Please join us on July 14 at 7:30 PM in the Multipurpose Room at the Veterans Memorial Complex, 4117 Overland Ave, Culver City 90230 for a presentation by Dick Weber.

This month our program will be presented by Dick Weber on the “Septarian Concretions from Southwest Utah. Septarians have been collected as mineral specimens and lapidary material for more than one hundred years. They are prized for their bright yellow calcite and aragonite crystals, standing in sharp contrast to the gray limestone matrix. In recent years this material has become popular for carvings and free-form jewelry.

Dick Weber holds a Masters Degree in Sedimentary Petrology from the University of Minnesota and worked as an exploration geologist throughout the United States. He began collecting Septarians in 1978 and has visited the collecting area several times over the years. As part of the presentation, Mr. Weber will show rough and polished specimens from his personal collection.

The Veteran’s Memorial Multi-Purpose Room is in the back of the Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium Building. When entering the parking lot from Culver Blvd. (closest to Overland Blvd.), walk to the right when facing the building. Around the corner is a sign leading to the Multi-Purpose Room, where our meetings are held.
