Meriden Mineral Club

🪨💎 Thank You for a Great Weekend! 💎🪨

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the Meriden Mineral Club Gem & Mineral Show this weekend! We loved seeing so many rockhounds, families, collectors, and curious visitors exploring the amazing world of minerals.

From cracking open geodes to discovering fluorescent minerals and meeting our incredible vendors, it was a fun weekend filled with learning, curiosity, and lots of beautiful rocks.

A special thank you to:
• Our amazing vendors
• Our hardworking club volunteers
• Everyone who helped make the show happen

Events like this are only possible because of the passion and support of our community.

If you took photos at the show, feel free to share them in the comments — we’d love to see what you found! 📸

And if you missed it this year… don’t worry. We’ll see you at the next one. 😉

🎉🪨 Huge shout out to our club president, Bob Schuster!
