TGMS General Meeting & Lecture

  • Tucson Gem and Mineral Society 3727 E Blacklidge Dr Tucson, AZ, 85716 United States (map)

PLACE: 3727 E. Blacklidge Drive
TIME:  7:00 p.m. – Tucson, Arizona Time
WHEN: Monday, April 7, 2025

LECTURE:  "Tombstone, Tawdry Tellurates from the Town Too Tough to Die” - From Boot Hill to the 400 Level of the Empire Mine, we'll take a tour through the Town Too Tough to Die juxtaposing her tellurium and base metal mineralogy with the tawdrier aspects of her history and tourist trade...all based on 45 years of studying both.

SPEAKER:  Dr. Peter K.M. Megaw - “I've been a member of TGMS since 1979 and Exhibits Chair for our Show since 1985. Most of you know me and Mike will probably say I need no introduction, so I will take another opportunity to thank all of you who worked so hard to make our Show a success...especially Kent and the lining crew and Robert and Elaine for case wrangling. They're "retiring" so we need volunteers to step up for next year! Emulate the Pitt family and make it a family affair!

And I would be remiss if I didn't put in a whopping Gracias to Pat and Rose and Tim for everything they do every day for TGMS!!!  Thank our Lucky Stars for them!!

See you Monday the 7th!”
