Something is always happening at McCoy Minerals!
Throughout the year, we host a mix of in-store events, family activities, seasonal celebrations, gemstone cutting demonstrations, special shopping events, fundraisers, and outdoor rock hound tours.
Watch our lapidary team transform rough material into finished gemstones, join us for one of our seasonal celebrations, or head into the field with us to search for natural gemstones, minerals, gold, fossils, and other treasures.
Our events change throughout the year, so there’s always a reason to check back and see what we’re up to next.
Whether you’re a serious collector, a curious beginner, visiting Blowing Rock with the family, or just looking for something a little different to do — you’re welcome to join the fun.
Check out our upcoming events and tours below!
