Junior Science Rock Club 
The Junior Science Rock Club is all about having a fun educational experience for ages 5-18. Our club is a participant in the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies Badge program in which 20 badges can be earned. There is no charge to join and members will receive a club vest after earning three badges and attending three meetings.
Meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month 4:30—6:00 pm. at the Grand Junction Gem & Mineral Club. Our clubhouse is at 2328 Monument Road. Parents or guardians are encouraged to attend but is not required. Typical meeting agenda includes brag rock presentation, door prizes, & educational hands-on presentations. Also field trips are planned throughout the year.
Our next meeting will be held Tuesday, January 9th, 4:30-6:oo pm at the clubhouse.
Our next field trip will be March 9th to Floy Wash. We are meeting at the Fruita Welcome Center
(I-70 Frontage Road and CO 340) at 9:00 am. Please arrive ahead of time for check-in and directions.
We’ll be looking to find agates that are milky in color with red dots in them, also known as “pigeon blood” agates. Lots of red and yellow jaspers are to find as well. Questions, please contact Beverly O’Neil (contact info below).
