Welcome to a slice of time in the world of mineral collecting.

John Veevaert was one of the pioneers of using the internet as a new avenue to sell minerals, with his main selling site, www.trinityminerals.com, as well as his auction venue (still a going concern), www.mineral-auctions.com.

Indeed, over the years, John added many additional domains to his complex of websites, revealing his many and varied interests in mineral books, rare minerals, Benitoite, and minerals from Tsumeb. (To name a few!)

(See the list of links in the green/blue just above this note).

John's untimely death caught us all by surprise. John's wife Ronna is following in his footsteps, continuing to operate the auction sites, and finding great agate specimens to offer from her own business.

Ronna has decided to keep John's older sites (including this one) online. In some cases (www.mineralbooks.com), she intends rejuvination. In others (such as this site), she hopes to keep the site up in pretty much the same state it was in when John's work was cut short.

Note: there were some broken links where it was obvious to us what they were intended to be, and the original laink target (page) was still there. We have fixed some of these cases.

While John's concept for mineralshows.com was indeed integral to his business as a mineral dealer, it's plain to see that this chronicle of major mineral shows covering the first decades of the 21rst century was a labor of love, of great rocks, but even more, of great people he met in the collecting/dealing world along the way.

Welcome to the 2018 Tucson Show edition of the MineralShows.Com Tucson Show.  Click visit the 2018 Tucson show to see what's happening in Tucson.

All of the relevant links on this page are located on the bars at the top and bottom of each page.   


 

There will be three online auctions with mineral and agate specimens for your consideration.  The first will start January 26th. I will be preparing several show reports on what I see that is new at Tucson and will be offering specimens from the show on my website during the show.   

I will also be showing minerals in Tucson at three different venues.  Here are a couple of teaser items that I will be offering at the Just Minerals Event:

Smoky /Amethyst Scepters from Crystal Park, Beaverhead Co., Montana

 

New find of crystallized gold from the Fire Creek Mine, Lander Co., Nevada

 

I have numerous specimens of each type that will be available at the Just Minerals Event at the Elk's Lodge. 

The first will be at the Elk's Lodge "Just Minerals Event" from January 28-30.

 

The second show is a new show that opened last year for the first time.  There is a large tent that will be set up for close to 25 dealers.  Ronna Jewett's Gaia Agates and Trinity Mineral Company will be there.  There'll be a lot of good affordable specimens available!!

The New Mineral Show

January 30 - February 5, 2018

1102 West Grant Road, Tucson, Arizona 85705

 

 

The third show is a one day show on February 5th dedicated to Tsumeb minerals. It will also be located at the Elk's Lodge.  If you want to attend this event then you have to contact Debbie Boyer at debbie@crystalclassics to let her know you'd like to attend.

  

You can also follow me on Twitter and Facebook . I will be sending out regular "tweets" and notes on Facebook about what I am seeing at the various venues in Tucson.  You can locate me on twitter.com under my name - "John Veevaert" or "Mineralshows".  On Facebook search for me using my name - "John Veevaert" or my email which is "john@trinityminerals.com".  I will oblige you.  I will start the verbiage once I get to Tucson and there will be frequent messages sent out on what is new as I see it.  Twitter & Facebook are easy and 100% free to use.

          
    
 
Please Note:
All specimens from the Auctions and Tucson Show Galleries will be shipped after the 16th of February.   I wish I was superman but to try and do it all would probably put me into an early grave... I am not ready for that yet.
