This weekend marks the return of a truly treasurable event. It’s the Gem Miner’s Holiday Show in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Arriving at the Lebanon Expo & Fairgrounds on Friday, November 14, the Gem Miner’s Holiday Show will run throughout the weekend, concluding on Sunday, November 16.
The event, which is sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Gem & Mineral Association (MAGMA), is one of several Gem Miner’s Jubilee shows. They also hold Spring and Summer events of great acclaim. While each is special in its own way, all provide opportunities to discover some really great deals and exclusive sales on the finest products and collectibles from around the world.
Shop from dozens of dealers, both wholesale and retail, vending a multifaceted variety of unique items. From finished fine jewelry to rough rock renditions, you’re sure to find anything and everything (and then some you never expected to see) all under one roof! Other precious presentations include loose gemstones, pearls, beads, crystals, minerals, cabochons, carvings, spheres, fossils, and so much more. The options are endless, whether you’re looking for a replacement piece or part, a way to add personalization to an existing or just-purchased item, or you’re looking to add to an existing, ever-growing collection you may have.
More than 80 diverse vendors will be in attendance, all bringing with them their own unique, personal niches and skillsets. The show’s featured dealers comprise a collaborative roster, with attendees hailing from all 50 states and beyond. Their job titles include those of manufacturers, producers, and even miners. Furthermore, the services to be offered throughout the weekend range in everything from wire wrapping to stone setting, bead stringing, and even jewelry repair.
There will also be “Interactive Vendor Experiences and Demonstrations” presented at various times throughout the show’s weekend run. Featured participants for these specials include Bootlegger Bo’s Gem Mine, Boyd’s Cardinal Hollow Winery, Crystal Street/Susan Gonzales Minerals, GS Designs, Oak & Stone School of American Gemcutting, and the Interstellar Collection.
