Mineral
Show
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 compar
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 10-1
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 orde

Frankly Al,

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 m

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. Sa

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

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
Chinese shows, but China has made an art-form out of specimen forgery.

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
40,000 for Tucson.
