Mike and Linda Thurston started this fine quality kaleidoscope business in 1981 in a small town near Pittsburgh. Gemini produces really top quality kaleidoscopes at a reasonable price and offers a variety of interesting kaleidoscopes. The scopes sell in museum shops, toy and gift stores across the country.
