A Club For Rock Lovers

Our club is involved in collecting, identifying, classifying, and displaying beautiful rocks, minerals and crystals.Our club rooms have on display a large and well calatalogued display of rocks, minerals, crystals and finished projects. Using the QR codes on each sample the displays are available for members to peruse and expand their knowledge easily and in their own time.
