Test Article

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

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!
