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, August 31, 2026Social Time: 7:00 pm
Meeting Time: 7:30 pm
Speaker: TBD
Topic: Wirewrapping Projects
Location: Hybrid (Link on the GMS Calendar here)
I hope everyone enjoyed Brian’s power point presentation on Chrysoberyl and Topaz. Brian does a wonderful job of putting these power point presentations together.
I went to Franklin the end of July for the Faceters Frolic and the gem shows. The Frolic had a lot of good talks and lots of faceting rough and other faceting needs for sale. GMS also was in the area picking up needed items for the grab bags.
This month we have planned a wirewrapping demo. I am still finalizing the projects and who will be leading us. I will include all the details in the mailer lite announcement along with the zoom link for those who want to attend online. We will do our best to show the details over zoom, but it is far better to attend in person.
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.
