Field Trip!!!! 11/21/20 -- Don't miss out! Field Trip - 11/21/20 - Kokoweef! - https://mailchi.mp/7d8070e33fc6/field-trip-112120-kokoweef

Field Trip Alert! Hey Rockhounds! If you haven’t yet heard, OBMS has scheduled a field trip to Kokoweef for November 21, 2020. We will be digging for cave onyx. Kokoweef Cave Onyx, also known as cave popcorn is a stalactite unique to the Kokoweef cavern in the Mojave Desert. The material consists of mostly calcite and aragonite. The formations started to grow as far back as the Jurassic Period (155 million years ago). Most of the material will glow a fluorescent green or o...range under UV light. The Kokoweef cavern is not open to the public, and the material has become rare. There is a $20 nonrefundable fee - which includes one standard bucket of material. You can, however, dig up as much material as you like - additional buckets are $20 (or $10 for a half bucket). The fee must be paid in advance - either in cash at the shop or through PayPal. Message us to find out more. This is an all-day trip - we will be leaving the shop at 5:30 am, sharp (you can also arrange to meet us en route). Check out the pics, below. Hope to see you there!
