Remember in school when they made us identify different minerals based on stuff like their hardness, their luster, their streak, etc.? Yeah, that sucked. I mean, I’m all about minerals hanging out and looking cool, but I’d rather someone just tell me what they are. No one wins in a mineral guessing game. The second annual Dallas Fine Mineral Show is going on this weekend, and happily, there will be no quizzes involved. Check out a crazy awesome show of semi-precious mineral specimens at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 14021 Noel Road (near the Galleria), from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Approximately 50 different mineral dealers from all across the globe will be displaying and selling their unique fine minerals. (I’m rooting for hematite for best in show.) For directions or more information, visit dallasfinemineralshow.com.

Fri., May 2, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sat., May 3, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sun., May 4, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., 2008
