Come explore the wonderful world of rocks and minerals with Elias Gianopolous, a local naturalist who has led previous WOW events. We’ll learn about minerals and gemstones native to our North Carolina home – and learn how rocks and minerals form. Several geodes will be broken open as part of an interactive demonstration. Bring your favorite rock to be scratched with a mineral scratch test and/or identified. Magnifying glasses will be provided so you can look at your rock up close. Hope to see you there!

This outing is for children with their families. The minimum age is 5 years old. No dogs or strollers, please.
