Special Notice:
The MSSC will be participating in an Earth Day activity at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum on Sunday, April 19 from 9:30-5:00.
It would be great to have some of the membership volunteer to help staff the table.
We will be handing out minerals/rocks to the kids that visit and have a hands on exhibit that people can touch
or at least see close up. We will also demonstrate properties of minerals. For example:
MOHS hardness scale
Magnetic attraction
UV light demonstration
Full geode versus cut Geode
Density: Pumice versus iron samples
Color variety and why it occurs. Like quartz
Different ways to exhibit minerals
As part of your participation, you will receive a free entry to the museum and free parking. It would be great to see you there.
If you are interested in helping out, contact David Lesperance, dlesperance@signalgeoscience.com or Leslie Ogg at president@mineralsocal.org
