I have to see about getting my risers ready for the my competition mineral display case I am submitting to the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show. This year I will be competing in the advanced level, so I really have to make sure everything is on point. I did really well and won first place in my category and best overall in my division last. I am hoping to do that well this year. I have removed my low scoring specimens, and have replaced them with better, rarer, and more expensive examples.
It is fun to display my mineral collection for judging, but it is also nerve racking…
