Admission Button 2000

The admission button for 2000 features "The Holy City," a striking and literal interpretation of Revelations 21 and 22, which was researched and planned by Logan and Helen Reif. After they decided which gemstones to use, the challenge of finding them began. Three of the rough gem crystals were found in Germany, the turquoise came from Arizona, the emerald from North Carolina, but the majority were found, cut, polished and engraved by Jimmy Lo of Hong Kong.

A variety of gold was selected for the city, walls, street and to gild several areas of the Holy City. The "Tree of Life" was made of fruitwood with gemstones for its fruit. Logan and Helen added "The Holy City" display to their spectacular mineral and gem collection which was given to the Kalona Historical Society, and established the Reif Mineral Museum, now located in the new Visitors Center.
