Monthly JALAF Challenge

💎 New Decade JALAF 💎

Howdy Rockhounds!!!!!
Happy New Decade!!!!!
Tomorrow night is our first meeting for the year, I bet it snuck up on a few of you.

The JALAF for January is CRYSTALS💎💎💎

Mark Vining will be telling us why he loves crystals. Mark has encouraged everyone to put their name and the name of their crystal on their show-n-tell.
In March we will be judging the best PAINTED ROCKS for a GOLD FEATHER in AD

Please remember that entries in the JALAF competition must be something YOU found, YOU modified, YOU made jewelry out of....
If you bought or inherited it as is, we would love you to show-n-tell the item.

If you are a BEGINNER and have been at a particular lapidary actively for LESS than A YEAR, you may compete in the BEGINNER class even if your entry has NOTHING to do with the month’s theme. For instance; if someone who has been polishing and hunting rocks for 50 years JUST learns how to facet and wants to enter his latest ruby this month, they are welcomed and encouraged to do so!!!!!
