A change in plans has been made for the May 11th meeting. Thanks to a friend of Jewelry by CnC, a collection of faceted gemstones has been made available and will be shown at the Southwest Gem and Mineral Society meeting. In addition there will be a presentation on the Types of Gemstones, an overview on the Identification of Gemstones and the equipment used in the identification process.

.
We hope all members of the SWGMS and prospective members as well as guests can attend and we will be looking forward to presenting the information and showing the borrowed collection of over 300 faceted gemstones.

See you there !
