Gem Section Meets
Last Monday Every Month
Ah, the jewels of the rockhounding world. Gems come in many different forms, but one thing is usually certain -- someone took something normal and transformed it into something spectacular!
Join us at Gem Section to see rocks when they are all dressed up and even dress up a few yourself!

Date: Monday, July 27, 2026Social Time: 7:00 pm
Meeting Time: 7:30 pm
Speaker: Brian Curtis
Topic: Chrysoberyl and Topaz
Location: Hybrid
I hope everyone enjoyed the Kim’s Gem Quiz this past month. It’s great that Kim is feeling better and able to give us a program again. We have missed Kim’s talks. Kim does not do Zoom so that is the reason for in person only for this meeting.
This month we will have another of Brian Curtis’ PowerPoint presentations. The topic this month will be Chrysoberyl and Topaz. I will present it for Brian. I might do it online instead of at the clubhouse depending on my schedule. The Franklin show and Faceters Frolic is the weekend before, and I might not be home yet. If I do not make it to the clubhouse, I will arrange for someone open up and set things up.
One other thing I need to let you know about. The Gem Section will need a new chair or co-chairs beginning in January 2027. I will be stepping down, and Diana will be doing a lot more traveling, so we will need new leadership. If anyone wants to take our place or has an idea of a person or persons who can lead us, let Diana or me know. The section members will get to vote on the new leadership.
The members who show up early in person at the clubhouse will fold, address, and stamp the T&T newsletter before the meeting starts.
