gem show

Rock collector's convention

A gem show is an exhibition or marketplace where minerals, gemstones, fossils, and jewelry are displayed and sold.

These events range from small local gatherings to major annual conventions that draw dealers, collectors, and enthusiasts from around the world: We found some beautiful turquoise at the Tucson gem show.

Gem shows typically feature both raw specimens and finished pieces.
