ISHPEMING -- The Ishpeming Rock and Mineral Club will meet at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, at the Cliff's Shaft Mine Museum, 501 W. Euclid St., in Ishpeming.
Scott Markert, one of the founders of the Ishpeming Rock and Mineral Club (along with his parents, Bob and Marian Markert) will present: "Mystery Minerals Collected."
Markert will present a variety of odd, unique, weird, rare and irresistible specimens, rocks and minerals that he and his family collected over the last century (and beyond). He will talk about the specimen itself, where it was collected (if known), its history and how his family acquired the specimen.
Doors will open at 1 p.m. to allow members and visitors time to bid on silent auction specimens and to view the club's mineral collection. Markert will begin his presentation at 1:30 p.m.
A door prize drawing, a 50/50 drawing and a business meeting will follow the program.
Everyone is welcome to attend, enjoy and learn about the wonders of rocks and minerals. There is no admission fee.
