GIGM Quality Inn Gem & Mineral Show 2026: Dates, Location & Guide
GIGM Show Cluster Guide
The Quality Inn venue is the southern anchor of the GIGM show cluster. It is adjacent to Motel 6, and these two venues share a massive parking area. The Red Lion Inn is located 1.2 miles north.
Efficient Routing Strategy:
- Southern Hub: Since this venue is right next to Motel 6, you can park once in the large shared lot and visit both shows on foot.
- Drive to Red Lion: After finishing your visit here, drive 3-4 minutes (1.2 miles) north to the Red Lion Inn.
- Walking Warning: Walking to Red Lion is not recommended. The distance is too far, dusty, and exposed to Tucson’s extreme heat or cold.

Customer reviews of this show
Lots of rough material
The people from Brazil they don’t put prices on the stones most of it done by the gram. So it is really hard to tell the prices. The show itself does not have many flats but lots of raw material. I did manage to find a few rare raw stones from a seller based in Germany
Don't miss! more vendors are outside.
I missed seeing some booths because this show is a bit complicated structure. I realized that many vendors located outside of the building (backside of the building) when I had left there. This showplace was bigger than it looks.
Brazilian Crystal shop MINEC is the best vendor
As you know, there are so many Brazilian crystal shops in the Tucson gem show, but MINES is one of the high-quality minerals and trustworthy shop. They have authentic Lemurian Quartz, rutilated quartz, and Natural Citrine crystals. Plus, they were very friendly.
