The 42nd annual show will be held September 18-20, 2009. The Denver Gem & Mineral Show and concurrent Colorado Fossil Expo offer a spectacular view of the earth sciences and lapidary arts through exhibits and dealer displays from all over the world. 300 vendors and exhibits display and sell minerals, fossils, meteorites, gems, beads, jewelry and gift items, books, lapidary equipment, and more. Crafters and scientists demonstrate gem cutting, jewelry making, and fossil preparation. Displays showcase some of the worlds finest museum collections, and experts will speak on topics of geological and paleontological interest. The theme for 2009 is Fossils Windows to the Past�

1500 Denver-area students will come to the show on field trips on Friday morning. There will be free gold panning for children and free gem and mineral identification throughout the weekend. Mr. Bones, a walking dinosaur, will delight children of all ages. The show, which is open to the public, provides an exciting and educational experience.

The Denver Gem and Mineral Show is sponsored and produced by volunteers from the Greater Denver Area Gem & Mineral Council, a non-profit association of nine area clubs with 1400 members. All show proceeds benefit museums, scientific research, scholarships and education. For those interested, the show is a good opportunity to get in touch with one of the local clubs that continue to foster interest in the earth sciences all year round.
