About this event
“Mine to Market” Gem adventure
The Junior Rockstars program is a 1.5h holiday program, designed for children from 5 to 10 years old.
In this program, we will show them how art and science can come together through gemstones. We use multi-sensory learning aspects of seeing, touching, feeling such as mining and using of equipment like the loupe. By learning and exploring different types of gems, rocks and minerals from all over the world, it will be an eye-opener experience for them in such a fun and interactive learning way.
Consists of Three(3) Topics:
- Topic A: Earth, Rocks, and Mining
- Topic B: Gemstones of the World
- Topic C: Gems and Gemology
Key learning:
- How are gems formed? What are rocks and minerals?
- Where can we find gemstones like diamonds, rubies and sapphires? Which country produces the most diamonds in the world?
- How to identify gemstones? What can we see in a gem through the microscope?
Your child would also get a chance to bring home a gemstone from the "Gem mine" at The Gem Museum!
We believe that your child will have effective hands-on learning experience through appreciating the creation of nature. This session can be an unforgettable experience for your child during this school holiday!
We look forward to seeing you!

About the organiser
The Gem Museum is the first gems and minerals museum in Singapore, open to the public since 2015. It is founded by husband and wife, Mr. Tay Kunming and Ms. Loke Huiying who are trained gemmologists (learn gemology at https://fareastgem.institute). It features a wide variety of gemstones and minerals from all corners of the world. Its purpose is to educate visitors on the Mine to Market pipeline with regards to Value, Quality and Authenticity. A bespoke jewellery boutique called The King's Bespoke is housed on the 3rd level of the museum, here you can experience selecting gemstones and working with a gemologist and jewellery designer to create a beautiful piece of jewellery!
The Gem Museum is a place where learning is highly favoured and relationship building within the industry is encouraged. It envisions to be the international platform that bridges the gems and jewellery industry with the rest of the world.
