The Fall NJ Gem Show
Hart Events’ Fall NJ Gem Show returns to the New Jersey Convention & Expo Center for five dazzling days of gems, minerals, and family fun! Shop museum-class minerals, meteorites, beads, crystals, gold, silver, turquoise, and precious gemstones spread across the show floor. Paleontologists, miners, gemologists, and skilled artists will be on hand to share their expertise, evaluate pieces, and even create custom work, giving attendees the chance to both learn and expand their collections.
The event features interactive and educational experiences for all ages. Kids can explore the Kids Zone, complete with a fossil and gem dig pit and a craft station to design their own treasure chest. Adults can join the excitement with the Rubber Duck Hunt, searching for gold and silver-painted ducks hidden throughout the venue to win special prizes. Additional hands-on activities include metal detecting, geode cracking, gemstone sluicing, and panning for gems.
