Tualatin Valley Gem Club's Rock and Gem Show features a variety of collections and unusual specimens of rocks (lapidary arts), wire wrapped or silversmithed gems, minerals in their crystal form, and fossils from around the world.
Come and choose your favorite exhibit or pick up a bargain rock specimen at the silent auction table. All raffle prizes and silent auction items (as well as some kids corner prizes) are privately donated (kids get a free rock). Demonstrations historically included cabochon making or wire wrapping. The Kids Corner includes fun games for children to play and fun rock prizes to add to their collections.
While you're at the show, inquire about club membership or joining our Junior Geologist learning program for kids.
The show also includes vendors with rocks, minerals, and fossils for your collections. Some of vendors will be bringing new material from the famous Tucson show (happens in February) or Quartzsite show (happens in January).
Tualatin Valley Gem Club is a non-profit organization that promotes the interests and learning of the subjects of geology, lapidary arts, paleontology and mineralogy.
