The 53rd Annual Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Expo takes place Friday, March 17-Sunday, March 19!

Treasures of the Earth – the 53rd Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Expo – takes place Friday, March 15 – Sunday, March 17, at the Creative Arts Center on the NM State Fairgrounds. The theme this year is “Vanadinite” – a dense, brittle mineral usually found in the form of red hexagonal crystals.

Admission is $2.00 Friday, and $5.00 Saturday or Sunday!  The Expo is free for kids under 13 years of age.  There will be Door Prizes, a Silent Auction, and a Raffle!

Hours are:
Friday 10 am – 6 pm
Saturday 10 am – 6 pm
Sunday 10 am – 5 pm

It’s all put on by the Albuquerque Gem & Mineral Club.  We’ll have over 50 dealers selling everything from amethyst cathedrals to Zebra rock, rocks and minerals inexpensive to moderately priced. You will find gems (crystals, faceted, cabs, rough, and set in jewelry), decorator items, and jewelry, books and supplies, beads, and lots more. We’ll have a mineral ID Booth, an educational booth from the NM Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (both a display and maps, books, and guidebooks), stuff for kids, and three silent auctions per day. We will have displays (about 20), most of them educational, all of them interesting! Displays provided by junior and adult members.
