The American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) has recently made revisions to its trade show regulations concerning lab-grown, man-made, and synthetic gemstones. As of the AGTA GemFair Tucson 2025, exhibitors are prohibited from showcasing loose gemstones or jewellery containing non-natural gemstones at AGTA fairs.

If only one thing could be said about this year’s Tucson GemFair, it’s that the events comprise, without a doubt, the most significant gem show around, as well as the largest gathering of jewellers and gemmologists from around the world. Passion made this show happen—and the same passion will make it continue.

Dubbed the “Dyber Illusion Lines,” Michael Dyber’s new lapidary technique creates a novel visual which can help create one-of-a-kind pieces.

Amidst the chaos, confusion, and general global unrest as of late, it can be easy to forget many of us are connected by the same passion: gemstones and jewellery.

Much to the delight of those in attendance, this year’s Tucson gem shows were as exciting and joyful as ever. As with every February, industry members came together in the desert to marvel at the colourful gemstones and oddities lining the streets.

The Tucson gem shows have yet again struck our hearts and wallets. Each February, the city comes alive with tourists and professionals alike, converging to gape at the fossils, crystals, jewellery, and oddities that line the streets in need of homes.
