THE BASICS OF GEMSTONE PURCHASING
Purchasing diamonds and colored gemstones can be confusing and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be.  Museum curators can teach you what to look for in a gemstone, what important questions to ask a jeweler, and what to avoid when you head to the stores for holiday shopping. Come learn about the four C’s of diamond classification, how to spot synthetic stones, and common techniques used to enhance color.  Note: Curators will not be able to appraise personal property.
Fee: $15 per person ($12 members & volunteers)
Time: 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Location: Bob Campbell Geology Museum
