Upcoming NMFG Regular Meeting – July 9

The presentation for our July 9 meeting will be “Mining for Sunstones” in Idaho and surrounding area.  Vikki will present photos and the stories of Jan’s and her trip to the West.  As Vikki said, this was a dream trip for Rockhounds.   We are planning a show-tell of your latest Master Gems as well.
 What would it take for our faceters to cut a stone and donate it to the Guild’s collection?  We would much appreciate a donation from each of our members for the collection.

PLEASE RSVP to George so we will know how many members are coming.

The meeting will be held at our usual location – 

North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center

7521 Carmel NE
Albuquerque, NM 87113

June 2024 Workshop

We had ten members at our June workshop. We had one completed gem during the workshop and a lot of good work and progress by everyone who attended. We want to thank our instructor/mentors – George, Andy, and Carsten – for their help and support.
