October 10-11, 2009 - Trona Gem-O-Rama

For more than 65 years, countless thousands of visitors have come to Trona during the second weekend in October for the annual Gem-O-Rama. Each year, more collectors converge for 36 hours of frantic non-stop activity to collect some of the best and most desirable evaporite mineral specimens in the world.

Since the first show, the Searles Lake Gem and Mineral Society has worked closely with the management and employees of the owner/operator on Searles Lake to provide one of the most exciting mineral collecting field trips available in the world. These field trips and your experiences would be impossible without their co-operation, dedication and vision.

If you visit Trona this year, please take time afterwards to write a short note of appreciation to Searles Valley Minerals. Your letters will help ensure that this opportunity remains available for others.
