Feb 21st 2026 Field Trip to Mt. Baker area (Dunite, Olivine)

Past Field Trips

On Sat Feb 21st, 2026, we will be going to the Mt. Baker area for Dunite. We meet on site for this trip at Ol One Lane Bridge on the middle fork of the Nooksack River. Dunite is a “jade like” green rock.  It’s prevalent in the river rock and easy to collect.  Primarily comprised of olivine.  We do not have to get in the water to find it.

Details will be sent via e-mail to my distribution list 1 week prior to trip.

Presidents Message

  • Digging It!  May is finally here, and with the snow clearing, the flowers blooming, and the rains letting up a bit (hopefully), that rock fever is hitting us all pretty hard. I hope you all had a great time at the Rock Bingo night last month! The Big Show is Coming! We are now less than two months away from our Cascade Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Show, which will be held June 27–28 at Kent Commons. This is our biggest event of the year, and as I mentioned when I started my term, the people are what make this club …

Meeting Announcements

  • Our own Mike Blanton will bring his expertise to this club meeting program – he will share the tools, tips and tricks he has developed to drill holes in stones and minerals so you can do more with the rocks you find. Show and Tell: bring a rock you’d like to make into something else.

  • Club Wagonmaster and rock shop creator Roger Danneman will present an overview of the new club shop – including equipment, scheduling, stewards, and what you can expect from this exciting new resource.  Show and Tell: bring a rock you want to polish or make into a cabochon (or something you’ve already polished or made)
