If you like Quartz Crystals, this is the meeting for you!
Mike Rakovitz and Vickie Hartung are two of the 25 people who went along on the Spring Break Field Trip to Arkansas last year. They are going to tell us all about the Field Trip to. Mt. Ida to collect Quartz crystals and plates. There were a few different collecting sites, and lots of club members to share this fun experience with. They have promised loads of pictures, and you may learn some interesting geology facts as well. Learn what is like to collect your own quartz specimens, what they look like coming out of the soil, and how to clean them up. There will be time at the end of the presentation for questions, and also for stories from other club members who joined them on the trip. See you there! Let me see your Quartz! The rock/specimen contest in January will be all about Quartz crystals. Bring them out of the garage, clean them up, and show them off. Any crystalline Quartz will be allowed, Smokey, Amethyst, Citrine, etc. Each member at the meeting will have an opportunity to have 1 vote, and the winner will receive a modest prize. |
