Our goal is to provide the highest quality geologically significant teaching specimens and fine minerals. Pricing is set to meet the budgetary constraints of school districts, individual educators, and collectors alike. We invite and encourage people to visit our web site if only to gain some working knowledge of the earth sciences. In the future we plan to have virtual rock and mineral tours. For a fee, the Center provides to primary school and secondary school educators a variety of workshops that address a range of topics and emphasize interdisciplinary and hands-on strategies.
All materials are free.
