This weekend’s East Coast Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show on the grounds of the Eastern States Exposition offers something for everyone — from the avid collector to those who attend the show to purchase jewelry and decorator pieces to those simply inquisitive about the hobby.
Some 180 dealers, miners, artisans and crafters from all over the county — and from as far away as Canada, Africa, South America, Asia and Australia — will be selling a variety of “rocks” ranging from 50-cent tumbled stones to $50,000 mineral specimens, from inexpensive beads to design creations such as lamps made out of minerals, from shark’s teeth to fossil skeletons, and lapidary supplies and equipment.
