Oxnard Gem & Mineral Show

 

We will host about 70 display cases that will showcase the talents and artistic skills of members and guest exhibitors.  Some of the displays and activities are directed towards teaching students about the earth sciences. 

 

The Show also offers:

·        Each child will receive a free polished rock.

·        Try out our new Activity - Dino Dig!  Choose a fist size "rock" and dig out one of 12 different Dinos using a toothpick at the show or at home!

 

·        “Pebble Pub”, a fun quiz for the kids to fill out, is based on our displays.

 

·        Dino Discovery - Collect 36 different free Dinosaur Trading Cards.

 

·        A scout badge requirement, “Make A Fossil”  is one of our many activities.

 

·        Egg carton rock kits — Assemble a kit containing 6 different volcanic rocks.

 

·        Games and crafts for kids.

 

·        Kids can experience rock polishing.

 

·        Teachers with their Teacher ID will receive Earth Science Posters and material to display in their classrooms.  By the way, teachers come early, we only have limited quantizes.

 

School and Scouting groups are always welcome at the show.  A badge requirement, “Make A Fossil” is one of our many activities. 

 

Activities throughout both days will include demonstrations of lapidary techniques, glass-bead making, wire wrapping and rock polishing.   A silent auction will offer rock and mineral treasures. 

 

On hand will be a select group of dealers with gems, minerals, fossils, stone beads, Idaho opals, silver craft, finished jewelry, tools, lapidary supplies and books about earth science and more.

 

To have something for everyone in the family, we will also have a Country Store, Book and Plant Sales.  It's a great opportunity to do some early Holiday shopping.  We really do have some excellent prices on jewelry and mineral curiosities from around the globe.  Most of all, it is a great opportunity to have some fun!
