May 30 It is with regret that the Warrnambool Gem Club has to announce the passing of Helen Butrumulis. Helen's son Joshua (a club member), informed us that Helen had passed away last Saturday. Many of you will know that Helen served as club president for 5 years, from 2019 to 2024. It is only by the willingness of members such as Helen to take on such roles that clubs such as ours can continue. Helen was involved in promoting silversmithing work in our club and was a major contributor to the club's recent Gemshows; along with her son Joshua. Helen has contributed to the club over many years and was largely responsible for the decision to purchase the two new 'soft diamond wheel cabbing machines'. I know many club members are finding those machines to be really great for their cabbing work
June The two photos above are Top a Rhodonite pendant and below a Blue Lace Agate pendant. Both the gems were cut and polished by Therese who also did the silversmithing work.
