 * Keep. This show is a very big deal.  For example, here is a writeup in the February 20, 2013 The New York Times: ("The umbrella term for an annual trade fair that is a key destination on an international circuit is the Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Showcase. The name scarcely hints at the scope of an event that takes over Tucson each winter — 43 shows in 41 locations, including hotels, motels, dusty parking lots, the city’s big convention center and tent cities set up by frontage road along Interstate 10 — drawing dealers from China, Morocco, Siberia, Tanzania, Australia and India.")   A 1984 NYT story on the show can be read here. Voluminous additional coverage can be found in the usual searches. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:44, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
