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: Polymer Clay Project
Location: In-person and via Zoom Link on the GMS Calendar here
I hope everyone enjoyed Lori’s program on making Dragon Eyes.
This month Diana will be leading us in working with polymer clay. We will be working with either the Dragon Eyes we made last month or a quartz crystal. For many of us, this will be the first time we have used polymer clay in our jewelry making. It should be an interesting meeting.
This will be the last Gem Section meeting of the year. We take November and December off because of the holidays being so close. We will resume our meetings in January 2025.
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 October 2024 Gem Section Meeting, in the meantime, stay safe and cool.
