Gemstones, minerals, fossils, and jewellery will be on display and available for sale on Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm at the club rooms at 24 Roberts Avenue, Horsham.
Event organiser Winnie Wu said it was a family friendly event with lots of activities including children’s workshops from 1.30pm to 2.30pm, which will have them creating their own gemstone critters, ants, gift cards and plant watchers.
“There will also be gemstone polishing and lots of pretty things for the children to learn about and look at,” Ms Wu said.
Members of the Horsham and Ballarat gem clubs will demonstrate silversmithing and gem and opal cutting.
There will also be a special demonstration of the Minelab Metal Detectors, which are available to purchase.
Admission costs $4 for adults, $1 for children or $8 for two adults and children.
