Tucson gem shows! Our favorite time of year!
We’ve been participating in the Tucson gem shows, the largest gem show in the world, in one form or another for over 15 years (and attending for much, much longer!) We look forward to the three+ weeks every February of friends, fun and rock madness!
We will be open every day with extended hours during the 2026 show. We will be doing (hopefully) more than a repeat of the ‘soft’ open at our new location, the historic Kino Rocks and Minerals as we’ve been working hard on the property. We will have a couple of tents set up with minerals, jewelry, meteorites, and lots and lots of lapidary rough. We hope to see you there!
TUCSON 2026 GEM SHOW
WE WILL BE OPEN AT OUR ‘NEW’ LOCATION FOR THE 2026 GEM SHOW!!!!!
We are hoping that we will have made significant progress on the property and will have more than a “soft” open like we did last year. We do anticipate still functioning out of the tent, as we did last year.
Please join us again for year 2 at our ‘new’ location - the historic Kino Rocks and Minerals - while we are still remodeling. We will have modified hours and rocks will be housed in tents, but we will be open! Please join us as we start to bring this important part of Tucson rock history, the Kino Rock Shop, back to its former glory.
10 AM - 5 PM MST daily
Tuesday, January 27th through Tuesday, February 17th
(we will return to by appointment only while we continue our remodeling
during the remainder of the year. We suspect it will be a number of years before we’re done with the remodeling. Thanks for your patience and understanding while we work to remodel the property.)
PAST SHOWS - for information only

Since we are lacking in a building with air conditioning and it’s hot as an oven in Tucson right now, we are not participating in this year’s “small show” at the end of August. We would love to see you, but it’s just too darn hot. We will be open for the 2026 gem show.
