FEATURED EVENT
Gems, jewelry shine at Huntsville show

The 39th annual Gem, Jewelry and Mineral Show is scheduled Friday through Sunday at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville.

Margaret Olson of Decatur, treasurer of the group, said members of the Huntsville Gem and Mineral Society and vendors will have booths with jewelry, crystals, gems, beads and other supplies, fossils and demonstrations.

Children will especially enjoy the panning flume and children’s gem dig, Olson said. All ages will want to see the “rock food table” with meats, potatoes, fruits and dinnerware all made entirely of various stones.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. A $2 donation is requested, with children under 5 free.
