Our General Meeting in "Glowtober" Featured speaker Johan Maertens. He introduced attendees on how to start collecting fluorescent minerals.
Collecting fluorescent minerals is turning ugly rocks in colorful beauties.
Figuring out what you need to get started can be daunting, costly, and seemingly complicated.
During the presentation he discussed providing insights, examples, and suggestions about the aspects of the fluorescent mineral hobby.
If was very informative and a Q&A afterwards was well received.
