The mineral madness begins this week.
The Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase officially kicks off Saturday, Jan. 27 and runs through Sunday, Feb. 11, although a few shows are already rocking.
There are 47 shows this year with plenty of fossils, meteorites and crystals to ooh and ahh over.
The theme of the 64th Tucson Gem and Mineral Show is "Crystals and Crystal Forms," so we're expecting plenty of sparkly displays.
