November 9th, Saturday Lunch with Earle the Agate Man 12 Noon to 2:00 PM – Did you know that the Lake Superior agate is the state stone of Minnesota? Earle does! Earle Kask has lived on Sunfish Lake since 1960, and has been busy collecting agates, mostly from Lake Elmo. He wants to share stories about some of his special and favorite agates, including one from Normandy Beach! Earle has been a member of St. Croix Rockhounds since its inception in 1975. Agates are a semi-precious rock formed from volcanoes thousands of years ago. Although they can form in all types of host rock, most of the world’s agates developed in ancient volcanic lava. Other cracks and seams also formed when adjoining sections of lava cooled at different rates. Come join Earle for lunch at Sally Manzara Interpretative Nature Center on November 9 from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. to learn more about this special rock. Donations are very welcome. Please call 651-408-2838 and tell the receptionist you are coming, or leave a message with your name and the number of people you are bringing.
