The Denver Gem & Mineral Show and concurrent Colorado Fossil Expo offer a spectacular view of the earth sciences and lapidary arts, through exhibits and dealer displays from around the world. 300 vendors and exhibits in the two shows display and sell minerals, fossils, meteorites, gems, beads, unusual jewelry and gift items, books, and lapidary equipment. Crafters and scientists provide demonstrations of gem cutting, jewelry making, and fossil preparation. Displays showcase some of the world’s finest museum collections. The theme for 2008 is “Minerals of Colorado.” Speakers will give talks on topics relating to mining and mineral collecting. There will be free gold panning for children, and free gem and mineral identification. Mr. Bones, a walking dinosaur, will delight children of all ages. The show, which is open to the public, provides an exciting and educational experience.

The Denver Gem and Mineral Show is sponsored and produced by volunteers from the Greater Denver Area Gem & Mineral Council, a non-profit association of nine area clubs with 1400 members. All show proceeds benefit museums, scientific research, scholarships and education. For those interested, the show is a good opportunity to get in touch with one of the local clubs that continue to foster interest in the earth sciences all year round.
