The gem and mineral show takes place at the Freeport Recreation Center which is conveniently located on Merrick Road, 1/4 mile west of the Merrick/Freeport border. It is a stone’s throw from Freeport’s water front with its busy marinas, and its’ famous Freeport “Nautical Mile”, featuring dozens of restaurants, and alluring shops.
Each of the Freeport shows has a different mix of vendors, with new vendors being added all of the time. There are usually about 27-28 vendors at each show, some of whom have been doing Freeport shows for over 20 years.
The theme of the Freeport Gem and Mineral Show has always been “products produced by mother earth”. Our vendors include numerous mineral dealers, some with extensive knowledge of the metaphysical properties of minerals and crystals. And we have the finest fossil dealers to exhibit on Long Island. Our gemstone and jewelry vendors offer rare loose gemstones, as well as finished jewelry items ranging from high-end precious gemstones set in platinum and gold, to more affordable silver pieces. Much of the jewelry is handmade, and you can meet the designers who will be happy to discuss their work with you. And our bead dealers offer the widest variety, and finest quality beads available anywhere.
