SUMMARY:OVMC Meeting - Mineral Palette: Decoding the Colours of Minerals
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Location: Canadian Museum of Nature in the Theatre downstairs \n\n\n\n5:30 PM Mineral Identification and Swap Shop \n\n\n\n“Rock Doctor” Clinic: Starts at 5:30\, ends at 6:30 PM. Members are free to bring in a reasonable number of samples or specimens to be identified by the expert mineralogists in the club. This has been a very popular activity for the membership (at times exceeding our capacity to deal with everyone present!). \n\n\n\n“Swap Shop”: Calling all collectors! The OVMC Swap Shop is open for all members (adults and children). Mike and Tara will have several treasures to trade including small crystals\, fossils\, polished rocks and the occasional plastic dino!  Donations towards the Swap collection is appreciated! Local and international samples accepted. No large samples please. \n\n\n\nJoin us and win door prizes! \n\n\n\n6:30 PM Meeting \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Inna Lykova\, PhD\, Research Scientist at the Canadian Museum of Nature \n\n\n\nTopic: Mineral Palette: Decoding the Colours of Minerals \n\n\n\nColour is often the first thing we notice about a mineral. Striking brilliant colours are what make minerals so captivating and sought after. Yet\, sometimes\, the colour fades. In this talk we will explore the origins of colours and colour change in minerals. Some examples include why calcite fluoresces in a wide range of colours (but\, sometimes\, doesn’t fluoresce at all) and why pink kunzite or fluorite can turn into pale grey or colourless. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nP.S. Bring a specimen or two from your collection!
