The 2008 Golden Gateway To Gems - A Great Success!
The 54th annual San Francisco Gem & Mineral Society Show was a great success! The theme for the show, California Collecting, brought out many exciting examples of California's natural treasures and seemed to flavor the show with an unusual abundance of very fine mineral displays and super buying opportunities from a great mix of vendors. Sometimes it all comes together - and this was such a time. All who participated and volunteered should be very proud for their efforts.
