Wheel of Fortune

What makes a great Gem and Mineral Show?

I thought in this thread we could show some of the individual parts that will work together to make the 26th Annual Rolling Stones Gem and Mineral Show a great success.

The Kid in all of us loves the
Wheel of Fortune

Everyone wins
Choose the mineral or polished stone you most admire
Pay your 25 cents
Give the wheel a spin
Urge it to space where you want it to stop

Collect your winnings

Wheel of Fortune manager, Ginger Coombs collects and tumbles stones all year long to provide a clever variety of possible winnings for the Wheel. She is always happy to receive tumbled stones or especially pretty stones to assure that there are plenty of prizes for the more than 2000 spins of the Wheel expected for the 26th Annual Rolling Stones Gem and Mineral Show.

Annual Gem & Mineral Show

Have you ever been to the Rolling Stones Annual Gem and Mineral Show?

Well, for anyone who has been in Silver City on Labor Day weekend, the answer is probably yes.

What do you remember most?

The silent auction of incredible specimens, slabs, cabochons, and pretty rocks? Every half hour! Or maybe you remember your kids asking for quarters at the Wheel of Fortune. (You know you liked it as much as they did.) Every spin’s a win, whether it’s colorful tumbled agates or chalcedony roses or something you’ve never seen the likes of!

Oh, did you forget the vendors?

Well, walking the aisles is like being in a natural history museum, except you can buy the exhibits! There are beads for the beaders, slabs for the cabbers, and jewelry from funky to exquisite. Plan on at least a couple of hours or you WILL regret it.

Did you go on the field trips?
