Pacific Northwest Rock and Gem Show

The PNW Rock and Gem Show draws collectors, lapidary artists, educators, and dealers from across Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. ARE hosts an identification clinic and chapter table each year. Specialty focus areas include Pacific Northwest agates, Oregon sunstone, thunderegg localities, and Columbia River Basalt minerals. Dealer quality ranges from wholesale rough material to premium specimen sellers; bring a loupe and your skepticism in equal measure.
