Vernon BC RockHounds bring their mineral specimens found over summer.

We had our monthly meeting yesterday and I thought how can I ask you readers about your rock club when I havn’t wrote about mine!

I was busy printing up a letter to read to the club about my new blog and making sure I brought my camera (WITH MY MEMORY CARD-brought the cam last meeting and no card lol) and forgot my rocks I was going to bring, then we decided each month we would bring our best find to show. It was a good meeting, someone brought up about the “GMFC Scholarship Fund” and asked everyone to pay their $1 dues to become a part of it. Every year 3-4 people get a scholarship for post secondary through this program, and what a great program that is!

I have so much info from yesterday I think I will do a couple posts, then I am off Friday to check out a couple new locations I heard about at the meeting, so more secret BC maps coming with pictures. And I was nervous about not having stuff to post…. Oh and a lot of Flickr people are offering their great Lapidary pics for me to show off on this blog, many thanks to them!!!

Ward brought in a lot of rocks, this one was a really cool looking specimen! I am going on Friday to the same place that this was found.

Here is a box of his other rocks he found

This box of specimens was found in the same place I posted earlier “douglas lake road” but these were found in the stream. Some very nice and interesting ones.

the blue agate was found at Buse Lake and the opal was found on Adelphi Forest Service Road in the town of Westwold BC. I will post a map soon on this location.

Our silent auction going on for club expenses.

All in all it was a fun night, and heres to finding some great stuff on Friday!
