Due to the spread of COVID-19 our annual show has been postponed.
We have tentatively rescheduled the show for August, but we will continue to monitor the situation before making those dates permanent. Any new information will be posted here as we get it. Everyone please stay home and stay safe!
Every spring the club hosts its annual mineral, gem and jewelry show in the Kerr Scott Building at the N.C. State Fairgrounds.
Every year vendors of minerals, fossils, gems, jewelry and beads set up
their booths at the show.
Browse mineral and fossil specimens from all around the world.
Find that perfect gem to complement your favorite outfit.
While vendors make up a large portion of the show, the Tar Heel Gem & Mineral Club hosts a number of activities as well.
A select few put together exhibits from their lifelong collections. These sealed cases have some fabulous pieces that you're unlikely to see anywhere else.
Buy a sealed geode and a club member will cut it for you. The crystals inside geodes take thousands of years to form, but you'll be the first to see its magnificence.
Visit our silent auction booth which runs all weekend. Some are open to everyone, while others are just for the kids. There are lots of fantastic deals to be had, so be sure to check it out while you're here.
The Hospitality Booth sells grab bags, rock candy and T-Shirts. Club members will sort out your grab bag finds and help you identify what you got. They also have information about upcoming activities and how to join the club.
Last year's show was a blast, and we want to send a big thank you to all who attended.
And to all the club members who volunteered their time, a big thank you to you as well. Without the generosity of our volunteers, we wouldn't be able to make this happen. So thank you to each and every one of you.
