Divitrified Volcanic Ash, fairly common. Thanks! ...so what causes the circles?....is it a bit of debris that the ash crystalized around?...

They are (were) gas bubbles that got filled in with other minerals over time.

Third tues in April is booked (son's B-Ball games) but the following months are wide open Can I sign up the family for the May 2/3 outing without attending the April meeting?

We prefer that people become a member of our club to go on trips as we have had problems with non members coming on our trips. I will say that the trip is at Jonsville Mine so you can just show up if you want. Also forgot to mention meetings are from 7:00 PM to around 9:00 P.M People bring rocks in for show and tell quite often.. I usually bring something. The club has some rocks for sale and occasionally a member might sell some stuff. (I sometimes bring in stuff, although people usually want my display pendent pieces even though I didn't plan on selling )

If you want to go on the trip to jonsville I am wanting to be up there around 9-10 AM (you can go any time of course)... you need an suv or truck to get up though (or something with good ground clearence)

I haven't been up on those trips (I don't have an atv) I just go where I can walk or bike... Although this year I know a few people that might be able to take me up.
