Want to be a Gemology Detective?  We have the perfect event for rock lovers, gem collectors, and budding geologists and gemologists!  Everyone will have the chance to see how we use gemological testing equipment such as a refractometer, microscope, Chelsea filters, lapidary wheels, and more, to learn how we, as Gemologists, identify and classify gemological minerals.

Designed and led by Graduate Gemologist Logan Cutshall and Graduate Gemologist in Training Carolyn Cutshall, The Kids Gemology Detective kit was developed for kids who love rocks.  If you, too, have a window sill full of collected rocks and minerals in your kitchen this kit is for you!

Within the framework of the scientific method, we discuss the tenets of gem identification including creating a hypothesis and evaluating our results, color theory, light refraction, density, polarity and crystal structure.

Join us in person or online and use your kit to identify and explore the beautiful world of gemstones!

A Note: These videos were made in house at Hunt Country Jewelers; we’re jewelers and not professional movie producers and two, they get better as we go. Regardless, we hope you find these videos informative and hopefully even a little fun.
