The 56th Annual Columbia Gem and Mineral Show.

Geodes, Salted Mine, Grab Bags
CGMS will have geodes for sale at the show entrance. We will let you select and we will cut the geode for you. Geodes may contain quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz, calcite.  (No one knows what may be hidden inside!)

We have a salted mine where children can "dig" for crystal, fossil, rock and mineral treasures.

Grab bags for $2, $5 and $10 contain a wide variety of minerals and fossils that club members have collected on our field trips and at shows.  You may find mineral specimens, polished minerals, small shark’s teeth and other fossils in your bag.

Display Cases and Demonstrations
CGMS will have demonstrations of gemstone faceting, jewelry making and  flint knapping.  There will be educational display cases to showcase member's collections, the SC State Gemstone (amethyst) and the SC State Stone (blue granite).
