Topographical mineralogy, the conservation of minerals and the preservation of mineralogical sites
The Russell Society and the Cheltenham Mineral & Geological Society have a fascinating event of geological talks and displays organised for Sunday 10 October 2019. There’s even the opportunity to bring along mineral samples and fossils for identification.
This special day is being held at Shurdington Millenium Hall, Gloucestershire – and more details are in the pdf document here.
Two of our members, Chris Finch and Alistair Napier, have been promoting the Society and celebrating minerals from the Mendips.
This was part of the 10th anniversary of the Somerset Earth Science Centre. Chris and Alistair put on a display of Mendip minerals and encouraged younger visitors to take interest through education and free samples of locally-collected specimens.
You can find out more and see photographs of the minerals on display in a pdf file here.
