Each rock tells a story about Earth’s ancient past and learning how to read that rock can tell you where it came from, how it formed, and the forces that shaped our planet over millions - even billions of years…
Ever wondered how to tell the difference between a granite and a gneiss rock? or why some rocks look sparkly and others don’t?
Am gonna teach you…
Join me @scottishgeologist for an engaging two-hour workshop exploring the fascinating world of rocks and minerals.
Through interactive activities, stunning real-world samples and plenty of hand’s on samples you’ll learn:
The three main rock types and how they form (15 rocks)
How to identify common minerals using simple tools (9 minerals)
Tips and ticks for recognising textures, patterns and crystal forms
The geological stories that rocks can tell us about Earth’s history
Whether you’re a curious beginner, a budding rockhound, or just looking for a deeper appreciation of the ground beneath your feet, this session will leave you seeing the landscape in a whole new way.
No prior experience required - Just bring your curiosity.
