25th TIMA Tokyo Mineral Show

2012 is the 25th year of the Tokyo International Mineral Association (TIMA) Mineral show, and we wish a warm congratulations to TIMA for their success over the last quarter century.

Kristalle is proud to have been a part of this show from the very beginning, one of the few American dealers asked to participate in the first show. This is a wonderful show, in a great city with lovely people, and we really enjoy our visit to Tokyo each year.

Delving back in our photos here are a few fun ones that I found from those early days….

This is Wayne with Sue Hendrickson – yes, the famous SUE of dinosaur fame. In 1990 Sue discovered the most complete and well preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton which is nicknamed after her.

And here is how our booth looks today:

Congratulations to everyone at TIMA on the last 25 years and we look forward to celebrating with you at the show.
