Meeting Time: 7:30 pm
Topic: Show & Tell
Location: In-person and via Zoom Link on the GMS Calendar here
The April meeting enjoyed a presentation written by Brian Curtis on Crystal Structures and Shapes. Brian had a clear and informative show of how the atomic structure of minerals influences the shapes you see, and how the shapes that you see in the field help the identification of observed minerals.
The May meeting will be a Show-and-Tell, with members bringing in rock and mineral samples they have picked up over the past year or may be presenting for the Mineral Section’s showcase. With local shows, field trips, excursions out West and various auctions there should be enough interesting stuff to brag about.
This will be a hybrid meeting, for the benefit of those constrained by distance or schedule, but it is a lot more fun if you attend in person and can see the rocks up close.
We will also discuss filling the display showcase with Oxide minerals from our Section’s membership.
The meeting link will be sent out early in the month.
