    Minerals and fossils
    Marcus F.

    After reading Wendy H's review, I put the Gem Faire on my list of places to visit. My overall impression of this faire was positive primarily because we were looking for reasonably priced rocks and minerals. The prices were comparable to what I was finding in Quartzsite Arizona, the Mecca of rocks and fossils. By comparison, I recently saw the same stuff for sale at a retail shop for anywhere from 2-5X more than found here. So yes, this is the place to check out for better prices. They also have tons and tons of beads and gemstones. - Kids under 10 are free - Coupons available on their website or in the local newspaper. - The only bummer about this event was that it's at the Del Mar fair ( and their $13 parking). I think these use to be at the Scottish Rite Center, and I don't think they charge for parking. - They will give you free coupons for the next Gem Faire show.

    We normally attend the Scottish Rite location for the Gem Faire, but since COVID and cancelations, we've attended the one at Del Mar on 2 occasions now. Tables were spread out and masks were required at that time. Munchkin LOVES collecting rocks and enjoys coming to the fair every year. We started in Arizona and while that one doesn't compare to this ones in California, we still enjoy it nonetheless. The last time I had a new stone placed in my 20+ year old ring due to the stone falling out. Definitely recommend signing up and getting updates on when and where they have the next gem show, they normally include a coupon for admission as well.!!

    Jenny from Lost Cities Beads recommended that I stop at Oskadusa Beads, and I'm so glad she did!…read more I'm brand new to the jewelry world and just started doing permanent jewelry, so walking into a bead store can be a little overwhelming. Oskadusa had a great selection with lots of gold-filled and sterling silver options, plus some copper chains on sale. Lauren, the owner, was SO sweet and friendly. I never felt rushed and was able to take my time, look around, and ask all my newbie questions She was really knowledgeable and, more importantly, honest about the different materials and what I was buying. Loved her! I ended up spending under $200 on about 10 feet of chain total. Two gold-filled chains and one copper. I left really happy with what I bought and the whole experience. And bonus points because parking was EASY and FREE!! After paying $5 to park for an hour at my previous stop, that was very much appreciated Such a great find for someone just starting to build their permanent jewelry inventory. I would absolutely come back next time I'm in the area!

    The owner is what you hope you'll get when doing a "ingredients" run for beads or components. She…read moreis generous with advice and insights and a delight to exchange with. Prices are fair, some items a bit steep. But, I will definitely return. It's a great spot to get quality items and the customer service makes you happy to send your money toward this shop. Many classes available and I intend to take some. Inventory is diverse, not heavy handed on any specialty. Seed beads are available in vials vs strands. There are many gemstones to buy per piece and variety in metals for fixings.
