2022 Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Show Pictures

The 2022 Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Show achieved a new high in interest, attendance, and enjoyment by our attendees!

Attendees were treated to many attractions, including:

Minerals, gems & hand-crafted jewelry offered for sale by vendors from the Shenandoah Valley & beyond (Hint - Get your Christmas shopping done early!).
Ever wanted to see how mineral spheres get made? Check out the process firsthand from a club member who specializes in sphere-making!
A cabochon creating demonstration & discussion area - See how YOU can make polished pieces for lapidary jewelry!
A wire-wrapping demonstration area - once you have some rocks and can do lapidary with them, this comes next!
Door prizes contributed by our vendors & members drawn for hourly Saturday & Sunday

Our extensive thanks to Scott Gregory (show chairman) and the crew of club volunteers for pulling everything together. Numerous club members supplied the ‘sweat equity’ for setup, breakdown and the myriad tasks that go into making the show a pleasure for Valley families to attend year after year.

Thanks also go out to the many vendors who donated door prizes for the lucky attendees who won them. The vendors outdid themselves this year with their creative wares & hard-to-resist bargains!
