Houston Fine Mineral Show

Voelter Minerals will be heading to the Texas Gulf Coast for this weekend's Houston Fine Mineral Show!

The show will take place at the Embassy Suites Hotel on Sage Road in the Galleria area.  The show officially kicks off at 10AM on Friday and runs until 6PM the first day.  Saturday's hours are the same and Sunday's hours are from 10AM until 5PM.

We will have selections from our inventory on hand so stop by and see us if you are in the area.

What is the Ore Bucket?

We here at Voelter Minerals used to have a section on our main web site called "what's happening" that was intended to be a "blog" of sorts but never really took off.  It was mostly just static pages of pictures of prior events we were a part of, such as the 2012 mineral and fossil show in Tucson, Arizona.

Now, with the 2013 version of that same show fast approaching, we've decided to launch a real blog that will contain stories and pictures from shows like Tucson, Denver, Houston, Munich or wherever else our travels take us.

And minerals, of course!  We specialize in fine minerals so there will be plenty of information regarding minerals, mineral collecting and more as we go along.  Lots of pictures and maybe even some video as well.

So that is the primary purpose of this blog.  We want this to be a fun and interactive place for all involved and we invite you to share your thoughts along the way.
