Explore rocks, minerals and fossils at the 66th annual Tualatin Valley Gem Club Rock and Gem Show.

The event is hosted by the nonprofit gem club that promotes the interests and learning of geology, lapidary arts, paleontology and mineralogy.

Show your support for the club at the 2025 event.

The event is taking place March 7-9, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Forest Grove National Guard Armory.

Exhibits include private collections with lapidary works, wire wrapped and silver smithed gems, minerals in crystal form, and fossils from around the world. Vendors are also onsite with rocks, minerals and fossils for your collections.

There’s also cabochon making or wire wrapping demonstrations, a silent auction and raffle prizes. Bring the kids to play fun games at the kids corner and get special rock prizes to add to their collection.

Admission is $1 for adults, cash only. Kids 12 and under attend for free with an adult.

Forest Grove National Guard Armory is at 2950 Taylor Way in Forest Grove. For more information, visit the Tualatin Valley Gem Show’s website.
