Bringing 2024 in With Mystic Moraine
Jan/Feb 2024
Holidays with the Mystic Family
After a month break from our Exclusive Club Newsletter we are excited to wish everyone a very happy New Year and hope that everyone survived our January snow storms.
The Mystic Moraine Minerals team celebrated the Holiday's together for our annual Christmas party at our favorite Mexican restaurant. The staff at El Jardin are always a pleasure. It was great to all get together in the same place and share a meal and good times.
Where in the World are Jack and Melissa?
Jack, Melissa and Noah are all enjoying the world renowned Tucson Gem and Mineral show.
The Tucson Gem Show is the biggest and best gem and mineral show in the world. Each year from late January through mid-February Tucson Arizona fills with visitors. More than 65,000 people come to attend the 48 different gem show locations throughout the city. The exhibitions go from the second week of January through the 25th of February.
The Mystic Moraine Minerals booth is part of the 22nd street shows, located on 22nd street in the Main tent.
Thousands of dealers who stock minerals, gems, fossils, dinosaurs, meteorites, jewelry, beads, art and many other items dot the city. Each location offers something different and one could spend days perusing the show tents and still not see everything. People travel from all over the world to bring their collections to the public. Venders from Brazil, Madagascar, China, Russia and more bringing their countries minerals. Artisans from all corners of the world coming together to make this show truly magical.

February Mineral of the Month - Calcite
Calcite is the most common form of natural calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a widely distributed mineral known for the beautiful development and great variety of its crystals. It is polymorphous (same chemical formula but different crystal structure) with the minerals aragonite and vaterite and with several forms that apparently exist only under rather extreme experimental conditions.
The carbonate minerals calcite, aragonite, and dolomite have been calculated to make up approximately 15 percent of the Earth’s sediments and sedimentary rocks and about 2 percent of the terrestrial crust. A large percentage of the calcite, the most abundant of these carbonate minerals, occurs in limestones, which constitute noteworthy proportions of many sequences of marine sediments.

Events here at Mystic Moraine Minerals.
Very soon we will be hosting events and crafting days here at Mystic Moraine! We are looking for crafters, educators, and fellow mineral fans who may have interest in hosting an event in our newly refreshed back room. Whether it be teaching a wire-wrapping class, or crafting crystal trees, we would love to foster your talent and bring creativity to our Mystic Moraine community.
