The 52nd annual AMLS Gem Show
promises to be the best produced so far. Serious collectors will find prime
specimens of minerals and fossils; lapidarists will find stone beads, slabs,
and cabochons; jewelry admirers will find beautiful, natural adornments.
Families will find fun and educational activities, with an expanded children's
section this year. The popular geode cracker will again be featured: Choose
your own geode for purchase, then witness what timeless treasure hides inside
as it is opened for you. So many dazzling items await!
