Directions: Take exit 33 off of Interstate 26 just outside of Asheville NC. Go west on Brevard Road/Hwy. 191. Drive 3.5 miles to Clayton Road on the left, turn left and drive 2/10ths of a mile to the entrance to Camp Stephens on the left. You will see a large MAGMA sign at the entrance.

That sounds like a great show.  If you are interested in minerals from NC I strongly advise attending this show.  Many fine minerals from the south east will also be jaw dropping.   

the henderson county gem museum will have a setup at this show. They have a lot of great stuff that has been donated that will be sold, it should be fun!
