Rapa River Gem & Mineral Show

I call to get a vendor spot and the guy promoter told us it was okay to come and set up . We came from a long way rented a uhaul cost us around 2,000 dollars . Plus gas…. Once we got there the old couple who was in the front of the rapa river show that sell Mexican minerals. didn’t like us and talk to the promoter to not set up because we sold Mexican minerals & are doing competition to them, and since the promoter & them are friends he basically told us that we couldn’t set up.. made us lose a lot of money and time.. I belived that competition it’s always healthy for any business because the customer has different options & different prices to buy from. Mexico is big country and have a wide variety of minerals. We all carry different minerals from Mexico. I don’t know why some people are so greedy and want everything for them …

The dealers that have been going to Rapa River for years are the best, for me it’s a safe place to go for quality minerals, their treatment is also really good. I was able to find excellent quality of peruvian minerals in a large stan at the back and couldn’t find in other shows, the man goes every year I highly recommend to visit

There’s some handmade stuff there that is unique and I didn’t see anywhere else in Tucson, some crochet, wire wrapping, lots of options and seemed like great prices.

Great show! Easy to get around great variety😁

I want introduce some kinds of Pakistani stones and tourmaline
