The Jackpot of Gems® is an annual gem and mineral show that has been held in the Reno area for over 60 years. The show is put on by the Reno Gem and Mineral Society once a year as part of its non-profit 501(C)(3) commitment to educate people who have an interest in minerals and gems that are so abundant in the State of Nevada. It is a fun hobby to learn about and the Show is enjoyable for the entire family.
There is a lot to see and do at the Jackpot of Gems®:
Display cases created by RGMS members displaying rocks, gems, and minerals.
Demonstrations showing how to create some of the beautiful things shown in the Display Cases and at the classes offered at RGMS.
