New for 2021 is the virtual show, TheRock.show. TheRock.show team's goal was to build a virtual analog of the greater mineral/gem/fossil show community ... a virtual Tucson experience during these extraordinary times. TheRock.show platform itself was developed by an international team of developers, headed up by Jolyon Ralph, founder of mindat.org.
TheRock.show, is a virtual mineral, gem, fossil and lapidary show, and is opened to the public from Saturday, April 10 through Sunday, April 18, 2021. The site is totally free for anyone to roam around and explore. However, if you want to participate in a Live Chat and inquire about items for sale, you will have to register.
The Tucson Gem and Mineral Society (use this link to go to our virtual booth: https://therock.show/room/2/58/114/) is participating in this event along with numerous other educational organizations, university museums, publishers and dealers (wholesale and retail). It is providing a wonderful opportunity to still enjoy the January/February mineral, gem, fossil and lapidary events.
