The St. Louis Mineral & Gem Society hosts an annual show in November. We have exhibits by members, institutions and prominent collectors. Demonstrators teach about various facets of the hobby. Dealers from several states sell mineral specimens, fossils, lapidary and jewelry making supplies, finished jewelry, books about the hobby, hobby equipment, and other items.
A popular feature of the show is our Children's Booth. Kids 13 years old or under may select rock, mineral, or fossil materials and assemble a collection in an egg carton. In two decades of shows, we have given away over 13,000 of these "Rock Collection Starter Kits".
The 59th Annual St. Louis Mineral and Gem Society Show will be held at the White-Rodgers Community Center in Affton on November 18-20, 2016. Come join the fun and get your Christmas shopping out of the way!
