Rockhounds and the merely curious gather in Newport for the Gem and Mineral Show, a sparkling display of stones, fossils, jewelry, and treasures from the earth. Browse the vendors, learn from collectors, and discover the geological wonders of the region.
It's a fascinating event for all ages on the central Oregon coast. Newport itself is a rockhound's dream, with agate-strewn beaches and dramatic geology all around — pair the show with beachcombing at Nye Beach and a visit to the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
