So, Tuesday, my daughter Jazmin and I traveled to the Geology Museum - Colorado School of Mines in Golden Colorado. So, about a 30 minute drive from Aurora to Golden, our adventure began. She wasn't feeling that well that day, but she hung in there.
I've ALWAYS loved geology, and even wanted to be a Geologist as a child (amongst other ambitions). My mother and I would go to the gem show every year when I was a kid, as well.
Jazzy and I took home some minerals. Me, a large chunk of blue Flourite, Galena, and Quartz from the Royal Flush Mine, Hansonburg Dist., Soccorro Co., NM (as it states on the note). She grabbed up a clear and beautiful yet small grouping of Quartz crystals. We enjoyed seeing the "glow in the dark" minerals. Parking cost about $3, plus the gas to get there, but the entrance fee was free. Here are some photos of our field trip.
A huge peice of Amethyst!
A huge peice of copper!
Employees? Students? Say Cheese!
Rocks/Minerals that Glow! Very cool!
Fossils!
Galena
Meteorites!
My daughter Jazzy and I went together and we took home two rock formations.
