Spokane Rock Rollers Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Show

Growing up, it was family tradition to attend this annual, three-day showcase hosted by Spokane’s local rockhounding club, the Rock Rollers. My late grandparents, who became avid rockhounds in retirement, were super active in the club and always won ribbons at the show for their stunning petrified wood specimens from around the Western U.S. My favorite moments of the show back then were the silent auctions for little trinkets like tumbled, polished rocks with googly eyes stuck on, and marveling at cases filled with exquisite jewelry that sparkled and shone under the bright display lights. Whether you love to learn about incredible geologic specimens, are hoping to add to your personal crystal collection or want to shop for high-quality, semi-precious jewelry, including materials to make your own, the Rock Rollers show still has all this, and more.
