American Geode will be selling our unique and unusual geodes at this special show in Pennsylvania.
We have many friends in the Pittston area. They are a fun, smart, and very nice group of people. Not only is the show full of friendly dealers of gems, minerals and fossils from rough to high-end, and everything in between, but you will also find some jewelry dealers with unique and affordable pieces, and gem and mineral artwork is also found at this very special show. Please tell them that “American Geode sen’cha!” as they will get a real kick out of that at the door if you tell them you are also friends with American Geode. Then come on over and see Joe and Charles at the American Geode to talk about geodes, gems and geology, or any other interesting topic. American Geode loves to talk with our clients, and with fellow rockhounds and gem, mineral and geode enthusiasts.
