MinSIG meetings are open to anyone with an interest in learning\, sharing\, seeking and acquiring minerals. Attendees are encouraged to bring specimens for discussion/identification or to simply add to the show-and-tell atmosphere of the group. \nMinSIG meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm at the AGMS Clubhouse in the auditorium\, unless announced otherwise. Meetings are also available on ZOOM. \nGenerally\, meetings are led by a moderator who opens the meeting by welcoming everyone and asking if anyone has brought specimens for discussion. Specimens can be minerals for identification\, minerals about which they have questions\, or minerals they just want to show the group. Sometimes a person brings a specimen for what is called “stump the chump.”  In this case\, the person knows the identification of the mineral and the rest of the group tries to guess its identity. We might also talk about publications\, mineral shows we’ve been to or any road trips on which we’ve found specimens. \nIn general\, the meetings last no more than an hour and a half. Meeting length depends on how many folks come and how many want to present their specimens. \nThe MinSIG group is in charge of the Crystallography Display Cases featured at the AGMS annual Gem and Mineral Show – Gem Capers. \nCurrent MinSIG host is Barbara Liebman URL:https://www.agms-tx.org/event/mineral-subject-interest-group-minsig/2024-03-12/ LOCATION:AGMS Clubhouse\, 6719 Burnet Lane\, Austin\, TX\, 78757\, United States CATEGORIES:Meeting,Meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240217T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240217T140000 DTSTAMP:20240329T055406 CREATED:20220220T194907Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220220T194907Z UID:10000184-1708164000-1708178400@www.agms-tx.org SUMMARY:Lapidary Workshop DESCRIPTION:The AGMS Lapidary Workshops are open on the third Saturday of the month for members who are qualified to use the equipment.

MinSIG meetings are open to anyone with an interest in learning\, sharing\, seeking and acquiring minerals. Attendees are encouraged to bring specimens for discussion/identification or to simply add to the show-and-tell atmosphere of the group. \nMinSIG meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm at the AGMS Clubhouse in the auditorium\, unless announced otherwise. Meetings are also available on ZOOM. \nGenerally\, meetings are led by a moderator who opens the meeting by welcoming everyone and asking if anyone has brought specimens for discussion. Specimens can be minerals for identification\, minerals about which they have questions\, or minerals they just want to show the group. Sometimes a person brings a specimen for what is called “stump the chump.”  In this case\, the person knows the identification of the mineral and the rest of the group tries to guess its identity. We might also talk about publications\, mineral shows we’ve been to or any road trips on which we’ve found specimens. \nIn general\, the meetings last no more than an hour and a half. Meeting length depends on how many folks come and how many want to present their specimens. \nThe MinSIG group is in charge of the Crystallography Display Cases featured at the AGMS annual Gem and Mineral Show – Gem Capers. \nCurrent MinSIG host is Barbara Liebman URL:https://www.agms-tx.org/event/mineral-subject-interest-group-minsig/2023-10-10/ LOCATION:AGMS Clubhouse\, 6719 Burnet Lane\, Austin\, TX\, 78757\, United States CATEGORIES:Meeting,Meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230921T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230921T210000 DTSTAMP:20240329T055406 CREATED:20230131T015419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230131T015419Z UID:10000308-1695322800-1695330000@www.agms-tx.org SUMMARY:Lap SIG Meeting DESCRIPTION:These meetings are open to all who are interested in lapidary arts.
