The book is a 50-year history of the Denver Gem and Mineral Show from its inception in 1968 to 2017. Conceived, designed, and edited by Gloria A. Staebler: color throughout, softcover, perfect binding, 9.5 x 10.5 inches, 136 pages, including index. The show was founded by six Denver-Boulder area mineral, gem, and rock clubs, who joined together annually for one mineral-gem-fossil show. The book details the journey of volunteers working together to resolve difficulties and create an interwoven metropolitan community of earth science enthusiasts who still to this day greatly enjoy themselves, help other earth science institutions, and educate children to adults about the earth and lapidary arts. The book contains abundant photographs of people, minerals, and show moments.
