Gene Meieran Talk for the Tucson Gem & Fine Mineral Show 2026

In a Who’s Who list of top-tier mineral collectors active in the world today, Dr. Gene Meieran would rank near the top. He regularly amazes attendees of the TGMS Show in Tucson with his incredible exhibits from his personal collection, and he remains deeply active in the mineral collecting community.

So what’s his plan for his collection after he passes? Gene thought he had it all figured out – until the almost unthinkable happened. This past summer, if not for the quick actions of some colleagues in our industry, we very well could have lost Gene.

In the wake of this near-tragedy, Gene realized that his plan might not have been as complete as he once thought. Join us for this down-to-earth talk as Gene shares his story: what happened, how he was saved, and what steps he took to better prepare the world for a future without him.
