2010 marks the 41st year for the Che-Hanna Rock and Mineral Club's Gem and Mineral Show, which will be held on March 27 and 28 in the Valley.
The show will feature thousands of rocks and minerals in displays as well as rock and mineral vendors, according to club member Sandy Keener. Keener will be at the show herself, with some of the gemstone trees she creates.
Keener said she's been making the gemstone trees since about 1991, after someone gave her one as a Christmas gift and she "got hooked on it." The trees are made with small polished gemstones and lengths of wire twisted to resemble trees of all shapes and sizes, she said. She makes various kinds and sizes of trees, including bonsai trees, pine trees with Peridot gemstones and Wisteria trees made with Amethyst.
