No Meeting is Scheduled for Tuesday Night, Oct 8th, 2024.
We will be on a collecting trip to Clark Quarry on Sunday, Oct 13.
This is Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day Weekend.
The Quarry is in Meshomasic State Forest in Portland CT-a trip to a local ice cream parlor is an option afterwards.
Some of the minerals that could be collected include: Beryl, Columbite, Schorl (a dark form of Tourmaline), Metatorbernite (which is radioactive-if you have a Geiger counter bring it along.)
For more information on the Clark Quarry, go to www.mindat.org/loc-6792.html.
Reminder that you must be a paid up member! This is for insurance reasons that we get from the EFMLS.
