Desert Gardens International Rock, Gem and Mineral Show 1055 Kuehn Street, Quartzsite, AZ 85346

"I was there 3 days before the show closed and a lot of the vendors were either not there or had packed up already. The folks that were there had a nice selection of items and some were willing to cut the prices. I had a very nice time looking at all the beautiful items and buying some to display at home ."

"I got some good stuff for great pricing! Nice sellers with a huge variety of gems, minerals, rocks - whatever you want to call them Marie."

"Fantastic show. Great selections of finished and raw minerals. Great for individuals or wholesale. Many items priced by the gram or kilogram. Unlike other Quartzsite shows, this is ALL rocks, gems, and minerals, not 50% swap meet. Everyone is super friendly."

"Due to a constant rain, many of the shops were closed. Nonetheless, it was still quite fun to walk around and check out all sorts of rocks and even fossils. The prices were obviously lower than stores in the city. There were shops of nicely finished products, but mostly they were rough rocks and you have to pick through them to see if anything catches your eyes."

"February 2023 The main show was over and many vendors had already left and headed to Tucson for the next show. No problem, because there were plenty of vendors to visit. We spent two days and didn't cover it all. There are many unique gems stones, rocks, pieces, sculptures, etc. There may be some great deals. We saw maybe a few good deals and passed on much because pricing has gone up (yeah, I know - like everything else - but you can't live under a gemstone or eat it - only look at it). My wife picked up some nice rose quartz and a bracelet and I got the coolest smoky quartz and a magnet belt that is supposed to cure my lower back pain. If it doesn't work - I will definitely post all about it here and on the company's website. To be fair - if it does work, I will give it equal coverage on that. (I'm desperate for the pain relief.) We (RV) camped on BLM land about 3 miles west of town. Very quiet, peaceful - and there were a whole lot of rocks there, too."
