Evan Jones Talk for the Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery's 'Spring Showcase'

The story of the Jones collection starts in the late 1940's in Connecticut when Bob Jones began to get serious about collecting minerals. Like many collections, it underwent a few transformations and changes of focus in the ensuing decades. By the late 1980's Bob's son Evan assumed curation, ultimately transforming it into an all Arizona locality collection. In this presentation, Evan shares the stories behind some of his favorite specimens and a few recent additions to the collection.
