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!

I hope everyone enjoyed Dion’s talk last month on the Lore and Science of Gemstones.
Dion was not able to present the talk in person, so we missed the hands-on part of his talk.
As I am writing this NL item, Quartzite is over and everyone is heading to Tucson. I thought I would look and see what cutting rough is available for cabbing and faceting at the two locations. It is getting more expensive to purchase. We will see what I can find, and if you find a source for rough, please share with the group. I hope to see everyone in March either in person or online.
For those people who show up in person, we will fold, address and stamp the T&T newsletter before the meeting starts.
