Diamonds in the Dust
No bed and breakfast traveler can resist the gleam of luxurious diamonds. Every year Tucson hosts its annual Gem and Mineral Show, the ideal place for a bed and breakfast traveler to find the perfect stone for an engagement ring. Held on the second weekend in February at the Tucson Convention Center, the show is one of Tucson's premiere events, attracting thousands of attendees and over 250 gemstone, mineral and fossil dealers.
Dozens of shows and exhibits take place in huge white tents and booths all through the downtown area and treasure hunters gather from all over the world to buy, sell and take in the rare pieces from both museum and private collections. If you are planning to join the hunt, make sure you book your bed and breakfast lodging way in advance since lodges are usually filled to capacity. You can do so by searching LanierBB.com to find the right Tucson bed and breakfast for your Arizona getaway.
