Reno Gem and Mineral Society
Reno/Sparks Convention Center, 4590 S. Virginia St., Reno
The Jackpot of Gems has been held in the Reno area for over 50
years. The show is put on to educate people who have an interest in
minerals and gems that are so abundant in our State. RGMS members
display over 30 cases of rocks, gems, and minerals. There are
demonstrations showing how to make some of the beautiful things
shown in the Display Cases. There is a booth high-lighting
fluorescent features of some minerals that has been called “nature’s
light show”. Expect to learn something new about rocks and minerals
in the State of Nevada. It is a fun hobby to learn about and the
Show is enjoyable for the entire family.
There will be raffle tickets available for fabulous prizes. The
Wheel of Fortune is a special place for children who spin the wheel
to win fun rock and gem specimens. We also have a new Kids Corner
with rock painting and a scavenger hunt. There are great bargains
available in beads and minerals in the silent auction held every
thirty minutes. Come join us!
