April 13, 2013 One last blast of Tucson! - Before leaving Tucson I paid a vist to Ken Roberts. Ken makes regular trips to China and I was surprised to see the quality of the specimens he had and the prices he was asking in comparison to the numerous Chinese dealers at Tucson who had material of lesser quality and an extra zero on the end of the prices! He also had a selection of non-Chinese minerals from various locations. click the
