WE WILL MEET AT STREET LEVEL ON THE RIGHT SIDE (facing museum entrance) WHERE THE STEPS START. 

We've been wanting to see the Allison and Roberto Mignone Hall of Gems and Minerals since it opened last year.  More than 2000 gems, carvings, and jewelry pieces are on view.  It's a bedazzling display, with 
beauties like The Star of India - a 563-carat star sapphire, the largest of its kind in the world. The DeLong Star Ruby - is a 100-carat stone discovered in Burma in the 1930s. The Patricia Emerald - a 12-sided 632-carat emerald found in Colombia in 1920, is unique because it was never cut into a gem shape. The Brazilian Princess Topaz - a light blue gemstone weighing 9.5 pounds, is considered to be the largest cut gemstone in the world.

It should be eye-catching and educational -  sounds like the perfect Hank excursion. Maybe we can grab a snack after?

NOTE:  We have 10 timed tickets- Individual Hank members are required to "pay what they wish" on entry.  (they recco $18.00, but accept anything)  If more than 10 sign up, we will try to get more tickets.
