Overview
The NJ Mineral, Fossil, Gem & Jewelry Show is the signature East Coast event where miners, prospectors, paleontologists, fossil preparators, geologists, jewelry artisans, importers, gem cutters and related folks mingle with appreciators of Earth sciences, and the awesome things that come from the Earth - and space! And its happening May 15-19, 2024 at the NJ Expo Center.
Just $1 can buy a fossil shark tooth, a 300 million year old trilobite or perhaps a rock that glows under UV light. Others may appreciate the real dinosaurs or investor grade specimens of the rarest minerals on earth.
Browse 400 dealer booths. Exhibits include: Meteorites by Geoff Notkin of Meteorite Men in the Junior Ballroom. Dinosaur skeletons courtesy of Dinosaur Brokers and the Dinosaurs Rock Kids Corner in the Main Ballroom. The kids can try their hand at metal detecting, crack geodes, sluice for gemstones, touch real dinosaur bones and explore the glowing UV mineral room, courtesy of the Franklin Mineral Museum.
