Collecting Pyrite at the La Victoria Mine in Spain

Join us for our next FM-NJ monthly meeting on Tuesday, May 20, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Monmouth Worship Center in Marlboro, NJ!

We have a terrific presentation lined up this month, featuring club member Frank Stanski, who will share his personal experience collecting pyrite cubes at the famed La Victoria mine in Spain.
You've seen these stunning specimens at shows… maybe even own one yourself…
But how many of us actually know someone who's been there and collected them firsthand?

This is sure to be a highly aesthetic, one-of-a-kind presentation you won't want to miss!
