The Gem & Mineral Society of the Palm Beaches welcome dealers from all over the U.S. back to sunny South Florida for the 46th Annual Gem, Mineral, Bead, Jewelry, & Fossil Show this weekend at the Expo Center East at the South Florida Fairgrounds.
You’ll find loose beads, rocks and minerals for specimen collecting and cutting, loose precious and semi-precious gemstones, settings and findings, fossils, meteorites, tools and books, plus completed pieces of fine, Southwestern Native American jewelry and bead jewelry.
The show also offers a wide range of educational activities and exhibits, so even if you don’t buy anything, you can still learn something. Classes will be held on Saturday, and students in the beginner’s classes will be able to take home a finished project.
Visit the demonstration area where society members will be showcasing their skills in faceting, cabochon-making, chain-making and bead-stringing.
If you’ve never felt the anticipation of seeing what’s revealed when a geode is cut, here’s your chance to watch geode splitting. You can even dig for fossils and mine for gemstones.
