The Maine Pegmatite Workshop for 2010 if officially taking registrations as of today. Held once again at Poland Mining Camps in Poland, Maine, we are hopeful that you can attend this annual event! The Workshop dates for this year are May 29 to June 4, 2010. (Memorial Day week).
This Workshop is a week of interactive, educational lectures and field classes concerning pegmatology, as we also visit and collect at active pegmatite quarries closed to the public each day. This is an unbelievable opportunity for the beginner to the advanced enthusiast, from College Students to the Professionals to expand your knowledge base and explore new ideas with others of like-minds. We welcome registrants at all levels of expertise, because we all have something to learn and things to share. And, we can guarantee you, that you will see and get to do things that very few enthusiasts ever will.
