The Hardrock Summit, now in its fifth year, concludes today in Westminster.

Hosted at The Westin Westminster, not to be confused with the gem show at the National Western Complex, the event has established itself as one of the premier fall gatherings for the global mineral community, bringing together more than 150 distinguished dealers under one roof.

Featuring museum-quality displays, an expanded outdoor wholesale tent, and the return of the original Denver Gem & Mineral Show, the summit has become a signature highlight of the season. The show closes this afternoon at 3 p.m.
