Then you should join a local rock club. Rock
clubs offer a meeting place for people to get
together to pursue their interests in geology,
mineral collection, lapidary, and jewelry making.
Field trips in the summer are a fun family outing
and great exercise. Meetings usually have a fun
agenda where you can swap rocks (or stories
about rocks), watch interesting demonstrations,
slide shows and lectures. Door prizes and silent
auctions are always greeted with enthusiasm.
