For nearly 60 years, they traveled together acquiring minerals, setting up at mineral shows, writing article after article, teaching mineralogy at colleges, sharing their knowledge, and encouraging new mineral collectors of all ages.Si passed away in February 2020, but Ann is still going strong – even putting together a 50-mineral case exhibit at the 2022 East Coast Mineral Show. Join us this afternoon as Alan Hart, former Director of the Natural History Museum, London, sits down with Ann for a “Hart to Heart” conversation about her past, about Quartz, and about the future of mineral collecting.This is the first in an ongoing series of “Hart to Heart” interviews, brought to you exclusively by the Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tucson/alan-hart-and-ann-fraizer-talk-for-the-tucson-gem-and-fine-mineral-show-2026/100001976620624497 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Tucson - **state**: AZ - **country**: United States - **location**: 465 W St Marys Rd - **lat**: 32.2273109 - **long**: -110.9787555 - **full address**: 465 W St Marys Rd, 465 W St Marys Rd, Tucson, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Alan Hart & Ann Fraizer Talk for the Tucson Gem & Fine Mineral Show 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/617d639e1946aa82b5f91fd6f44573f493d3c6b6544d06ea2f7c28a4aa4fd4ef-rimg-w1200-h600-dca6c3ee-gmir.jpg?v=1766059222 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Alan Hart & Ann Fraizer Talk for the Tucson Gem & Fine Mineral Show 2026 being held? - **A:** Alan Hart & Ann Fraizer Talk for the Tucson Gem & Fine Mineral Show 2026 takes place on Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Fri, 06 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm at 465 W St Marys Rd, 465 W St Marys Rd, Tucson, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Alan Hart & Ann Fraizer Talk for the Tucson Gem & Fine Mineral Show 2026? - **A:** Alan Hart & Ann Fraizer Talk for the Tucson Gem & Fine Mineral Show 2026 is organized by The Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
