Summary
"Gem Pocket" was an exhibition highlighting a treasure-trove of precious tourmalines and other gems. The exhibit featured a slide show narrated by Dr. D. Vincent Manson, associate curator of the Museum's Department of Mineralogy, depicting the discovery in early 1972 of a lode of gem-quality tourmalines in the Tourmaline Queen Mine in Pala, California.
