Every year, the SFMS holds the “Juniors Year in Rocks Contest”. The challenge is to depict the next year (in this case, 2025) in rocks, minerals, fossils, sand, beads, or related items. The winning entry is displayed all year on the SFMS website (on the Officers Contact List page). HGMS is proud to announce that this year’s winner is one of our very own Pebble Pups! For more information, see: Pebble Pups.
October: Tourmaline – This gemstone occurs in many colors, including the remarkable intense violet-to-blue gems particular to Paraíba, Brazil, and similar blues from Africa. A favorite of mineral collectors. Opal – Opal’s microscopic arrays of stacked silica spheres diffract light into a blaze of flashing colors. An opal’s color range and pattern help determine its value. Source: https://www.gia.edu/.
