SEKY - Fall 2022 - Rock, Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show. Irvine, KY

Exhibits by rockhounds, information on agates, gems, rocks, fossils, and minerals, demonstrations, and vendor sales will all be a part of the Southeast KY Gem, Mineral, & Fossil Show the weekend of Sept. 24 & 25. The show will be at the Central Office gymnasium, 253 Main Street, Irvine. Hours for the show will be: Sat., September 24, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sun., Sept. 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free.
The “gem of the hills” is prized by collectors world-wide for its bright red bands and other spectacular colors and is only found in Estill and a few other surrounding counties. Agates will be for sale in several forms from slabs to jewelry, revealing the hidden beauty.
Other features of the show will include mineral specimen sales, fossil sales, gems, demonstrations, books, and jewelry showing art from rocks and minerals. Much of the jewelry includes skills of the crafter from wire wrapping, silver smithing, faceting, to carving. Lapidary skills of the vendors show how slabs have been cut from rock, shaped and polished cabochons, and other stone-working skills.
