Our April field trip will be to the old Commonwealth Mine in Pearce for amethyst and banded quartz agate. Meet at the old Pearce Store (parking lot north of the store) at 9 am on Saturday April 15. (Get your tax return done before Saturday.) This will be separating and breaking rocks so bring a heavy hammer, safety glasses, etc. If you can’t make the meeting but wish to go on the field trip call Don Hammer at 384-3105.
