The Bozeman Gem & Mineral Club Rock Show is set for Mother’s Day weekend, Saturday and Sunday, May 13th and 14th. The show will unfold at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, Building #1, on Saturday from 10am–6pm, then again on Sunday from 10am–4pm. A $3 admission will gain entry for both days — only $2 for mothers on Sunday! This event is free for those 12 and under with an adult. The weekend will feature eighteen stateside and international vendors selling gems, minerals, fossils, beads, jewelry, home decor, and more!
Enter in a raffle featuring a large Brazilian Amethyst, as well as a separate raffle of multiple dealer donations. There will be opportunities to win high quality donated items from vendors, a silent auction running all weekend, and a Garnet sorting table fun for all ages. Twenty-two display cases will present gems, minerals, and specimens collected by Club members from all over the world. This event is a great opportunity for families to view and/or purchase world class mineral specimens. It’s also a great chance to learn more about and join the club. If attendees have a rock or mineral specimens that need identifying, they are encouraged to bring them in for identification.
