Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Shows
Welcome to the highlight event of the Gem, Mineral, & Fossil World!
With a 70+ year history that began as collectors, scientists, and miners is now an international event attracting those audiences plus jewelry designers at the height of the trade, to the makers, to the dealers of the gems, gold, silver, beads and more that combined, showcase the unique and the beautiful. Frequent debuts of new fossils and other collector's items take place side by side with original Native American art, craft & jewelry while a mile away, a village of African jewelry, decor, textiles and furnishings opens for a few weeks.
Multiple educational events, book signings, and art displays for children & families dot the city, while the world-class Alfie Norville Gem & Mineral Museum holds a free day with special events throughout.
The Tucson Gem Shows comprise the largest event of its kind in the world.
Whether you're searching for a $5 shimmering crystal necklace or a $200,000 show-stopping specimen from a remote corner of the world, Tucson’s Gem, Mineral & Fossil Shows offer something for every collector, enthusiast, and first-time visitor. With events spanning multiple seasons, there’s always an opportunity to discover the next hidden gem in Tucson.
And if you are groovin' on our Astro Trail, don't forget to look for meteorites, asteroids, their fragments, and even "space jewelry" at the shows. They truly have it all.
