News

Meeting Topic: I have heard from several members they are having a hard time obtaining a good polish when tumbling rocks. This month, several of our members will speak on the various polishing methods. A question and answer session will follow. Hopefully, you will solve your tumbling problems at this meeting.

Do you have some rocks that are not polished to your liking and want to know what to do next? Then, please bring them to the meeting and get your questions answered.

Do you have some soft rocks and want to know how you can polish them?? Then, bring them too and learn how to polish them.

Show ‘n Tell: Bring rocks or minerals you would like identified. Our members that are very knowledgeable on identification will give it a go. Of course, we can’t guarantee to identify everything, but they will give it a good try.

Great Tumbling Resource: The Rock Tumbler’s website. It has a great how-to library. https://rocktumbler.com/

Meeting Announcements

  • Maureen Carlisle, Former Docent at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, will take us through A Day on a Dig: “Over the years I’ve been asked about what it is like to be on a dino dig, so I’d like to answer some of these questions. I’ll cover some of the practical aspects of both archaeology and paleontology, as I have had the pleasure of being involved in both.” Show and Tell: bring a fossil or artifact that you’ve found or collected.

  • Come one, come all and play ROCK BINGO! With schools out for many local school districts, we invite members, guests, and especially families and kids to come and enjoy one of our most fun nights of the year. Everyone is guaranteed to win at this FREE event! All you have to do is bring three wrapped presents – presents can be rocks, gems, minerals, crystals, fossils, cabochons, slabs, jewelry, tumbled stones – anything you think might be a nice gift for a rock enthusiast. 

  • 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.
