Australia's biggest festival of all things Gems, Precious Stones and Fossils
Join the lapidary celebration
Since 1990, the Lismore Gem & Lapidary Club has proudly hosted Lismore GEMFEST, bringing together gem and mineral enthusiasts from across Australia and beyond. Held at the Lismore Showgrounds in New South Wales, this incredible event is a celebration of all things lapidary, featuring an extensive range of minerals, gemstones, fossils, jewellery, lapidary tools, and equipment.
With over 140 dealers and tailgaters, GEMFEST offers something for everyone—from fine art jewellery in the Traders Hall to unique finds from outdoor traders, including rough stones, handcrafted pieces, and specimen-quality crystals. Young explorers can even try their luck Fossicking on the Hill, searching for their very own treasures!
Run entirely by amazing Volunteers
This beloved event, run entirely by dedicated volunteers of the Lismore Gem & Lapidary Club, is more than just a marketplace — it’s a place where the magic of the earth’s natural wonders comes to life.
