The Saucon Valley Lions’ annual Lehigh Valley Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Show in Hellertown helps raise money for charities such as the Blind Foundation and other initiatives the Lions support, like scholarships for local students.
Whether you’re a rock collector, a jewelry lover or simply an admirer of shiny objects you won’t want to miss the Saucon Valley Lions Club’s 47th annual Lehigh Valley Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Show Saturday and Sunday, April 8-9, in the Saucon Valley High School gymnasium.
This year’s gem show will feature more than 20 vendors from as far away as Massachusetts selling a huge variety of unique and beautiful gems, minerals, jewelry, jewelry supplies, fossils, lapidary supplies and much more.

There will also be a bake sale and food available for purchase, along with hourly door prizes.
Dolce Patisserie of Hellertown will have delectable confectionaries for sale, and (new this year) Westley Morris of Body Bank Massage Therapy of Hellertown will be offering chair massages if lifting any heavy rock samples leads to sore shoulders.
