Monthly Meeting, Tuesday, January 14, 2020, 7 p.m.

January Speakers: Dick and Mary Pat Weber
Chasing Color: Mining Boulder Opal in Australia
During their year-long "walkabout", Geologists Dick and Mary Pat Weber visited most of the major mining districts of Australia. Their favorite area was the boulder opal deposits in the channel counter of Queensland. Miners live under primitive and hazardous conditions in a remote area of the Outback, where there are more snakes, lizards and kangaroos than people. Unique to the region, this opal is found in massive ironstone concretions of Cretaceous age. Through the generosity of their friends at Broken River Mining, learn how this material is mined and processed in order to bring the world's most beautiful opal to market.

General meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month at 7PM at the

Downtown Anaheim Community Center
