Australian
Gem & Mineral Calendar CROCOITE - Dundas, Tasmania
(photography F. Coffa) |
 |
This page is always a
work in progress, as I sometimes have difficulty in finding out many of the dates. I have also found a number of date errors on other club and association
websites (where the weekend dates don't correspond or plain wrong) So at this
stage until I gather more information, this is the
best that I can do. A large number of these shows are
organised by lapidary and craft clubs. Many mineral dealers and tailgaters attend, and
they are often a good source of minerals for swapping and purchase. (If readers would like
their club or group dates to be included on this page, then please email the web master with details. I
just don't have the time to actively chase up dates, so if you don't tell me,
then I can't publish them!)
