Super Saturdays at the Museum: Gems to Jewels

  • Location: Illinois State Museum, Springfield, Springfield
  • Date: Saturday, January 14, 2012, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Are you curious how minerals form crystals? Do you know how gemstones are made into jewelry? Discover more at the January 14th Super Saturday Gems to Jewels. Play a matching game to learn about birthstones, look at real minerals from the Museum's collection, and make beautiful crafts.

The Super Saturday series is sponsored by the Bank of Springfield.
