The Denver Rock Show
We drove up from Texas to attend the Denver Mineral, Fossil, Gem & Jewelry Show from September 13 and 14, 2024, at the Denver Coliseum. This is the largest free public mineral and gem show in the USA, spread across 600,000 square feet with over 500 dealers! So of course we had to go check it out! Get ready for a lot of walking, losing each other, getting completely lost (at least 300 times), meeting cool people, finding cool rocks, and sourcing #rockhounding and #rocktumbling supplies for Fossick's (including our upcoming subscription boxes... #spoileralert!)
