They are historically important sources of feldspar, micas, and quartz, as well as hosting various metals including thorium, uranium, beryllium, lithium and tungsten. Because of the large crystal sizes, pegmatites have also been a favorite of mineral collectors, particularly for beryl and tourmaline. These same deposits have had renewed interest as potential sources of lithium for use in electric vehicle batteries. This presentation will discuss the origin and occurrence of pegmatites, with physical specimens from various pegmatite bodies.The Lecturer:Dr. Terry Panhorst PhD, PG.

We feel it will save time and money to do so. We hope you will join us as we start the season with online registrations only. Some reservation-only events will begin in February.To maintain good health, we ask that each event participant and visitor to the museum wear a mask that covers the mouth and nose.
