March Meeting
GLOWING ROCKS!
Have you ever seen a rock glow? ✨ Now’s your chance!
Join us on March 27 at 7:00 PM for our March General Meeting when our guest speaker, Greg Duker, will be bringing fluorescent rocks to show and explaining the fascinating science behind why they glow. It’s a presentation you won’t want to miss!
Come spend an evening of learning, discovery, and fun with fellow members and rock enthusiasts. Be sure to bring a rock, cab, lapidary project, or interesting artifact to share—we always enjoy seeing what others are collecting or working on.
Our monthly meetings are open to the public, so feel free to invite a friend and help us spread the word.
