STONE SOCIETY MEETING. Members of the Natural Stone Society of the Philippines will meet on Saturday, July 23, at 2 p.m. at the gound floor of FMSG Building, 9 Balete Drive corner 3rd Street, New Manila, Quezon City.

According to Yumie Gupit, NSSP corresponding secretary, arrangement is being made for a geologist to be a resource speaker during the meeting. He could teach the members how to identify and possibly estimate the age of the stones in the members’ collection. One member, Li Viju will also be on hand to share his knowledge as he has dealt with natural precious and semi-precious stones in his adult life.

Members are enjoined to bring stone samplings to be shown to the experts for comment. Mrs. Fely S. Gupit, NSSP president, will also show some stones from Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan aside from local stones.

Also to be discussed during the meeting is the Stone Fun Hunt in August. Mrs. Gupit will also discuss the invitation she received regarding the Suiseki Show in Beijing, China, in September on the occasion of the Asia Pacific Bonsai & Suiseki Convention.
