SPRINGFIELD, Vt. — What better way to celebrate this summer’s reading theme, Libraries Rock, than to learn all about gemstones. The guide will be Darlyn Walters, a graduate gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America. Walters has been a certified gemologist with the American Gem Society and a certified diamontologist from the Diamond Council of America. She currently works for Von Bargen’s Jewelry.
All are welcome at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 9, at the Springfield Town Library for “Gemstones that Rock,” a fascinating presentation on seven stones: diamonds, tanzanite, aquamarine, blue and pink sapphire, pink tourmaline, rutile quartz, and turquoise. Walters will discuss their durability, location, uses, and interesting lore.
The Springfield Town Library is located at 43 Main St., Springfield. Programs are free, accessible to all, and open to the public. For more information about this program, contact (802) 885-3108 or [email protected].
