Geology for Rockhounds class
Bob teaches this popular prospecting course indoors, usually during winter or spring. You値l have 2 days of fun with pretty rocks, and a few ugly ones, as you learn to identify which rock types and structures to look in for crystals, agates, and gems.
No science or geology background is needed. The class is jargon-free, but you値l learn to interpret the often confusing information in geologic reports, maps, and other references. By the end of this class, you値l be able to recognize clues to geologic goodies from a distance, you値l know which construction areas and road cuts are worth a look, and you値l have the confidence to walk away from over-dug localities to find new ones nearby.
Usually taught on two consecutive Saturdays, in the Seattle area. Or can be presented for your group at any NW location.
For groups, minimum number of participants is 15. This is an adult course, but interested teenagers are welcome.
Price is $90/person, for two four-hour sessions. Optional field trips are available.
