Gem & Mineral Council Coming Events
October 25 (morning-afternoon)
OPEN HOUSE & SALE: Jewel Tunnel Imports
Host: Rock Currier
Rock Currier, owner/proprietor of Jewel Tunnel Imports, has again agreed to open his immense Baldwin Park warehouse to Gem & Mineral Council members for a very special open house. What makes this warehouse so special is its contents – an amazing variety and quantity of rocks, minerals, lapidary, jewelry – all at true wholesale prices. (Jewel Tunnel Imports does not sell to the public.) Refreshments will be served throughout the day to keep you going as you search Rock's seemingly endless shelves full of rare and common treasures. Whatever you’re looking for, you won't be disappointed.
