The Granada Gallery Mineral & Fossil Show offers an intimate, gallery-style buying experience in the heart of the Tucson gem show district on Granada Avenue. Running for over three weeks from late January through mid-February, Granada Gallery provides one of the longest windows of any Tucson show, giving buyers exceptional flexibility to visit at their convenience. Admission is free, and the show attracts a curated selection of dealers specializing in fine mineral specimens and quality fossil material.
What distinguishes Granada Gallery from the larger tent shows and convention events is its emphasis on presentation and quality. Dealers here tend to showcase carefully selected inventory in well-lit display settings, making it easier to evaluate specimens accurately. You will find fine minerals from worldwide localities, prepared fossil plates, and select gemstone material presented with the attention to detail that serious collectors and specialty retailers appreciate. The smaller scale fosters direct conversation with dealers who can speak knowledgeably about provenance, locality, and market value.
For wholesale buyers, Granada Gallery serves as an excellent complement to the larger mineral shows like Mineral City and Westward Look. The price range is broad — from accessible specimens under a hundred dollars to premium pieces for advanced collectors — and many dealers are open to trade pricing for credentialed buyers making multiple purchases. The show’s location on Granada Avenue also places it within walking distance of GJX and the TCC shows, making it easy to incorporate into a day spent working the downtown Tucson gem show 2026 circuit.
The extended run of the Granada Gallery means inventory evolves throughout the season as dealers sell and restock. Visiting more than once — early for first pick and again in the second week for fresh arrivals — is a sound strategy for wholesale buyers who want to maximize their sourcing opportunities at this understated but rewarding Tucson venue.
