Celebrate Mother’s Day weekend at Crater Rock Museum on Saturday, May 10 and learn everything you ever wanted to know about emeralds and other birthstones!
The lovely emerald, the symbol of love, rebirth and eternal youth takes center-stage in May at Crater Rock Museum. This lovely gem was sold in Babylon markets as early as 4000 BC, and was a favorite of Cleopatra, who ruled Egypt from 47 BC to 30 BC. For kids of all ages, our Rock Yard will be open, offering rock hounds the chance to find petrified wood, agates, jasper, obsidian, and many other great rocks…all for just 25 cents per pound. Although classes at CRM are geared to elementary school-aged children, all ages are welcome.
Admission for children is FREE, Adults $5, Seniors $3. Crater Rock Museum is located at 2002 Scenic Avenue, Central Point. For more information, contact Philip Roberts at 541-414-9514, Pam Sasseen at 541-608-8091, or Crater Rock Museum at 541-664-6081.
