BIG DOINGS at the East Coast Show this year! HOUSTON MUSEUM OF NATURAL SCIENCE is our exhibitor, the first time in history that Houston is bringing so many specimens to display! This event, the largest "pure show" east of Denver — by pure, we mean that we only permit dealers who sell, gems, minerals, and fossils, not rugs, costume jewelry, or synthetic beads — brings together vendors, miners, artisans, and crafters from around the world. See and shop from vendors from China, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Morocco, Madagascar and more. Our dealers sell everything from 50-cent tumbled stones for the budding rock collector to museum-quality mineral specimens. Over 225 retail and wholesale vendors are on-site who sell mineral specimens, fossils, gemstones, beads, jewelry, meteorites, crystals, geodes, decorator items, and lapidary supplies and equipment. Every child (12 & under) attending the show gets a free mineral specimen, and kids of all ages can purchase an inexpensive geode and watch as it is cracked open to reveal never-before-seen crystals.
