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!

Due to confusion for the February Meeting, I moved Dion’s Gem ID program to the March meeting. I hope everyone enjoyed Dion’s presentation on Gem ID. This type of presentation is always better in person, but I hope the Zoom feed went well, also.
This month Sue Gorday is going to talk about Organic Gems. Organic Gems includes fossils such as amber, ammonite, fossil ivory, and modern materials such as pearls, coral and ivory. This should be an interesting program. We look forward to seeing the PowerPoint presentation.
The members who show up in person at the clubhouse will fold, address and stamp the T&T newsletter before the meeting starts.
