An amazing display of gems, fossils, minerals, beads and gifts was to be admired at the past Annual Gem Show by the Gem- and Mineral Society of the Palm Beaches.

Countless visitors marveled and shopped to their heart's desire.

This big show is really Palm beach's finest show of the year. Every rockhound can find supplies for their hobbies, whether it be gem polishing, rock cutting, tumbling, faceting, collecting or jewelry making.

Each time that show is in town, the Gem- and Mineral Society of the Palm Beaches works very hard to deliver many well known gem and mineral dealers. At the same time that club provides a stunning array of their member's work for all to see.

Being a part of that club means pursuing a fascinating hobby with numerous aspects. You could be enjoying micro mounts, or you could dig up fossils on one of the field trips, or you could be designing your own jewelry. All club members are wonderful and knowledgeable people who will share their skill in workshops and classes.

As always, special thanks go to Jeff Ursillo, the club's President, as well as Deb and Carl Bengtson and Barbara Ringhiser who work hard all year as Show Chair persons to bring that show to life.

A warm thank you to the volunteers of the Neverending Necklace Donna Jostiak and Cyndy Manzo who again helped staff the table at this years show.
