[Rockhounds] AD: TGMS Show preview - Charlie Key Collection

[Tom Corson]

Fellow collectors,

As previously announced, I have recently completed the purchase of a
significant portion of the Charlie Key Collection of African minerals. There
are approximately 800 specimens in the collection and they will be making
their debut at the upcoming Tucson Gem & Mineral Show, February 14-17. These
are world-class pieces from his 30+ years of collecting experience there! 

Some of the species (and localities) represented are:

Amethyst - Kenya
Aquamarine - Erongo
Calcite - Wessels and N'Chwaning II
Demantoid - Erongo
Dioptase - Kaokoveld
Elbaite - Namibia
Ettringite - N'Chwaning II
Fluorite - Erongo
Hematite (crystals) - Wessels
Kutnahorite - Wessels
Microcline - Erongo
Prehnite - Brandberg
Rhodochrosite - Wessels
Schorl - Erongo
and many others...

You can view a sampling of about 2 dozen of the Key Collection specimens on
my website:

Charlie Key specimens are known for their impressive quality!

So, if you are coming to Tucson for the TGMS show, be sure to stop by our
booth at the main show at the convention center. We are in booth 14 East.

Even if you are not coming to buy, stop by and say "Hi" anyway! I'd really
enjoy meeting any list member in person!

Best regards,
