Rock Club Discovered Forming In Carson Valley
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Tue, 05/18/2010 - 7:17am"There oughta be a rock club a little closer to home." There has certainly been a lot of talk about it; now it's time to get a rock club going in the Carson Valley.
We're from all walks of life: rock-hounds, students, teachers, geologists. We plan to do several kinds of fun things, including show and tell, "how to" sessions, swap meets and shows, field trips, exploration, prospecting, crafting, jewelry classes.
Is is idea just old pyrite? Or is this some high-grade ore?
