LIVERMORE VALLEY LITHOPHILES
Gem and Mineral Society
 

The clubs most important event of the year is our Gem and Mineral Show 'LITHORAMA' held in November.

The club also has a booth at the Livermore Wine and Arts Festival held in downtown Livermore. We specialize in inexpensive, but good quality jewelry and mineral specimens, many of which are collected on the club's field trips. Children especially love to purchase our rock stuffed grab-bags and spin the 'Wheel of Fortune', where every spin is a winner.

We also have a booth at the Livermore Children's Fair with many types of material that children enjoy.

Every year the Lithophiles present a scholarship to a Geology Student from California State University, East Bay. This scholarship is in the form of a 'Brunton' Transit which the students use in their Field Geology Class.
 


For the past several years the club has had an educational and information booth at both the Pleasanton/Dublin Science Fair and at the Livermore Science Fair. Both of these Science Fairs are organized by the school districts. The Pleasanton/Dublin Science Fair has over 3500 science projects on display and about 15,000 students, parents and teachers attend the event.
