[Rockhounds] Junior Geology

[Lawrence Rush]

Anita: Another game I like to play with the kids is to give them, one at a 
time, an inexpensive specimen, and tell them to come back in 10 minutes, and 
if they can tell me the name of the one I gave them, I give them a second, 
different one, have them come back and tell me the 2 names, etc. I have had 
kids come back 6 times before they "flunk out"..only then do I give them the 
labels. They love the challenge (and the free minerals!)
