Our Commitment to the Gem and Mineral Show
by Brigitte Stewart
As the Rolling Stones Gem and Mineral Society prepares for its 41st annual gem and mineral show—one of the most popular events in Silver City, NM, drawing numerous visitors each year—it is important to reflect on why our society dedicates so much energy and countless volunteer hours to making this remarkable event possible each year. Twelve years ago, Lee Stockman, who served as the Rolling Stones Show Chair at that time, provided a thoughtful summary of what the gem and mineral show represents. What Mr. Stockman said back then still rings true, and lines up nicely with what our society is all about today. His reflections highlight the ongoing importance of the show in advancing our community educational outreach and stimulating a wide interest in mineralogy, gem cutting, and geology among our visitors.
