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!

Social Time: 7:00 pm
Meeting Time: 7:30 pm
Speaker: Lori Carter
Topic: Dragon Eye Project
Location: In-person and via Zoom Link on the GMS Calendar here

I hope everyone enjoyed my program on Gem Cut Studio.

This month Lori will be leading us in a project to make Dragon Eyes. There will be a few supplies that are needed to make the Dragon Eyes. You will need the clear glass to make the eyes along with several colors of cheap nail polish. This project can be done at home following Lori’s instructions or at the clubhouse. It’s very possible that Lori will be leading us over Zoom. I will have all the details for parts needed along with the plans when I send out the Zoom Link.

For those who show up at the clubhouse, we will fold and address the Tips and Trips and get them ready to mail before the meeting starts.

I hope to see everyone online thru the virtual meeting or In person at the clubhouse for the September 2024 Gem Section Meeting, in the meantime, stay safe and cool.
