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!

Topic: Gemstone Identification

I hope everyone enjoyed the PowerPoint presentations that Brian put together. He does a wonderful job putting these programs together. It was good to be back to our monthly meetings.
This month Dion Stewart will be showing us how to identify gemstones. He will have scales and equipment to help in the identification at the clubhouse and the program will be very interactive in nature. You can bring your gemstones to be identified, and Dion will walk us thru the identification process.
We will have a short PowerPoint presentation and then the hands on with the equipment that Dion provides. We will try to show the hands-on portion over Zoom, but it will be much better and clearer in person at the clubhouse. This should be an interesting and informative meeting.
The members who show up in person at the clubhouse will fold, address and stamp the T&T newsletter before the meeting starts.
