Children ages 8 to 16 are invited, along with a parent or guardian, to Lakeside Gem & Mineral Club’s Junior Club program on Tuesday June 13 6:30-8:00 pm at the REACH Museum. The program at the June meeting will feature fluorescent minerals. Why do some rocks glow a different color under ultraviolet light? What does “ultraviolet” mean? Children are invited to bring a rock to test with a UV lamp. Minerals likely to fluoresce include fluorite, calcite, dolomite, and ruby.

Junior Rock Club is a chance to meet other young rock collectors and learn more about the hobby. Meetings are every second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm at the REACH Museum. Learn more at www.lakesidegemandmineralclub.com.
