Shows

We have an intimate venue where our vendors fill their tables full of quality specimens for sale.

Just one example of the variety and quality of pieces.

Vendors know their products require a hands-on approach and often encourage it (with gentle care, of course).

We prepare a showcase exhibit containing specimens and hand-crafted lapidary arts owned by and/or made by our club members.

Club volunteers will assist kids in craft projects.

Fossil replication is hands on!

Grand Door Prize at the 2009 Annual Show.

Some vendors come yearly with great success while new ones are always popping up, excited to meet the community.

Discerning collectors shop for their next quality mineral.

Mineral displays don't just cover the tables... they stack up vertically on shelves too!

Lapidary artists in the club are often enthusiastic enough to do demonstrations of how to facet or cab gemstones.

Guests are welcome to experience the process!

Faceted stones made during the 2009 show’s lapidary demonstration, and auctioned at the 2009 summer picnic (a member perk).
