Discover minerals from around the globe at the East Coast Gem, Mineral & Fossil Show, August 8, 9, 10, 2025 at the Eastern States Exposition Better Living Center, home of THE BIG E. Visitors can find worldwide treasures without leaving the comfort of air-conditioned buildings. Great shopping and a fun educational experience are provided by vendors from around the world. Dealers, miners, artisans, and crafters sell an amazing variety of “rocks” ranging from 50 cent tumbled stones and upwards for mineral specimens, from inexpensive beads to designer creations, and from shark’s teeth to fossil skeletons. Natural mineral specimens, fossils, gemstones, beads, jewelry, meteorites, crystals, geodes, decorator items, and lapidary supplies and equipment are among the items for sale.
The 2025 show features the collection of the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Houston, TX. This exhibit is a rare opportunity for New Englanders and the Atlantic seaboard to see one of the finest minerals collections in the world without going to Texas. This is the first time this exhibit has ever left the confines of the Houston Museum of Natural Science.www.mineralshowslld.com
For family fun, collecting rocks, minerals and fossils, whether at a show or in the field, is a great hobby. Special booths at the show offer free mineral specimens for kids and geodes to purchase that can be cracked open to reveal never-before-seen crystals. See the show website (www.mineralshowsLLD.com) for a complete schedule and listing of our dealers.
