In appreciation for the success of our recent mineral show, Professor Julia Nord of George Mason University’s Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Earth Sciences has invited NVMC members to visit GMU’s geology facilities on Saturday, February 18. We will meet on campus at Exploratory Hall at 10 a.m. for a demonstration of mineralogical laboratory equipment and a tour of the mineral museum. An optional lunch will follow. Details will appear in future newsletters.
The Northern Virginia Mineral Club promotes, educates and encourages interest in geology, mineralogy, lapidary arts and related sciences. The society is a member of Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies and American Federation of Mineralogical Societies. We're on Facebook!
