Thursday – Saturday – 10 am – 6 pm, Sunday 10 am – 3 pm.
This Year’s Theme
Mineral Oddities
For years, the Denver Gem & Mineral Show was held at the Denver Mart. With the closing of the Mart (a victim of the pandemic), our show joined the Hardrock Summit at the Denver Convention Center. This year we are moving to a more convenient suburban location with free parking!
We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Hardrock Summit again in 2024. This year’s show will be bigger and better than ever. As in previous years, you can expect dealers, display cases from several museums PLUS some rarely seen minerals from notable private collectors, a fluorescent room, speakers, gold panning, educational booths, live demonstrations by skilled lapidary artists, gem and mineral identification, great door prizes, and more!
