Gem Show 2026

Early this year (2nd to the7th of February) was the annual Tucson Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Showcase. This is one of the largest gem events in the world, featuring jewelers, collectors, scholars and miners from all over the world, showing off some of the world’s most unique gems.

Which of course, includes the internationally acclaimed, and only of its kind: the Sea of Cortez Pearls.

Going on 28 years now, the Sea of Cortez Pearl Farm founders have held their own exhibit at the gem show, reintroducing one of the world’s most ancient gems back to the modern world.
