Chase Pipes, a historian, archaeologist, paleontologist, and anthropologist, is the proprietor of the Smoky Mountain Relic Room in Sevierville, Tennessee. In early 2020, Chase Pipes and the crew from the Relic Room attended the Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show. This event was an opportunity for enthusiasts, hosts and attendees to make history accessible (and interesting) to others. Billed as one of the largest shows of its kind, the Tucson Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show had the city under occupation for the few days by artifact enthusiasts. It also presented the opportunity for the crew at the Smoky Mountain Relic Room to make history accessible to others, a central mission of the shop’s owner. This year, the crew acquired crystals, minerals, and meteorites from as far away as Brazil, the Congo, Madagascar, and Sweden to bring back and share with people who shop at the store. These, as well as other purchases made from the show, were in line with the shop’s policies of legally purchasing artifacts through reputable sellers. via WordPress https://ift.tt/2Id6LyH
