Club History

Memorial Day Weekend Glendive Trip

One of the Club's most anticipated trip to Glendive, Montana to hunt for petrified wood, Montana moss and fossils is almost here. Click on the field trip link to the left for more information. For those club members interested, some are going to South Dakota right from Glendive. The plan is to stay in Hill City on May 26 & 27, and have been invited to visit 3 different mines in the area. Some of the minerals we are looking for are Rose Quartz, Tourmaline, Beryl, Garnet, Red Felspar and possibly some Phosphates. On May 28 we will be staying in Kadoka to hunt for a variety of agates in the Buffalo grasslands area. We have at least 2 sites there we will be visiting. Some members from our group have been to this area many times and say the picking is pretty good. All members of the Minnesota Mineral Club are invited to join us and for more information contact Amy at 651-770-4921 or 651-269-0001.
Also, don't forget about the World Of Agates show in July at the Weis Museum in Menasha Wisconsin.

Club meetings are held at the Falcon Heights City Hall which is located at 2077 Larpenteur Avenue in Falcon Heights (Click here for a map.) Meetings are held the second Saturday of the month at 7:00 pm, except June, July and August during which time no club meetings are held. Visitors are always welcome at meetings! To join the club, click on the Membership Info link on the left side of this page.
