This year, the Toledo Gem and Rockhound Club celebrates its 52nd year. This resident artist club, located at The Toledo Botanical Garden, offers numerous opportunities for adults and students to explore and participate in all aspects of gem, mineral, and fossil collecting; metal crafting; beading; and jewelry making. If you've never seen rocks that glow fluorescent, created a copper bowl, discovered a 350 million year old trilobite, or cut a cabachon, then you’re missing the fun!
