The “Mountains of Minerals” show serves as a focal point to share mineral specimens from world-wide locations. Dealers from far and wide gather to share their knowledge and stock of minerals and demonstrations of lapidary techniques are show highlights.
This show is usually the only Gem Show in California at that time. Mariposa is very near the geographic center of California, convenient to the central San Joaquin Valley and Yosemite National Park.
A wide variety of gemstone jewelry and rough, breathtaking mineral and rock specimens, fossils, crystals, beads and mineral related crafts of all sorts will be available from our many vendors.
World class gold and rare gemstones are on display in the California State Mining and Mineral Museum, a permanent part of the fairgrounds, open year ’round. Admission to the Museum is $4.
