Tucson Gem & Mineral Show®

Event Details

The acclaimed Tucson Gem and Mineral Show® is held every year on the second full weekend of February (starting with a Thursday).

Lectures and seminars are held Thursday through Sunday of the Show week in the Crystal Ballroom and Turquoise Ballroom at the Tucson Convention Center. They are open to the public and free of charge.

It has set the standard for gem and mineral shows around the world, and is now the largest gem and mineral show in the United States. The Show is open to the public and presents retail Dealers only. Proceeds from the Show remain in the Tucson economy and are used to support mineral knowledge and appreciation.

Additional Notes : A cooperative effort between the Tucson Gem and Mineral Society and the Society of Earth Science Students from the University of Arizona provides a truly fun and educational experience for any child who loves the earth sciences. In the Junior Education area at our Show children go through a maze of educational experiments in an exciting interaction with the university students. They will go on a mineral “treasure hunt,” and bring home with them a variety of clearly identified specimens that will remind them for many years of this real and unique journey into the realm of science and education.
