Breakfast With Minerals
Stimulating conversations about minerals and mineral collecting as we start our day
About the show
In this podcast we gather some of the most influential people in the mineral-collecting world and we chat about minerals over breakfast.
Hosted by Dallas-based mineral collectors Gail and Jim Spann, we get together at the Fine Mineral Show: Tucson (aka The Westward Look Show) and at the Fine Mineral Show: Denver and discuss relevant topics affecting all collectors.
