Jonathan's Mineral Exchange

Montreal Annual Gem and Mineral Show, 62nd edition (October 20-22, 2023) at the Palais des Congrès

We had our tables filled with a wide variety of mineral specimens once again at the Montreal Annual Gem and Mineral Show, now held at the Palais des Congrès. There were over 100 dealers selling precious and semi-precious stones, jewellery and tools. We enjoyed the mix of newcomers and avid collectors that return year after year! Families and people of all ages attented, they were impressed & some mentionned an interest in becoming members of the Gem and Mineral Club as well.

I have a very large and interesting variety of fine mineral specimens this year. Operating since 1999, the Desert Gardens RV Park is the perfect spot for me and my friends to exhibit.

The weather so far is warm and sunny, we couldn’t ask for more. As always, the grounds offer free access, a food court and free parking. This is the 5th largest international Mineral show, with over hundreds of vendors from around the world. The indoor “Pow Wow” is actually close by and completes the annual event.

60th Annual Montreal Gem & Mineral Show,
November 29th – December 1st 2019:

  This year’s show was quite interesting and satisfying; perfect for its 60th year! Once again, we shared our booth H04 with our friend George.  He is a long time collector as well; specializing in Amethysts and other minerals from Ontario. This year quite a few  serious collectors that we had not seen in a while were able to drop by.  They were impressed with the new specimens that I brought to the show. There were many first timers and quite a few promising young future collectors, who were quite enthusiastic!
