The Arkenstone hosted the welcome party on Friday evening for guests purchasing the full experience or the social package. This evening cocktail party is a great way to view fine minerals and chat with other excited collectors.
Lectures were hosted at our new state-of-the-art lecture hall at the Eisemann Center. After, a new banquet and benefit auction raised over $20,000 in funds for the Mineralogical Record, Rocks & Gems, and the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
Visit the Perot Museum in town, or stop back by The Arkenstone for coffee and bagels for a relaxing end to the weekend.
