Denver Gem & Mineral Showcase

For 14 days in September, Denver, Colorado, hosts 12 separate shows featuring thousands of vendors and exhibitors displaying and selling rocks and minerals rough or handsomely prepped, sleek gemmy treasures, crystals crying out to heal all that ails ya, zillion-year-old fossils, and brazen beads. They're all here in every color on a peacock's plumy train!

Denver is a global hub for gem, mineral, fossil, and jewelry events, the 2nd largest such showcase in the world after Tucson. Hart Events' Denver Gem Show at National Western Complex along with Denver Expo Gem Show and Miner's Co-op Show at the same NWC venue, comprise the largest single-venue gem show in the world, with over 500 vendors. Across I-70, Denver Coliseum is home to a 1st-year event called Colorado Minerals, Fossils & Gems Show, with nearly 200 vendors. Not to be confused with ... RMGM's longstanding Colorado Mineral & Fossil Show, moving into its new location at Delta Hotel in Northglenn. Hardrock Summit, owned by promoters of huge shows in Tucson and Munich, in its 4th year (its 2nd at The Westin Hotel in Westminster), is also home to exhibitors of Denver Gem & Mineral Show. Be sure to have a resale license when visiting Colorado Independent Warehouse Show in Lakewood and JK Stone Warehouse Show near I-25 and I-70 ... and for all things gems and jewelry, Intergem Denver Wholesale Gem & Jewelry Show. 

Lastly, shop for some of the finest mineral and crystal specimens at rock-bottom prices by visiting 16 dealers at Just Minerals & Crystals Event at its new location at Doubletree in Thornton and 12 dealers at Denver Fine Mineral Co-op Show at Drury Plaza in Westminster.
