2019 Gem Show
Gem Show
Each year on the fourth weekend in May, the Mt Gravatt Lapidary Society hosts a Gem Show with extensive lapidary display. The gem show has been run continuously since 1965. We believe that Mt Gravatt Lapidary Society hosts the largest, it not the best lapidary and allied craft competition display and demonstrations in South East Queensland.

The Event:
The Mt Gravatt Lapidary Society's annual gem show is an opportunity for the wider community to discover the wonders of lapidary. On the day of our show the clubhouse becomes an educational portal for those wishing to learn about lapidary and the allied crafts. To allow the community to discover the craftsmanship involved, the Society engages experienced members to demonstrate faceting, jewellery making & carving. Along side the demonstration you will find the Society's annual competition and an extensive display's of our members work.
The administration price to the gem show also includes exclusive access to tailgaters and dealer stalls. Amongst the tailgaters you will find fossicked rocks, slabs, mineral specimens, gemstones, crystals and all forms of lapidary rough, most of which has been fossicked and found by the stallholder. Alongside the tailgaters are the dealers who sell the tools of the trade, machinery and consumables.
While you are at the gem show don't forget to check out our delicious BBQ. Cooking starts at 6am to cater for those who are looking for breakfast and will continue to run till about 3:30pm serving hot food, sweets and cold drinks. Refreshment are all reasonably priced. You can also find a coffee van on site for those who can't function without their caffeine (yep that's me!)
Hope to see you there!
