The Zeehan gem and mineral fair
This is TasmaniaŐs main annual gem and mineral show, and this year will
be held on the two days following the Mineralogical seminar (Saturday 8th &
Sunday 9th November). It is a great place to see what new minerals are coming
out, and there is always something new there.
It is an annual Community event that will always be on the 1st weekend
after the Melbourne Cup, and attracts about 1000 people. There are usually over
30 stalls of Gems, Jewellery, Minerals, Crystals, Opals, Beads, Fossils and
more, in the Basketball Stadium at the Zeehan Primary School, (on Belstead
St.).
Local small miners and collectors have many crystals and minerals direct
from the local mines and prospecting sites around Zeehan, including, Crocoite,
(Tasmania's Mineral Emblem), Stichtite and Serpentine carvings, Pyromorphite,
Quartz, Tourmaline and much more! 
Specimen competitions exhibit some fabulous specimens,
especially the Tasmanian competition.
