Quartzsite, Arizona a Big Little City in January 2026

January brings thousands of people to transform Quartzsite, a small town on the 10 Interstate, into a city of thousands. Cresting the hill from the west, an ocean of RVs fills the landscape. Some spend the winter and some for a weekend or just a day.

For years now, we have been showing at Tyson Wells, 121 W Keuhn St, spaces V3-6. We arrive at the end of December and stay almost to the end of January. The show dates are January 2 – 25. We join hundreds of vendors selling almost anything and everything. We, as our name implies, sell Glass Art and Mineral related items. Come see our new items. Join the fun of visiting the little town that swells into a big city in January.

We hope your holidays are grand and look forward to seeing you, in Quartzsite, in the new year.

Our show schedule for 2026 is coming together and can be seen here: https://bustinglassandminerals.com/our-upcoming-show-schedule-2/

Pearblossom Gem and Mineral Show

50 Vendors for the third year come out the Outpost center in Pearblossum, northeast of Los Angeles. For three days, October 24, 25, 26 come out and shop ’til you drop. In addition to 40+ gem, mineral, crystal, jewelry dealers there are those selling other items and food. There is enough here to keep you and your family busy for hours. Safe, fun, free and outdoors. The weather is great and the atmosphere friendly.

Joshua Tree is known for its rocks and its rock show!

Joshua Tree National Park is known for its rocks, or better yet, its boulders for rock scrambling and its rock climbing. We are in Joshua Tree at the Joshua Tree Lake RV Park for our twice-a-year Gem and Mineral Show, Wed-Sunday, October 1-5. 40+ vendors with rock, crystal, jewelry and other related items gather with something for everyone. Free parking and free admission, food vendors and more. We look forward to this show every year as we have family that live in the area, see old friends and make new. Not yet a friend? Stop by and say hello. The flyer below has details.

Traveling recently, back on the East coast to visit family, we had a great time. The trip was exhausting with delayed flights and two weeks we slept in five different beds. We travelled by plane, train, bus and car, seeing family, aunts, uncles, cousins, some off which we have not seen since we were children. It was fun.

We are back now, cut the grass and other household tasks. Next, we turn to stocking the RV with supplies and merchandise. Sherry is busy making new glass pieces and I need to replace some popular earrings, as well. After Joshua Tree we are off to Las Vegas for a spectacular Rennaissance Fair. More on that later.
